We will first spend 4-nights on the coast of Canggu at the Udara Bali Yoga Spa to settle in post-travel. Udara Bali is an integrated healing yoga resort offering wellness and detox lifestyle to alleviate the stress of modern living. Nestled between the Indian ocean, rice fields and surrounded with ancient temples, Udara sets the mood for a relaxing and authentic Bali holiday. 

Udara is in a nice quiet spot facing the ocean; great location to get away from the hustle and bustle you can find in other parts of Bali.

If you do want a bit of action, it is a short walk along the beach to Echo Beach where there are restaurants, bars, shops, etc. The hotel also provides a free shuttle into Canggu for you to explore! 

The design of this resort is breathtaking: hot and cold pools, hot tubs, meditation room, saunas, and incredible yoga shalas overlooking the Indian Ocean. Each room is uniquely designed, equipped with clean linens, comfy beds, air conditioning, an amazing private outdoor bathroom and spectacular views;  just a step outside your back door.

During your stay at Udara, you can attend any of the their free classes including Aerial Silks, Acro Yoga and Water Aerobics. You will also receive a welcome massage in traditional balinese style to relax into the space! 

Lotus Retreats teachers will be offering daily yoga classes, workshops and a welcoming ceremony to begin our practice of Self-Realization & Empowerment.

RELOCATE TO THE CENTER OF UBUD - THE SOULSHINE BALI RETREAT OASIS

Transport inland to the heart of Ubud to one of Bali’s best Yoga Oasis, The Soulshine Bali Luxury Hotel! Here we will settle in for 4-days and 3-nights to practice yoga daily, explore all the offerings nearby in Ubud and zen out in the infinity pool and beautiful views. 

Soulshine is an independent hotel focused on relaxed luxury and nestled between ancient rice terraces, temples and a lush jungle landscape, peacefully located ten minutes from Ubud center.

Each room features handcrafted furniture by local artisans mixed with antique pieces and modern decor. The Soulshine Bali kitchen serves farm to table freshness from the organic garden with a menu full of delicious vegan, vegetarian and local flavors.

Along with the inclusion of Bali’s tradition, you’ll see temples, statues and daily offerings by the local Balinese community that has welcomed this resort kindly into their heritage. 

Lounge by the infinity salt-water pool, stroll through the organic garden or ride scooters into the bustling town of Ubud to see all that this wonderful place has to offer. 

Our mission during a Self-Realization & Empowerment Retreat is to offer daily yoga classes, workshops and ceremonies to deepen your understanding of Self, or spirit, and leave you feeling empowered and connected to your divine purpose. 

We will gather on the Yoga shala twice a day to practice Yoga! We offer a variety of styles; Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative and Yin tailored to all levels. The purpose is to come into union with your physical body, the vessel of your spirit and move energy freely with breath & movement. 

We will offer daily workshops & opening & closing ceremonies to deepen your understanding of yogic practices and the study of Self. We offer unique group exercises and bonding opportunities to deepen the study together and share our experiences. Every activity is optional yet encouraged. Some of the exercises and activities we do during a Self-Realization & Empowerment Retreat week are so unique, eye-opening and heart-opening that it leaves every guest with the true sense of self-realization & empowerment.

Excursions and group activities are a huge part of a Lotus Retreats week! Every week offers optional activities to enjoy with the group or individually. During our time in Bali we will offer a variety of excursions to fully experience the natural, cultural and spiritual beauty that it offers!

First experience a true combination of natural beachside beauty combined with a traditional balinese temple at Canggu's Tanah Lot temple on the ocean. We will also offer a visit the the cleansing Titra Empul Water Temple near Ubud where a temple keeper will show us the exact steps for cleansing.  Tirta Empul, meaning ‘holy water spring’ is actually the name of a water source located within the temple. The spring feeds various purification baths, pools and fish ponds surrounding the outer perimeter, which all flow to the Tukad Pakerisan River. 

Stroll through the streets of Canggu during our first stop at the Udara Detox Spa for a variety of modern day shops, restaurants, and a vibrant nighttime scene. And as we make our way inland to Ubud, you'll have plenty of free time to shop endlessly through the well known Ubud street markets, spend an afternoon with a community of monkeys in the Ubud Monkey Forrest and enjoy a plethora of handcrafted vegan and vegetarian restaurants. We recommend you rent a scooter for a day or two and whip around Ubud's playground to see all that it has to offer! We will also arrange taxis and shuttles for those who choose not to ride a scooter.

For our early morning adventurers, a sunrise hike to Mt. Batur followed by a morning of delicious breakfast and hot springs post trek!

While in Ubud we will also organize evening events to watch a traditional Balinese Fire Kecak Trance Dance that weaves a spiritual story in with a sure site to see! We will also offer time for those wanting to explore other well known Ubud places like the YogaBarn for an evening of Friday Ecstatic Dance with a community of Yogis in Ubud.

Ubud offers a nurturing place for the soul to restore itself, also known as the heart chakra of the world, it’s feminine energy and healing qualities bring seekers from all over the world.  Its healing vortex and metaphysical abilities are one for everyone to experience on their own.

Yoga is a practice not only on the mat, but in the kitchen! Nourishing ourselves from the inside out is a HUGE component to a Lotus Retreats week. 

You will enjoy slow, whole, and organic food influenced by the traditional Balinese kitchen. Everything is homemade, prepared carefully with much laughter and love.

Nourish your soul with daily handcrafted meals made with love for breakfast and dinner. 

Additional lunch plates are available at the resort but we also encourage lunches elsewhere in the town to taste all of Ubud’s offerings. 

Udara's Detox Spa serves Asian/Western cuisine fresh from the earth and sea. With a focus on healthy, fresh and organic vegan, vegetarian and seafood dishes, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner in an ambient setting of local fishermen.

At Soulshine Bali, eating healthy is made easy and delicious.  Local specialities, veggie burgers, grilled fish, creamy vegan pasta or a raw desert, you'll always find something nourishing or indulgent in our predominantly vegan menu. All of Soulshine's organic ingredients and produce comes from their own organic garden and neighbouring farms.
