Join Linda and Jordan for a magical week of yoga and hot pilates on one of the juiciest islands on the planet. In Bali, every local has an art that they practice actively, and every moment is lived as a miracle. Come immerse yourself in this gorgeous culture, and enjoy extraordinary massages, ancient temple-hopping, and adventuring through spectacular rice fields. We are staying at one of the most awarded boutique resorts on the island, where every wish comes true.
Wake up to the sound of birds, hop in your outdoor shower, then join the guided walk through the rice fields, or go for a luxurious swim in the pool. Meditate overlooking the jungle gorge or just sleep in.
Breakfast is at your leisure and probably the best you've ever had. That's what people have said again and again, and we agree.
The morning practice is two hours (alternating 2 hours of yoga, or 1 hour of Hot Pilates + 1 hour of Yoga), in a pavilion perched on a cliff looking down on a river and lush tropical forests. There are no words to describe the view. Time stops and all goodness is restored in the world.
The entire afternoon is open for you to enjoy lunch by the pool or join excursions, head to the beach, or visit spectacular temples, check yourself into the spa, or do some serious shopping in downtown Ubud.
The evening class is an hour (Hot Pilates or Yoga) to get us out in time for a sunset swim or maybe a second massage that day (trust us!).
Dinner will be either out on the town with the group or with a few friends, maybe enjoying a dance performance, or a 5-course gourmet indulgence in the private salon of Michelin-starred Mozaik, or just quiet time for you to restore.
All classes will cater to all levels; also, they are all optional. Pick and choose from what is offered based on how you feel - choose a little or choose a lot.
