This was not a yoga retreat but a return home to family. From the time I arrived until way after I got home I just felt part of this family. Karin went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and happy. She also took me on long walks explaining the Balinese Culture, Fauna and Flaura to me.

Persoonlijk (op maat) - Ontdekkingstocht - Authentiek zijn 3 woorden waaraan ik denk bij deze 5-daagse. Op voorhand leer je Karin al kennen en verkent ze al wat je uit deze ervaring wilt kunnen halen. Daardoor voel je je al meteen thuis wanneer je aankomt. Nadat je de dag start met yoga en meditatie in het groen, neemt ze je enthousiast en bezield mee naar heel wat verborgen pareltjes. De begeleiding is helemaal persoonlijk afgestemd (en flexibel per dag zelfs!) en niet te vergeten, je verblijfplaats op de glamping is hemels. Ik heb er unieke ervaringen, warme steun en mooie inzichten uitgehaald en kan het alleen maar aanraden!

Dank je wel lieve Karin en Edwin,Wayan,... voor deze geslaagde retreat!

While desperately needing a break from day to day life, and as a first-time solo traveler, I was looking for a yoga & meditation retreat that would allow me to unwind but maintain balance between the spiritual versus fun side of things.

The retreat met and exceeded all my expectations. I had an instant connection with organizers Karin, Wayan and BJ. I felt comfortable and was allowed to be my (purest) self. The variation between cultural trips (cooking class, jewelry making and, on my own request, speeding over the island on our motorbikes) versus the spiritual activities (early yoga & mediation, visiting local / undiscovered temples, attending the rituals and prayers) was so much fun, energizing, rough at times but all within a safe space & surrounding.

Not only was the retreat and its schedule adjusted daily to my own needs & wishes (and that of the other attendant), overall it felt so personal. There was room for time off or additional time together with the now so-called Bali Family. They all helped a lot in the struggles I took with me to Bali but also allowed me to just unwind and have a beer and “chill”.

The accommodations were breath taking; away from the “mainstream must-visits” from Bali, away from crowded cities and back to nature, mountains, waterfalls and rice fields. I loved the Glamping tents, but was also offered a luxury villa (Bahari’s) for an extra night including a swimming pool. This helped to slowly “get adjusted” to daily life.

L'accueil chaleureux de Karin et Wayan, l'endroit idéal pour se ressourcer loin des bruits de la ville, les cours de yoga et méditation au bord de la piscine ou à la mer. Les activités culturelles étaient très bien, j'ai vécu comme une vraie Balinaise, proche de cette communauté, des gens accueillants et très sympathiques.
