At Prana Veda, guests are invited to explore the ancient science of Ayurveda. Located at the Prana Veda Bali Sanctuary, the Ayurvedic well-being program includes personalized Ayurvedic consultations, Dosha determination (Prana Veda Ayurveda Guide), Ayurvedic nutrition advice, and a range of treatments such as Abhyanga, Kizhi (heat compresses), and Ayurvedic Yoga Massages. Complementing this holistic approach are practices like oil pulling, Yoga, and Meditation, all designed to enhance well-being and support an Ayurvedic lifestyle.
A small, spacious, hidden retreat oasis on an endless lava sand beach, away from mainstream tourism, on the north coast of Bali with a beautiful coral reef at your doorstep for swimming, snorkeling, standup paddling, and dolphin watching. Come and enjoy:
Prana Veda Sanctuary is an organic manifestation of the owner's life dream and vision. “Live your dream” was always deep inside the owner and the vision to create a space of healing with her passion for community and love for people. A life guided her to Bali and to this place of tropical beauty by the Indian Ocean. After deep meditations and lots of dreams, she designed it from the ground up.
Then, together with the Balinese from the village, with their great craftsmanship, they built it to serve as a sanctuary, guesthouse, holiday retreat, healing place, and a social children’s association. They feel very blessed and thankful for this gift. Prana Veda Sanctuary was opened in 2010 to connect people from east and west, to learn, grow, heal, and just be.
Retreat guests are accommodated in beautiful rooms in the main building. All rooms of the main house have wooden floors and are furnished in Balinese and colonial style with antique furniture and decorated with Indian silks.
In the Balinese team, there are 13 warmhearted and loving staff members who take care of the wellbeing of guests. Most of them are from the village and many of them have been part of Prana Veda since the beginning. The familial atmosphere is very much appreciated and contributes to guests feeling so much at home in paradise.
The staff knows all guests by name and you can understand why people from all over the world grow so fond of them. Their wonderful open smiles during work are always touching. They are very thankful for each of the staff members who co-create the image of Prana Veda with their renowned Balinese kindness.
In 2014, they created the permaculture garden which provides organic fruits and vegetables. They strive towards sustainability and are aware of their social responsibility (solar system, LED lamps, waste separation, learning projects in local village schools, copper ionization and salt for the pools instead of chlorine, support for the coral reef protection project, and use of local resources).
On the 1st floor, there's a 63-meter-squared room with a teak wood floor, which invites you to yoga, meditation, and dance with a spectacular view across the ocean. There is also a yoga shala in the garden area where guests can practice yoga and meditation on their own, outside the retreats.
Prana Veda provides high-quality yoga mats, meditation cushions, blocks, bolsters, and belts. Prana Veda is a perfect place for small groups (4-12 people), who wish to be in a familiar atmosphere. Yoga is an ancient Indian philosophy of life and the Sanskrit word “Yoga” means union. It is the foundation of wellbeing and is effective in achieving and maintaining holistic health.
Yoga harmonizes the body, mind, and spirit through physical postures (Asanas), breathing techniques (Pranayama), as well as concentration, and meditation. The practice expands the consciousness and guides you to a freer spirit, while the exercises cleanse and rejuvenate your tissues and cells. Daily yoga and meditation classes in small groups are included in the retreat weeks.
The yoga instructors teach Hatha yoga influenced by traditional yoga techniques, Vinyasa flow, therapeutic, and Yin Yoga. The morning yoga sessions are adapted to the individual needs of the participants, combining physical postures and movements with guided breathing practices and meditation.
In this offer for the afternoon sessions, Yin yoga, and Restorative yoga are included and you'll practice different kinds of meditation: guided and silent meditations, breathing meditations, aquatic floating meditations, as well as dancing meditations in the open air. Yoga brings joy and harmony and a fulfilled life.
Ayurveda is becoming more and more known in the Western world. It is the oldest art of healing of humanity, over 5000 years old, and means "the science of life" in Sanskrit (old Indian language). The main difference between Ayurveda and the western medical system is, that Ayurveda integrates the body, mind, soul as well as cosmos, which makes it an integral healing method.
In allopathic medicine (western medicine) they just treat the symptoms, whereas, in Ayurveda, you'll focus on finding the roots of the symptoms. However, both of these are complementary systems and it is always recommended to think holistically.
One of the most important differences is that in Ayurveda, there are no side effects and you'll focus on the maintenance of the well-being of your body, mind, and soul, contrary to allopathic medicine, where you usually react and see a doctor, once a disease has already emerged.
