During this retreat, you will be staying at any homestay or guesthouse / bungalow type of accommodation, spreading across the Sesandan Megati Village. Baligrass Retreats offers an authentic taste of Bali, nestled in the quiet traditional village, and the main retreat area (yoga, other activities, dining area) is surrounded by the rice paddy farmlands of Sesandan Megati village.

Homestay type means guests will stay at a local family house. Guesthouse type means guests will stay at a more private location, not at the local family house. All the accommodations, either homestay type or guest house type, are located separately from the retreat center (yoga, activity, dining area). It takes about 5 minutes' drive or 10 minutes' walk from the accommodation to the retreat center. Shuttle services are provided to connect guests from the accommodation and retreat center.

Program

Come to learn a thousands-year-old ancient yoga practice—traditional Balinese Watukaru yoga in a healing sanctuary located in a spiritual village in the middle part of the island. Be showered with the unique hospitality, warmth, and kindness of local Balinese people; rejuvenate your body and mind with world-popular Balinese spa treatments while being surrounded by lush tropical greenery. Experience 100% authentic Balinese Hindu culture and shamanic healing rituals.

Make this retreat a special treat for yourself or loved ones with super fun cultural excursions to choose from, such as natural coconut oil making, waterfall purification, beach BBQ, yoga on the beach, rice farming, and so many more! Let’s not forget yoga, meditation, chakra opening, Tai Chi, martial arts, and pranayama practices to get your body moving!

The retreat is run only by local people in a traditional Balinese village away from tourism. It is the perfect place for you to get away from busy tourist parts of Bali to unwind, recharge, and rejuvenate your body, mind, and soul. Most importantly, this retreat is about you. It’s about taking time for yourself to observe yourself, to understand yourself, to reconnect with yourself, and to love yourself in a kinder way.

Take this incredible journey for yourself and come to help Baligrass Retreats spread the love for traditional Balinese Watukaru yoga. Share ancient Balinese wisdom and support the local community!

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 practicing 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. 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 and the inner flow of energy in its practice.

Held by traditional Balinese Watukaru Yoga practitioners that believe without meditation and chanting, yoga is just an exercise / sport, and the physical practice of yoga is the preparation for meditation, which helps you to silence your mind and heal your body.

During this retreat, you will have access to 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 two daily yoga classes followed by meditation, you can take part in two villages or cultural activities every day, such as rice farming, waterfall purification, coconut oil making, Balinese cooking class, Balinese language workshop, traditional Balinese dance performances, and so many more! You will share these beautiful four days with likeminded people from around the globe and open your mind to the diversity and beauty of 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. A beautiful opportunity to experience authentic Balinese Hindu culture while practicing yoga and self-love! Baligrass Retreats can't wait to welcome and grow with you!
