Welcome to Yoga Soul Sisters Spirit of Ubud, Qigong & Yin Yoga Retreat

Immerse yourself in the practices of Qigong and Yin Yoga, focusing on the 5 Element Theory, for healing and transformation. 

Ubud is the spiritual centre of Bali. This magical place embraces traditional Balinese culture. You will experience the grace of daily offerings, exquisite cuisine and the warmth and gentleness of the Balinese people.
We will be staying at The Shala Bali, a sanctuary created to reconnect with our essence and realign with nature.  This idyllic natural environment is sure to inspire harmony between Body, Mind, Spirit and Earth, the fundamental ingredients to living a joyful and healthful life.  

"It is our hope that no matter what you are seeking, after a stay at The Shala Bali, you will depart with a greater sense of peace." The Shala Bali.

There will be plenty of free time to relax and explore the local, cafes, day spas and shops too.