This holistic healing method is about the path to unity that is to bring body, mind, and soul into harmony. Only when these three elements are in complete balance, holistic health is possible. Ayurveda includes preventive measures and healing methods. It improves your well-being and teaches you to be more aware of your natural needs and nature.
Learn mindfulness, improving the connection to your inner self, self-love, and sensitivity. Therefore, you'll become more open and sensitive. When you train the sensations in your body, you also train your mind. It helps you live more mindfully so that you can rebuild and strengthen your inner balance. Therefore, yoga and meditation are also essential parts of Ayurveda.
In Ayurveda, three major forces, the "Doshas", regulate all bodily, mental, and emotional functions. The balance of these three energies is responsible for the maintenance of health. According to Indian Philosophy, the "tridoshas" arise out of the five elements: air, ether, fire, water, and earth:
Especially in Western countries, some influences can bring your bioenergies (Doshas) into imbalance, such as daily stress, overwork, unhealthy diet (ready meals, preservatives, fast food), and pollution. Purification is also an important part of Ayurveda. Good and healthy digestion, enough fluid intake (herbal teas, warm water) to cleanse your cells and organs and organic, fresh food with Ayurvedic healing spices are also important. Massages help detoxify your body, as well as yoga and meditation which help to purify your body and soul.
Through a Dosha determination, learn which bioenergy is out of balance and what it needs to bring it back to balance. Ayurveda is about harmony and balance in your body, mind, and soul. Prana Veda is not an Ayurvedic clinic, they don’t offer Panchakarma treatments (three weeks of intense purifying treatments), there is no Ayurvedic doctor and they don’t use medicines. In Prana Veda, you will be accompanied by experienced Ayurvedic therapists.
At Prana Veda, they offer guests an insight into the millennium-old life science of Ayurveda. They offer guests a diverse Ayurvedic well-being program with Ayurvedic consultations, Dosha determination (Prana Veda Ayurveda guide), Ayurvedic nutrition advice, and various Ayurvedic treatments, (such as Abhyanga and Kizhi (heat compresses, Ayurvedic yoga massages).
Oil pulling, yoga, and meditation complement this Ayurvedic lifestyle. The Ayurvedic routine begins daily, early in the morning.
They recommend to guests which ingredients are good for their respective Dosha and offer specific Dosha healing spice blends. The omission of irritants such as coffee, black tea, and alcohol is recommended.
Furthermore, there is an excursion to the nearby waterfall, a visit to the children's dance project, as well as a day of silence included. During this rejuvenating and cleansing Ayurveda week, the massages support detoxifying your body.
You'll learn consciousness and mindfulness, how to nourish yourselves in an Ayurvedic way, yoga, and meditation and how to integrate this into your daily lives. This week offers new life energy, a stronger immune system, stability, and new inspirations.
At Prana Veda Bali, they offer a 6-day yoga program. As they are a small retreat center, they are able to care for guests individually. From Monday to Saturday, two yoga and meditation classes take place each day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
You will practice different styles of yoga like Hatha, Vinyasa Flow, Yin, and Restorative yoga, and different types of meditations such as water meditation in the Watsu pool, Yoga Nidra, breathing meditation, Buddhist mindfulness meditation, dance meditation, candle meditation, and silent meditation. In the morning, you'll start your yoga practice with a silent meditation and different Pranayama (breathing) techniques.
Hatha Yoga is a comprehensive combination of physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation. The asanas stretch and strengthen your body. You hold postures, which gives you to explore the proper alignment for each pose. This gentle style helps you to harmonize the connection between body, breathing, and mind.
In the Vinyasa class, the postures flow fluidly into one another. You glide from one posture to the next, harmonizing movement and breath. You develop strength and flexibility in a dynamic way and breathing and body awareness increase. Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga in which postures are held for about 3 to 5 minutes, which stimulates the meridians, the energetic pathways of the body. Flexibility is improved since the deeper layers of connective tissue are addressed.
Restorative yoga is similar to Yin yoga. The postures are held in stillness supported by props and bolsters. The focus is on winding down and relaxing your mind. Partner yoga is a playful approach to yoga that teaches how to connect with someone else, support one another, let go, and develop trust.
The Prana Veda yoga program comprises six 1.5-hour sessions in the morning and six 1-hour sessions in the afternoon. The classes build up progressively.
Get an up-close experience of Bali's beauty with a fun and adventurous trip to a waterfall and a visit to the children's dance project.
You can learn to prepare delicious Balinese dishes like Tempeh, vegetable dishes like Urab or Gado-Gado, and fish dishes together with chef Iluh and the kitchen staff. It is great fun chopping together, trying the mortar, and looking over the shoulder of the women while they are preparing the food.
