An epic 11 day once-in-a-lifetime yogic journey in to the magic and mystery of Indonesia.
LOCATION | BALI + UBUD
We begin our journey in Ubud, Bali’s yoga home and creative island hub. This bustling and beautiful town is just a few moments walk away from our home for the first four days; the beautiful eco-boutique Dragonfly Village. Dragonfly's gorgeous cottages are antique teak houses from Java, brought over and lovingly restored. They are surrounded by lush gardens, streams and natural pools, set amongst tranquil vibrant paddy fields, with a panoramic skyline of dramatic and sacred distant volcano, Mt Agung. Surrounded by dragonflies by day and and fairy-like fireflies filling the air at night - this enchanting place is straight out of a fantasy tale.
Whilst in Ubud we’ll visit a local spiritual healer, some of Bali’s incredible temples and tropical, beautiful nature at it’s finest… You'll also have time to explore the delights of Ubud at your leisure, where you’ll find plenty of opportunity to shop for the islands unique handicrafts and local art. Or get a crazy-good Balinese massage and just hang in a hammock, dip in the salt water pool and watch the sunset from your balcony.

LOCATION | GILI MENO
Next we spend an afternoon at sea as we speed boat to Gili Meno, the smallest of the show-stopping Gili Islands. The Gilis are an archipelago of three islands, close to the larger island of Lombok. These tiny islands are beyond stunning. With no cars on any of the Gilis, transport is solely by horse and cart, boat, or foot. And by which, it will take you a mere 1.5hrs to walk around Meno. Our home will be ‘Mao Meno’, a beautifully hand-crafted eco-retreat at the heart of the island, built entirely from reclaimed and natural materials. Bathed in nature, this is a unique and deeply peaceful slice of island paradise.
Alongside the juicy yoga flows and delicious tropical feasts, we invite you to bask in the sunshine, swim the crystal coral reefs with the local turtles, or perhaps take a day trip to visit Lombok’s waterfalls. And if that's all too much... Just wander this tiny, perfect paradise under the boughs of the palm trees. This is the epitome of a desert island dream, we guarantee you won’t want to leave.
This experience will open your heart and awaken your spirit. Join us.
YOGA | STEFFY WHITE
