About this trip
Joy, connected flow, lifted frequencies, luxury, and giant fun will fill your days during this soulful retreat. Over 7 days, we’ll dive into intention, be present to receive, flow and groove in immersive daily yoga practices set in a sun-lit treetop shala. We will laugh and revel dancing under stars, savor exotic and delicious meals and drinks, fill our days with abundant exploration of the natural beauty from waterfalls and jungle to rivers and spirituality and magic that is Bali. This will be a retreat for the mind, body and soul. We will float through this week in sheer bliss.
Find beauty, balance, and joy amidst the flux and flow of life. Spend the week floating in the lush tropical jungle, rice paddy fields, infinity pools, ancient temples, crystal clear ocean and soft white sand beaches. You will grow your yoga practice, give yourself love, self care and truly live the Bali Spirit. You will be present for yourself and come back glowing. You will return home longer, leaner, lighter and brighter. You deserve this reboot.
Our days will begin each morning with 2-3 hours of bespoke, connected and renewing yoga. A balanced blend of invigorating, sweaty vinyasa & juicy smooth, slower restorative flow. I will also teach workshop style asana breakdown for our daily asana work! It will be yoga at its deepest and most powerful.
Soulshine Bali Retreat and Resort is luxury in the jungle. Soulshine was created by Michael and Sara Franti and is dedicated to togetherness and the art of gathering people to share in the joy of wellness, music, incredible food and good vibes. Live music and DJs are on the menu everyday. Located in the heart of Bali, it is a jungle paradise - surrounded by rice terraces, ancient temples and a beautiful river that runs along the edge of the property. Soulshine is also a working organic farm that provides the freshest food daily to our restaurant.
Hinduism is the soul of Bali with over 20,000 temples in Bali. Incense burns throughout the villages as the local Balinese offer their prayers three times a day to please the Gods. The air is sweet, and perfumed by the offerings. A sense of gratitude and love envelops you. We will be staying in the thousand year old ancient rice fields, still carefully harvested today in the old traditions. Ubud is best known for it's generations of artisans. Wood and stone carvers, silversmiths, painters, batik makers, weavers, these skills and talents are passed down and carefully preserved. Dancers move gracefully as their hands and eyes tell the stories of lifetimes ago. Bali is a feast for the senses with almost daily ceremonies celebrating the cycle of life.
This will be a FULL week of buoyant yoga bliss.

FAQs
When will the retreat begin and end?
The training will begin with arrival flow (TBD depending on flights) & dinner on
Nov. 15 and end with breakfast on Nov. 22.
What is the deposit, and is it refundable?
The deposit is non-refundable and non-transferable.
Which airport should I fly into?
Bali’s airport is in Denpasar. It is about an hour from Soulshine Bali.
Which airline should it book with?
This will depend on your city of departure. We highly highly recommend booking directly with the airlines, and choosing an airline that is offering refunds or flexible changes. I will send out flight info about my flight. Hopefully most of us can get onto the same flight.
How long is the flight, and when should I plan to arrive and depart?
The length of the flight will depend on your departure city, of course. From the US, it takes about one day of travel. Most flights go through either Taipei or Singapore. Plan your flights so you arrive no later than 3 pm on Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, if possible. You can depart on Nov. 14, 2024—flights that depart after 3 pm are ideal. Again, we highly recommend booking flights directly through the airlines. China Airlines and Singapore Airlines are among our most recommended options. If you can, we strongly encourage extending your trip on either end (or both :). Again, I will send out flight info to connect us.
How do I get to and from the airport?
We will work with Soulshine Bali to coordinate transportation to and from the airport for those arriving on Nov.15 and departing Nov. 22.
If you arrive early (or depart late), most guest houses, Airbnb's and hotels can help you book airport transfer to or from your lodging.
Do I need a visa?
Many countries qualify for Visa on arrival.
How do I exchange my money?
Currency exchange services are very easy to find in Bali. These are recommended over ATM's due to ATM fraud, so we recommend bringing cash for rides and incidentals.
