The Journey
July 1 — Check In. Arrive at our private villa in Penestanan Kelod, rice fields and river at the doorstep. Unpack, relax, and settle into Bali’s calm rhythm. Take care of your own meals for this day.
July 2 — Water Blessing & Welcome Dinner. Breakfast & lunch provided. A morning Canang Sari workshop — hand-crafting the daily flower offerings seen across Bali — leads into Melukat, a traditional water-purification blessing at the temple. Your retreat commences with an opening ceremony and a welcome dinner grown largely from our own gardens.
July 3–7 — The Training, Five Days. Breakfast & lunch provided. Your journey begins as Instruction unfolds in an open-air shala beneath a banyan tree. July 7 closes with your leading fellow trainees in a 15 minute teaching demonstration.
July 8 — Demo Review, Exploration Day & Graduation Ceremony. Breakfast, lunch & dinner provided. Review of your teaching demo followed by an afternoon to explore Ubud — hike, bike, beach, or wander the markets — before we gather for a heartfelt Graduation & Closing Retreat Ceremony to honor your transformation!
July 9 — Check Out. Breakfast. Depart from the villa — OR stay a little longer with a full-day Optional Mountain Excursion: a jungle trek through clove and coffee plantations to hidden waterfalls, with a Balinese temple ritual along the way.
Optional Mountain Excursion: $178 (minimum 6 guests), booked directly with our tour partner.
Everything Is Taken Care Of
Stay — A private villa in Penestanan Kelod, just five minutes’ drive from the training shala.
Nourishment — Vegetarian breakfast and lunch included daily.
Dinner is on your own — the neighborhood is full of vegan and vegetarian spots.
Training — Your full Level 1 Instructor of Mindful Movement certification, taught in an open-air shala.
Massage — Optional Private Sarga Bodywork sessions are available. Please inquire to book.
Transportation — Pick-up available June 29–July 2 and return transport on July 9, to and from the local airport, either Sanur, or Ubud. Light transport provided daily during the Training to and from the villa to the training shala – or you can walk.
Villa space is intentionally kept intimate — only 10 guests in all. You’ll be sharing the villa grounds with geckos and other quiet jungle neighbors; nature is part of the experience.
