About this trip

Relish in 6 days of meditation, daily yoga practices, heartfelt experiences, ceremony and sacred disconnection nestled amidst lush bamboo forests and the soothing sounds of nature, in Bali’s cultural heart away from the bustle at a private luxury sustainable resort.


This retreat will be an intimate group immersion of like-minded souls on a journey to elevated health and wellbeing by dissolving all barriers and being open to receive. We’ll begin our days with observation, guided meditation and vigorous yoga practices in a most well-equipped yoga shala with a serene private setting positioned to offer breathtaking views of the surrounding greenery, followed by delicious breakfasts.


The Expansive Heart retreat 2024 includes daily yoga & meditation, transformational workshops, intention-setting ceremonies, consciously planned excursions, a majestic trip to a gorgeous waterfall, and lots more.


Shahad’s hatha yoga teachings weave elements from various practices and lineages primarily the Ghosh lineage. Her classes invoke deep awareness through a challenging, yet fluid journey of effort and ease through the body with precise cues, deep concentration, and an unwavering presence. Through the use of meditation, pranayama, kriya and asana as tools to hone mind-body connection you will create strength and flexibility in your body while exploring new depths on the mat.


All experiences, excursions and personally cherished guest facilitators have been consciously considered to further amplify the journey within. This journey is designed to create a harmonious balance between yoga practice, nature immersion, cultural exploration, and personal reflection. It will be a physical, mental and emotional reset and recalibration.

May it be a source of inspiration and renewal for your heart and spirit.

From a young age, Shahad often journaled and reflected on life. That inquiry led her on a 10-day Vipassana Meditation course of silence straight after graduating university and set her on the path of yoga. To Shahad, the continuous practice of yoga is a seed of self-liberation from all non-truth. With countless hours of yogic study and practice, her classes invoke deep awareness through a challenging, yet fluid journey of effort and ease through the body with precise cues, deep concentration, and an unwavering presence. All are welcome.

I love participating in Shahad’s wonderful yoga classes and retreats! This experience was well organized and well attended, with a perfect balance of free time, mixed with Yoga and mindful classes. The crowd that Shahad’s events attract are kind and amazing people looking to better themselves. Shahad is an amazing instructor, and ensures all her students excel and get the most out of the practice. Very very recommended!!!

I try my best to make it to Shahad’s beach sound healing because they’re always such a treat. We are so lucky to have them in such a beautiful location. The only thing is that time flies way too fast 🤭. If you get the chance to attend one, do not hesitate. I promise you won’t regret it. I am still thinking about our last session and it was so magical. The sky was clear and there she was, the most beautiful and brightest moon. A few days later and I still get the chills reminiscing about it all. The sound healing is always a perfect reset. A time where I can prioritize self care and recenter myself before returning to our busy world. Nothing but pure gratitude 🫶🏾

This was my first ever yoga treat and I was invited by my lovely sister Shireen to join her and experience this wonderful weekend in Bait Chedi. Shahad is an incredible yoga instructor and also a humble and loving being. I was able to connect with her so easily and she helped me with some of the non-yoga stuff too. I learnt a lot of science based facts on right breathing techniques, about stress, and human nervous system and how yoga connects with rest of the body. Her sessions were energising, fun and for people of all levels of ability. I truly felt a much needed positive shift in my life, so thank you very much Shahad for sharing your knowledge and skill. Meet amazing people, had good conversations. Brian, remarkable person and thank you for sharing your advice and guidance on helping me transition into my teaching career. You both make a great team and inspiring teachers🙏
