BALI BLISS
YOGA RETREAT with MICHELA
26 Feb - 6 March 2021
8 nights in a private location in Balian Beach
Deepen your practice
Transform your journey
Become strong and centered
∞∞∞
After the great success of the Bali Bliss Yoga
Retreat in 2019&2020, I am delighted to be
able to offer this magical opportunity again.
Expect to dive deep into your practice, to
tap into your inner strength and to unveil
your true potential. We will be surrounded
by nature and supported by the best
Balinese staff. We will stay in a private
location so we have the whole space only
for ourselves. The Ocean and the River will
support us on the path to awakening.
Balian is a secluded black sand beach on the West
Coast, famous for its sunsets and surf. It takes
approximately 3h from the Denpasar international airport
to get there. Already the drive will open your senses, all
the colors, the people and temples you will see will make
you land already heart open. Balian Beach is an explosion
of green, black and blue colors, different textures and
elements of Nature! The powerful element of Water will
support your yoga practice during these 9 days. Balian is a
laidback surfer town with a couple of accommodation
possibilities and restaurants. The Balian River, which ends its journey here, is an amazing and very
clean fresh water river. When I was there, I used to swim in it every day. By the way, Balian means
"healer", and still today the locals perform healing ceremonies on the shores of the river.
We will be staying in a private location, not a hotel, resort or B&B. This is important for me, so we
can really feel free and undisturbed as a group to grow our yoga practice day after day. The
property consist in several small houses to sleep in, an amazing yoga shala with views over river
and ocean, a small swimming pool and a common area where we share meals. We will have a cook
who prepares vegetarian meals with fresh, local products and love and have staff to keep things
organized and clean.
This is how our kiwi friend Ben, the owner, describes it: “The house was the first house to be built
at Balian, it was built back in the day when there was no electricity, no road, only a track though
the coconut trees. It was built as a place for friends to come and hang out, have a good time, and
enjoy the pristine surf and spectacular sunsets. This is pretty much what still happens here today,
except now there are few more bedrooms so instead of bunking down on mattress's on the Bale
floor or in hammocks strung from the eves, we can accommodate larger groups more
comfortably. But the essential charm and the way we do things has not changed at all.”
The rooms/houses are simple but clean, there
is no A/C. There are 4 double/triple/quadruple
rooms with private bathroom, the other 2
rooms share a bathroom. The houses are all
different in traditional Balinese/Javanese style
and are spread over beautiful green and lush
grounds, there is plenty of space to “just be”.
Don’t expect luxury, we are guests of Ben’s
amazing house and he has picked us to stay
with him. Ben is a surfer, craniosacral therapist
and international jeweler. He opens his house
to groups only when he knows the teachers
and feels their work is in line with his own.
We will practice Yoga twice a day, and close the day with a powerful meditation session. In the morning we will get strong with an invigorating, complete Hatha Flow Practice of 2.5 hours and at the end the afternoon with a Yin Yoga class of 2 hours. Teachings will include pranayama, sitting and mantra. This retreat is not suitable for beginners and recommended for yogis with at least one year of steady experience. Sessions are held in English. About MICHELA I teach retreats internationally since 2014 and I am a passionate Ocean and Bali lover. I have been visiting the island of the Gods already on 7 occasions, and each time a piece of my heart stays when I leave. Balian means a lot to me, I lived there for 2 months in 2018 and had the chance to meet many locals and teach at the local hotel shala. I am delighted to share my love for Bali with you!

We will arrange 2 Balinese massages per person during the stay. We will also do a half day trip either to a water fall or neighboring beach, the half day trip is subject to change due to weather conditions. Let us know if you are interested in any other trip/activity and we can arrange it. How to get there / Practical information Weather March in Bali is the very end of the rainy season, on the coast it rains less then inland. It’s hard to predict, but generally there are days of sun with no rain and days with a bit of rain and some days with heavier rain in the afternoon. Generally everything dries out very quick after the rain and the sun comes out. It’s tropical climate: everything changes in writhing minutes sometimes! It’s hot, there’s about 30-32° Celsius during the day. HOW to get there Flights to Denpasar/Bali international airport are fairly cheap in March. February/March are indeed low season. I normally use Qatar Airways from Zurich or Milan. Check Zurich, it’s often cheaper than Milan. Also Emirates and Singapore Airlines offer good deals. For a taxi from the airport do Denpasar to Balian Beach count 40-50 US$. It will be easy to share if you arrive on a same flight like someone else in the group. We can help you arrange a taxi in advance. What else? There are almost no mosquitos or other bothering animals. No vaccination is needed. Generally no Visa is needed for stays under 30 days, but please check if your case applies here: https://www.bali.com/visa-indonesia-entry-requirements-bali.html Closer to the trip, I will send you a list of what to take and what is important to know!
