BaliGreen team tries its best to offer every guest a truly nourishing experience filled with peace, beauty, joy, growth, and fun. They are dedicated to supporting the local community, contributing to sustainable cultural tourism, and spreading the love for Traditional Balinese Watukaru Yoga.

Beauty, grace, spirituality, and strength are some of the stunning features of traditional Balinese Watukaru Yoga. It focuses on the mind and one's spiritual awakening, hence the emphasis on meditation, chakra opening, and the inner flow of energy in its practice.

It is held by Traditional Balinese Watukaru Yoga practitioners that without meditation and chanting, yoga is just an exercise or sport. Moreover, the physical practice of yoga is ultimately the preparation for meditation, which helps people to silence their minds and heal their bodies.  

It is also believed that the body benefits from movements, whereas your mind benefits from stillness. The emphasis on the unity and harmony of our body and mind constitutes a large part of Watukaru Yoga practices and beliefs.

Traditional Balinese Watukaru Yoga is one of the oldest yoga practices in the world. It is said that thousands of years ago, 13 yogis from India (each practice their own style of yoga) came to Bali to practice on the top of Mount Watukaru, also known as Batukaru Mountain.

The spiritual energy of Bali (the Island of the Gods) inspired the 13 yogis, who took the best of their own yoga practices and created Balinese Yoga. They gave it the name Balinese Watukaru Yoga to pay tribute to the beautiful mountain on which they practiced together. Watukaru Mountain has since become a sacred place where local people host special Hindu ceremonies to receive blessings from the Gods.

During this retreat, you will practice with senior yoga instructors from one of the oldest spiritual ashrams in the world, Pasraman Seruling Dewata, which still conserves all of the original 13 styles of yoga exactly how they have created thousands of years ago in the Himalayas.  

Apart from your daily yoga / meditation classes, you can take part in a cultural activity / excursion every day, such as rice farming, waterfall purification, coconut oil making, Balinese cooking class, Balinese language workshop, traditional Balinese dance performances, yoga on the beach, Balinese Swing and many more! Don’t forget three heavenly Balinese meals every day, twice daily tropical juices, unlimited supply of a variety of beverages, and unforgettable pampering spa treatment!

Furthermore, you will share a wonderful time with likeminded people from all around the globe, open your mind to the diversity and beauty of many cultures, philosophies, practices, and beliefs. The spiritual energy of this peaceful village of Sesandan will elevate your spirit and renew your body, mind, and soul.  

All in all, a unique opportunity to be part of Balinese Hindu culture while practicing yoga and self-love! Are you ready for this beautiful getaway?
