      About this trip

      Join Loren Lotus & Ryann Tillman with Lotus Retreats for 8-days and 7-nights of Self-Realization & Empowerment in the heart of Bali, Indonesia! Bali is an island of natural, cultural, and spiritual wonders.

      What better way for you to experience her magic than on an unforgettable Bali Yoga Retreat with Lotus retreats!  Our Bali retreat will allow you to fully immerse yourself in the relaxation, culture, and beauty of Bali - all while deepening your yoga practice.


      Retreat yourself to a week of Balinese culture, Buddhist and Hindu spirituality and an abundance of unique offerings special to this island. Practice yoga daily, relax and detox by a beachside spa with Balinese massage, and explore the heart center of Ubud! We'll offer excursions to explore The Monkey Forrest, cleanse in the Titra Empul water temple and immerse with a variety of Balinese tradition and nighttime activities including kekac fire dances!


      Accommodations

      ARRIVE & SETTLE IN  FROM TRAVEL - UDARA BALI YOGA DETOX SPA


      We will first spend 3 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.

      But 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 about 4 times a day for you to explore! 

      The whole 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 Loren Lotus & Ryann Tillman 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

      On Tuesday, we will 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 5-days and 4-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 flavours.


      Along with the inclusion of Bali’s tradtion, 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. 

      Yoga and Workshops

      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 physical asana with Loren and Ryann. They will 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

      Nourishment

      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.

      This was a wonderful retreat in a beautiful setting. I loved the yoga classes, food, and the cultural immersive experiences. I highly recommend a Lotus Retreat!
      By Kathy A for Lake Atitlan, Guatemala NYE Reset Retreat (2024!) on Jan 06, 2024
      Incredible cultural voyage through the sacred valley of Peru. This was an adventurous and beautiful retreat. More than just asana yoga. There were indigenous ceremonies, hikes through the mountains, and historical site visits. Lotus Retreats always forms a connected group and we had a blast in Peru. I would 100% travel with Lotus Retreats again

      First and foremost, apologies for this super overdue review. I just realized that I haven't left a review for Loren Lotus, but periodically I have thought about this magical retreat I went on with Loren in 2018 to Colombia. Loren was very communicative about all the trip details beforehand, and planned very special programs; a small trip to the neighboring village with a local guide, interesting workshops with great guest teachers, etc. although she is an amazing instructor! The retreat venue was magical and was very accommodating about everyone's dietary restrictions. I spent possibly the best week of my life, and I am forever grateful for that experience. Highly recommend it if you are looking for something to nourish your mind, body, and heart. Thank you Loren. I hope you are doing well! Sending love.

      I had an amazing experience in Colombia with Lotus Retreats in July 2023. Loren and Rachel are fantastic women who lead with love and light. They show so much care and respect towards each person's experience and offer each guest the opportunity to make their trip as busy or relaxed as they wish it to be. I highly recommend the excursions, as I got to experience more of Colombia and the history of its culture; however, they are optional, which is great on days when a guest would prefer some time spent in reflection. The daily yoga offerings were my favorite part, as they brought different styles of yoga, pranayama techniques, and sound healing into class. And finally, the freshly prepared, locally-sourced meals were INCREDIBLE. My body is still thanking me!

      I had the opportunity to deepen my practice / experience the beauty of Tulum Mexico with Lotus Retreats and would do it again in a heartbeat! The Lotus Retreats crew quickly created a space of loving community, increased awareness, and intentional practice within the first few hours of our retreat and it only got better from there! These retreats are special. Humanity in raw form. I'll be back for more, no doubt!
