Welcome! I am delighted to take you on this remarkable self-discovery journey that combines the calming beauty of Bali, with daily morning yoga practice and training in the traditional Ayurvedic healing.  

Each day, we will go on an adventure and explore the diverse and rich culture of the island.   Breakfast will be served at our resort everyday.  There will be ten other meals included.   We will have ample time to swim in the pool, or go into the nearby town of Ubud to shop & dine or schedule a massage at the spa in our resort. 

This retreat is tailored to help you reach a state of peace, balance and harmony in your mind, body and consciousness.  You will connect with like-minded souls that will perhaps develop into loving and lasting friendships. You will come out of this journey feeling refreshed and rejuvenated.    

PLEASE CLICK ON ALL THE SECTIONS BELOW to read all the important info about the retreat including what is and is not included, refund and cancellation policy, travel FAQ's, etc.

NOTE:  This retreat requires that you purchase travel insurance.  Please read the Refund Policy below before booking your spot.  Thank you!  

Once full payment is received, a Retreat Waiver and Release will be sent to you for signature and confirmation.

A non-refundable deposit of USD $850 is needed to secure your spot and goes toward the balance of your trip.

The balance of your trip can be paid in full or can be paid in two additional payments: 

- on July 23, 2025 and September 23, 2025.  

Tailored payment plans are available upon request.  

In the unfortunate event you need to cancel your trip: 

- Your USD $850 deposit is non-refundable. 

Due to the required payment structure of the resort, if you cancel between July 23 and September 23, we will only be able to issue a refund if we sell your spot on the retreat (less the non-refundable USD $850 deposit).  

Should you cancel on or after September 23, 2025, we are unable to offer any refunds. 

Our cancellation policy includes illnesses, emergencies and any unforeseen circumstances. 

A travel insurance policy, including trip cancellation and interruption, baggage, accident, emergency assistance and medical assistance is recommended. We strongly encourage you to protect yourself and buy travel insurance.

In the highly unlikely event that the resort or Arvi needs to cancel the trip, all payments, including the deposit, will be promptly refunded to you.

What if I 'm new(ish) to yoga?

All levels are welcome.  It's my goal as a teacher and group leader to make everyone feel successful and included. We will accommodate all levels and goals throughout the trip. This is how you grow!

What if I don't want to participate in some of the activities/excursions?

You certainly don't have to! Everything is optional and your time can be spent how you wish. 

If I don't participate in an activity, can I receive a discount?

Unfortunately not. The activities are bundled into the overall cost for each individual. 

Can dietary restrictions be accommodated? 

Yes they can be accommodated! I'll be gathering dietary needs prior to the trip so the resort is aware.

When will people arrive and depart? What is the transfer situation like?

Most guests will fly into Ubud on November 23rd. The transfer to/from the airport is included in the cost of the trip and will be arranged once flight details are shared with the resort.

Is this trip right for me?

We know that group travel can be intimidating, however, most people drawn to a trip like this are of like minds. If you enjoy a blend of relaxation, nature, activity, exploration, good food, and connecting to yourself and others, then this trip is right for you! 

While you can spend your time as you wish, this trip is likely not right for you if you are averse to the outdoors, are recovering from a severe injury, have difficulty with a lot of steps (Bali has a lot of up/down terrain), or would prefer a lot of seclusion. Still not sure? Contact me and we'll talk through it!  Email me to arrange a time to chat at arvigosmo@gmail.com

What if I decide to arrive a day or two earlier and stay a few days after the retreat?

This is absolutely ideal.  Arriving a day or two before the retreat will allow you to acclimatize, and stay for some extra days after the retreat will also give you a chance to explore other parts of the island.  The retreat venue has agreed to accommodate for such request should you wish to stay at the venue.  For more details, feel free to email me at arvigosmo@gmail.com.  You're welcome to make other arrangements should you wish to stay in a different venue/hotel, before or after the retreat.

Mobility and Fitness Level Requirements:

- Participant should be comfortable walking up and down stairs at the resort, to enjoy the included excursions, and easily move from standing to seated positions. 

- If there is any concern about participating in physical activities, please consult your doctor.

Minimum age:

- Participants must be 18 years of age or older.  Exceptions can be considered if a minor is joining the retreat with a parent or legal guardian.
