Corey RThis was literally my first yoga retreat experience in my LIFE and I couldnāt of asked for a better first intro. From the food, to the staff, to the rooms, the pool and the setting, everything was amazing. I really loved how they immersed us into the culture, we got to make jamu and learned how to make offerings. I felt like I was part of the family even after just a few hours being that and I got to make a life long ābrotherā after meeting a Widi. Canāt wait to go back again and visit when Iām in Bali in 2021! š
Meredith GThis place was exactly what I needed! Would highly recommend. Kalina and the staff are so genuinely kind and welcoming. The yoga is fantastic. The food is is all vegan and so delicious. The scenery is so beautiful and serene, the perfect place for meditation, healing, and relaxation. I got to do and see so much as well as learn so much about Balinese culture. I also met some incredible like minded people which I think made the entire experience. No one was was cliquey or gossipy, everyone got along with one another and it was just all good vibes.
