six days of bliss
Join me as we return to beautiful Bali! My retreats are heavily focused on the TREAT part. Expect plenty of delicious food, lovely welcome gifts and treats, a perfect blend of yoga and free time. You can join in on the optional activities, book in massages, cool off in the pool and give yourself plenty of rest time for you.
Whether you've been practicing for years or just getting started this is an opportunity for you to experience true rejuvenation and connection. Welcome to your Bali retreat adventure! Read on for all the details.
what to expect
for our retreat in ubud, bali
yoga
On our open air yoga terrace
A yoga retreat wouldn't be complete without plenty of yoga right?
Each morning we will start the day moving our bodies in the warm Balinese heat with a dynamic practice. In the evenings we'll have the incense burning as we wind down with gentle, restorative yoga. Yoga mats, towels and cushions provided.
accommodation
In Huts Rock, Ubud, Bali
Six-nights in this nine bedroom, nine bathroom villa enclosed in a magical sculpture garden. We have a pool to cool off in, peaceful daybeds on the terraces to chat, read or meditate on, and a koy pond mote encircling us. Each room features stone walls, wood installations, and hand-painted art to complete the Balinese touch.
food
All the flavours of Bali
Post- yoga breakfast of fresh tropical fruit, pancakes, eggs and noodles alongside fresh-squeezed dragonfrruit, mango and watermelon juices. After a day exploring we return to the villa for Indonesian buffet-style dinners full of incredible flavours, rounded off with tasty desserts.
little extras

"I was fortunate enough to go on one of Elenas' yoga retreats. It was a truly wonderful experience from start to finish. Her yoga classes were amazing, and that is simply because she cares. Elena is a positive, generous, thoughtful, and nurturing soul and will go above and beyond to ensure you get whatever it is you need from your yoga practice. Be it flexibility and technique or mindfulness, self reflection, or motivation. This retreat came at just the right time for me, with the overwhelm of work and family life, and it left me restored, energised....and desperate to join all her future yoga classes and retreats!!"

what's not included
Your transportation to the retreat.
* If you'd like help organising flights I can recommend a wonderful travel counsellor to assist you. Reccommendations for drivers within Bali will be provided to all attendees
Transport between villa and central Ubud - typically £1.30 each way - far cheaper than an Uber!
Lunches are not included as most days we will be away from the villa exploring Ubud. If you budget about £10 a day you'll be eating like royalty for lunch.
Any expenses from the daily optional activities.
Massages or Spa treatments either on site or in Ubud.
optional daily activities
Five full days allows us plenty of time to explore Ubud as a group as well as for you to do whatever makes your heart sing while you are in Bali.
On Monday, Wednesday and Friday we'll explore Ubud together as a group. Tuesday and Thursday you can treat yourself to the most incredible luxurious massage at Ubud Traditional Spa, book onto a Balinese cookery course at Bali Farm Cooking, immerse yourself in Balinese botanics or even learn to weave baskets or make your own silver jewelry.
You are also welcome to take the free days as time to read, swim, shop, explore temples, markets and Ubud Palace.
* Please note the easiest and quickest way to get from Huts Rock into central Ubud is by Grab scooter. Grab is the local version of Uber but far more affordable! If you prefer to travel by car or on foot that works too but does take longer.
