About your trip

  

Nestled in the lush, tropical mountains of Ubud, where waterfalls meet sacred temples, this immersive retreat is an invitation to return to your essence-- the rhythm of your breath, your body, and your soul.


Each day, two transformative movement sessions guide you deeper into your natural flow. Mornings begin with soul-nourishing yin yoga that closes with a light groovy dance session, awakening your senses for the day ahead. Evenings pulse with dynamic dance rooted in West African influences and social dance methods, reconnecting you to universal rhythms that live within.  We’ll wrap up each dance-focused session with restorative and yin yoga to stretch and cooldown the body. 


More than a retreat, this is a homecoming—a journey back to yourself through movement and rhythm. You’ll nourish yourself with vibrant, wholesome cuisine and the serenity of Bali’s sacred landscape, offering you a reset that lingers long after you return home.

Surrender to the rhythm. Surrender to yourself. Bali is calling.