Prana Veda has direct access to the ocean. The sea just in front of the property swarms with colorful tropical fish and coral beds, an ideal place to swim and snorkel.
Bali, the island of the gods and demons in the Indian Ocean, always fascinates its visitors. The special energy of this Hindu island, with all its rituals and traditions, accompanies its inhabitants from birth to death and further on. It is the basis of the families and the village communities. It creates the order of the family life and the ethical guidelines of the whole nation.
Bali belongs to the Lesser Sunda Islands and has a size of 5561 kilometers squared and a population of 4.5 million. From north to south, the island is 95 kilometers long and from east to west, 145 kilometers wide.
The climate is tropical. The temperatures by the coast are between 24 and 32 degrees and most of the time there is a pleasant breeze. The wet season is from November to March, which is very smooth compared to other monsoon areas. The north coast is in the shadow of rain and has an average rainfall of only 1000 milliliters, whereas, in the mountains, they can get up to 3000 milliliters of rain.
These originally warm-hearted people with their smiles in combination with tropical vegetation, gardens of Eden, beautiful rice terraces, countless temples and temple dances, impressive volcanic landscape, beaches, and the handicraft of the artists and healers make this island unique.
Most of the mountains in Bali have a volcanic origin and about 3/4 of the island is covered with volcanoes. The volcano Gunung Agung (“Big volcano”) is the highest volcano on the island of Bali measuring 3031 meters. In the Balinese culture, Gunung Agung is home to all the gods. Furthermore, this volcano is the center of the Balinese coordinate system.
The volcano last erupted in 1968 where 2000 people were killed and countless villages and (rice) fields were destroyed. West of Agung joins the 10-kilometer-wide caldera of volcano Batur massif with Gunung Abang as its highest elevation at 2153 meters. Inside the crater lie mount Batur (1717 meters), a young cone that erupted four times in the 20th century, and the crater sea, Danau Batur.
Bali is the only region next to India, Nepal, and Mauritius that has a majority Hindu population. Most Balinese people belong to the Agama Hindu-Dharma religion, which is the “Balinese version” of Hinduism. On the island, religion and life are closely intertwined: religion is life and life is religion. Religious ceremonies and celebrations are part of everyday Balinese life from birth to death.
Even beyond one’s death they play an important role. It is these traditions and ceremonies that hold Balinese families together and structure communities. They come into life with the foundation of every village and function as moral and ethical standards, which the people have to live by and act according to. All public holidays, gatherings, and celebrations always begin with a temple ceremony.
When the Indian Brahmans brought the Hindu gods to Bali in the 10th century, the Balinese culture was already highly developed. Therefore, the Balinese did not replace their religion with the Indian belief system but rather integrated elements of the Indian religion into their own.
The new cultural influences from India did not push away existing traditions and ceremonies but rather melted into them, creating an even richer and unique Balinese religion. The belief in the power of nature, the animation of the environment, and the worship of ancestors remained and together with the Hindu influences have created a complex, yet harmonious Hindu-Balinese religion.
Bali is also referred to as “The island of a thousand temples”. In the majority of cases, the temples are decorated elaborately, even those that are far away in more remote areas of the island. Because every temple is carefully looked after and thoughtfully decorated by its people, even the smaller temples can compete with renowned ones.
In addition to the big and small temples each house has a family temple and you will find countless little versions of a temple on street corners, Banyan trees etc. Sometimes, a simple offertory box is used.
Three delicious meals plus fruit, tea, and water are included daily. The highly appreciated organic food and delicious dishes, as well as the sharing of meals in the community, contribute to the overall wellbeing and contentment of guests. The tasty food is freshly and healthily prepared with herbs, salads, vegetables, and tropical fruits, partly from their own organic garden, where they harvest every day, and from the local market, where fresh produce is bought every morning.
The team prepares the meals with a lot of joy, mindfulness, and love. It is a synthesis of health aspects and enjoyment. They offer homemade yogurt and jam from tropical fruits, home-baked bread, and fresh fish, directly from the fishermen. You can choose from a Western or Ayurvedic breakfast. For lunch and dinner, they will treat you with delicious traditional Balinese, Thai, and Italian dishes.
You can order special coffees, cakes, and fresh juices from fruits, vegetables, and healing herbs. Mineral water, a variety of teas, Bali coffee, and fruits are included in the room price. Your meals can be served on your private terrace or in the restaurant, a Balinese Bale, by the pool and ocean. On request, they serve lactose and gluten-free food, as well as vegetarian and vegan food.
In case of food intolerances, meals will be adjusted. They also serve Ayurvedic food. As many of the guests asked about the delicious recipes of the Prana Veda kitchen, they decided to create a cookbook in 2015. It includes the vision of Prana Veda, the philosophy of life, and lots of tasty Balinese recipes.
