Summer 2019, Ubud/Bali

Summer 2019, 21 - 30 July, Ubud/Bali

We stay at peaceful and relaxing boutique Hotel, situated in Pejeng, a small village just 10 min drive from central Ubud. Our hotel is perfectly nestled between lush green rice fields and a beautiful river valley. It offers ten unique, individually decorated rooms. Here everything waits for us to relax and let go. This verdant heaven of peace is built with respect for the environment, surrounded by fruit trees and deliciously perfumed plants. Featuring a blend of modern and traditional Balinese design, it features an outdoor pool, open-air restaurant, as well as many other resting areas.

Yoga Program:

While children daily enjoy creative workshops, designed specially for them, adults practice 2 hours yoga and 30 - 40 minutes meditation, after which we have time for questions and a discussion of yoga philosophy.

Every time it is a fully balanced class, which includes asana warm-up, chanting, setting of intention, surya namaskar, standing poses, back bends, forward bends, twists, inversions, meditation and relaxation. Some days it will be a very dynamic class with strong emphasis on balancing, inversions and unlocking the secrets to more "advance" postures. With the use of wall and prop work, this is a great class to empower, connect, and challenge you. You'll always leave feeling elevated and you did more than you thought you could. Some days the classes will be designed to give you an opportunity to relax, settle into your own body and shift into being mode. This slower moving class is intended to take the mindfulness that is found in our more dynamic and faster moving classes to another level. While this class is also about centering of breath and body, aligning the physical and the mental is achieved here by practicing stillness, gentle movements and holding the asanas (yoga poses) for extended periods of time. Thus it is a perfect complement to the dynamic classes that emphasize on creating internal heat and on the lengthening and contracting of our muscles. Deep restorative work improves range of motion and joint mobility, reduces pain and the effects of stress. This practice is designed to restore the nervous system and to help release deeply held tensions from the body and mind.
