BALI MOVEMENT & MEDITATION RETREAT

23 October-1. November 2023 we are going to Bali on a real luxury yoga retreat. We live in the most beautiful surroundings at a 4-star spa hotel surrounded by lush nature. Welcome to Jannata Resort,  a wonderful sanctuary near Ubud.

Everything is arranged here so that you can relax and enjoy the days. Here, I want you to experience inner peace and a complete sense of well-being.

JANNATA RESORT

Overlooking the rainforest and the Wos River, Jannata Resort & Spa is located on the edge of a stunning valley, surrounded by lush rainforests and picturesque rice terraces.

Each villa and each room is designed with care to complete the harmony with nature, traditional Alang Alang thatched roofs in complete harmony with nature. Indigenous Balinese flora and fauna such as cacao and coffee trees blend peacefully with bamboo, flame trees and orchids to create a unique tropical paradise.

THE SPA

Champaka Spa is a haven for the senses, with a comfortable lounge area and three private treatment rooms for massage and wellness treatments. - treatments you order and pay for yourself.

THE RESTAURANT

Amateras Restaurant at Jannata Resort & Spa serves an extensive menu of Western and Asian cuisine made from quality ingredients. The restaurant extends onto an open terrace for an outdoor dining experience. Elevated above the main pool with tropical views of lush valley greenery in the distance.

We will practice the Tibetan Rites, Yin & Yang Yoga, Dragon Dance Yoga, breathwork and meditation, enjoy delicious meals, go on excursions, explore the market in the city and generally calm down, enjoy life, breathe and feel. At the same time, we allow ourselves to be inspired and wake up to life by feeling the warmth of the sun, taking in the colorful surroundings, letting go of everyday life and stress at home and enjoy the good life in Morocco.

The practice: MOVEMENT, MEDITATION & MATCHA

This is Maria's signature practice. Every day we start with this ritual, which after the retreat you can take home with you and continue on your own to continue strengthening your body, mind, soul and heart. This is how it looks:

MOVEMENT

The five Tibetan rites + Yin & Yang Yoga + Dragon Dance Yoga (a slow Yoga Flow made by Paul and Suzee Grilley)

MEDITATION

Savasana + Silent meditation

MATCHA

Matcha is served as tea or latte, which we enjoy in silence as the day wakes up

These simple rituals have a great health-giving effect and you will feel strengthened both physically and mentally. The Tibetan rites are built up along the way from starting with five repetitions on day 1 which we gradually increase day by day throughout the stay. The yoga will be light, no advanced poses, easy does it.

In addition to the morning practice, we will also practice Breathwork and Yin/Restorative Yoga in the evenings. You will learn about the Tibetan Rites, where they come from, what they actually do to the body, and you will take home a booklet for inspiration for further practice.

The morning practice is followed by a lovely, healthy brunch, after morning practice and brunch, you have your own time until afternoon yoga at 5pm. We end the day together around the dinner table at 7pm. During your free time you can enjoy the pools, book a massage (paid separately), relax and just enjoy the surroundings until the next meal. There is also a free shuttle bus from the hotel into Ubud. 

This retreat is designed for us to relax in the place where we live. We take a trip into Ubud and look around the town and we visit the beautiful Campuhan mountain ridge.

In the place where we live there is a beautiful pool, wonderful gardens and spacious areas both inside and outside where you will feel the invitation to just relax. You should have enough time to enjoy lazy hours where not much else happens other than sunbathing, swimming, reading, etc.

Nearby you will find:

Campuhan mountain ridge - 30 min on foot

Ubud Royal Palace - 45 min on foot

Ubud Traditional Art Market - 45 min on foot

Ubud Monkey Forest

Agung Rai Art Museum