Recently, the cookbook is also available as an English version and you can order the book directly. Parts of the fresh ingredients are harvested from the fruits and vegetable garden which was created using permaculture principles. In order to have as many organic ingredients as possible from their own garden, they are continuously working on its improvement.
The gardeners passionately take care that the flowers are blooming and the fruits and vegetables are thriving well. In the afternoons, the chef is harvesting fresh organic vegetables, herbs, and spices for dinner.
As an option, detox can be booked additionally with every retreat package.
The direct access and the calm ocean also invite you to stand-up paddling. Enjoy the sunrise on the board out on the ocean.
See the sunrise and watch the dolphins. You can go with the local fishermen and their traditional boats out on the open sea at dawn. Experience the magnificent spectacle of a sunrise over the sea. Take a unique view of Bali from a different perspective. In most cases, you can watch the cheerful play of the dolphins.
You can find or test your balance in a playful way in the garden of Prana Veda on your own slackline; not so easy.
It is an exciting experience to join one of the staff members to go to the local market at 6 a.m. and observe the vivid market life. The market awakes in the early morning hours at 4 a.m. and people can buy fresh fish, exotic fruits, spices, as well as Balinese sweets, flowers, and incense sticks for the offerings. A visit to the market is possible every day.
Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is situated in the northeast part of the island, near Kintamani. The ascent of the 1.717-meter high active volcano, whose last minor eruption was only in 2000, is a unique experience. You ascend for two hours in the cool of the night with torchlight on small trails towards the crater. The last meters of the ascent is quite steep.
On the summit, you will wait for sunrise while having a nice cup of coffee or tea and a small breakfast. And don’t miss out on a volcano-boiled egg! Enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding volcanic landscapes at dawn. On a clear day, you can even see the mountains of Java and Lombok. This brilliant outlook compensates for the strenuous ascent.
Prana Veda will be happy to arrange your trips to the volcano, temples, walks through the rice fields, diving, shopping, rafting, and a roundtrip of Bali to hidden magical places. Departure is usually at 10 a.m. after breakfast and you will be back around 6 p.m.
As a client, you will receive a consultation to assist you in creating space to reflect on your personal life situation and on your feelings. Prana Veda supports you on the path to recognizing old patterns, as well as guiding you towards your calling, possibly integrating various forms of energy work, change work, and breathing.
It is a flowing, soft whole-body massage with hand-pressed, warm coconut oil from their land, which makes the body soft and supple. It detoxifies and gives you renewed vitality and freshness. This massage includes Marma therapy, a scientific technique from southern India based around the vital-energy points of the human body, and can both create additional energy, as well as release blocked-up energy.
The treatment begins with a deep Ayurvedic whole body massage with warm oil and then the herbal heat compresses are applied with pressure point massage for activation and strokes for relaxation. This treatment helps to soothe and relax muscle tension, to mobilize stiff joints, and can heal other aches and pains in the organs.
It improves blood circulation and stimulates internal organ function. It can heal digestive disorders, dissolve emotional blockages, as well as boost the immune system. Prana Veda offers:
It is a unique form of Ayurveda whole-body massage developed by a student of the great yoga master, B.K.S. Iyengar, in Poona, India. The approach uses a combination of deep muscle work, footwork, and yoga stretch to open up and re-balance body and mind, simultaneously releasing blockages of energy flow.
In addition to oil, Calamus powder is used for its strong detoxifying effects as well as for purification and support of blood circulation. This treatment is given on a floor mat.
The oil pulling is an uncomplicated method for daily detoxification. It is especially beneficial for tooth and mouth hygiene. It is effective against bacteria and helps against bleeding gums and breath odor, strengthens loose teeth, reduces plaque, fights caries, and whitens the teeth. Traditionally, it is part of holistic therapy for a lot of different diseases, such as arthritis and migraine, etc.
The oil pulling is best done early morning before breakfast. Take one to two tablespoons of coconut oil and pull it for 10 to 15 minutes in your mouth and rinse it between your teeth. It can be used over a 1 to 2-week period as a treatment for detoxification and for stabilizing the immune system, or it can be integrated long term as part of your daily life.
The intake of coconut oil in the morning (before breakfast and brushing teeth) spends energy and detoxes the body from toxins, parasites, and impurities. Because coconut oil has a strong detoxing effect on the body, you should start with a small amount, e.g. one tablespoon in the first week, and then gradually increase (up to 6 tablespoons per day). Be attentive and listen to your body.
By the way, even one tablespoon of high-quality native coconut oil is sufficient to mobilize metabolism. You can also use other kinds of oil.
