The Retreat
According to ancient Hindu writings "Jati was where the first
Hindu priest and sacred white buffalo arrived in Bali from Java".
Since this time Jati Bagus is revered as a sacred place safe from the
outside world. This New Year's Eve join Sue and facilitators for a unique retreat experience. Using a combination of Sue and Rachel's extensive yoga retreat experience and Grant's visualisation programs and facilitation experience, this is sure to be a memorable retreat.The retreat will be held at the luxury Jati Bagus Resort located at the 30 mins north of Ubud. Bali's premier Health and Wellbeing Spa Retreat centre Jati Bagus is
set in 5 hectares of hillside gardens amongst lush tropical forests
in the mountains of Ubud, Bali. Each of the 8 spa villas is equipped with
private jacuzzi and spa treatment facilities. All retreat villas are exqusitivley furnished with great attention to detail, offering a quality blend of traditional Balinese and contemporary Asian styles. Each villa is generous in size providing a private sanctuary where you can enjoy uninterrupted views of mountains, valleys and lush tropical forest.
The earth here blossoms with indigenous fruits of papaya, bananas,
coconuts and mangoes as well as organic vegetables and herbs, many
of which are used in the spa treatments for medicinal healing as
well as for our freshly prepared spa cuisine. The villas and Superior rooms are well appointed and generous in size, some with separate massage room adjoining the villa. All the villas overlook the lush forest with a true sense of tranquility and space. A very quiet and nurturing atmosphere surrounds the resort and you feel totally immersed in nature.

Each day we meditate on a different aspects of our lives. You will experience a progressive journey of self discovery and exploration which is designed to bring you closer to your authentic self. This retreat is an opportunity to reflect and re-evaluate your life from a different perspective. The effects are often felt for months after the retreat has finished creating an opportunity for a life changing experience. The yoga part of the program begins with an easy sequence of flowing postures to strengthen the body, integrating some core strength and balancing postures, and working with the breath. The afternoons are directed towards a restorative and relaxation practice, often incorporating a Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation) practice. Yoga classes are open to all levels. Personal attention with adjustments and modifications are given to beginners or participants with special needs.

Bali Yoga Retreat Testimonials
The perfect way to end the year and to begin another. Pure bliss! Yoga was fantatstic, Meditation divine, the space ideal. An inspirational way to spend 6 days. The quality of the teaching is top class and inspiring. The two teachers explained things extremely well, and were generous with their time and knowledge. The group was diverse in all ways, yet I felt part of a special family. Overall I now feel refreshed and renewed and cannot think of a better way to have seen in the new year. Mel, Consultant, Australia
This was a great opportunity to clean up what I want and what I want to be and what I want to leave behind. These are very important things in my life to be "change". This yoga retreat was a beautiful experience. Chie Imaisumi, Japan The retreat had emotionally a much bigger impact on me than expected. Sue and Rachel are fantastic teachers! The yoga and meditation was great. Kathleen, Belgium I was able to re-centre myself, set my priorities and let go of painful memories. Feel I am lighter in weight and feel positive, peaceful and a light glowing inside my heart. To be repeated anytime! Carolina, Switzerland. The
best thing about the yoga which was taught by Sue was the depth of
explaining of instruction of all asanas and that she was willing and
able (thanks to her extensive training and experience) to go to for
each participant. She is such a very giving lady.
Terry Simpson, Perth, Australia
The Bali Yoga Retreat has been a
wonderful opportunity to escape the stresses of our daily lives. The
daily practice in the midst of the beauty and sounds of the forest
prepared us and opened our hearts and minds. In this state we fully
appreciated the Balinese spiritual rituals.
Carolyn Bowra, Sydney, Australia
I came to
the Bali retreat without expectations or knowledge about yoga retreats.
This was the first I had been on. From day one everyone was extremely
friendly and the accommodation was amazing. More than I ever expected.
I came with less yoga experience than the others but I didn't feel that
this hindered me in any way once the classes began. Sue explained
things and assisted with adjustments at every level and I think this
really helped me grow in my yoga practice. I liked how Pilates
complimented the yoga. I felt a much greater spiritual component to the
retreat than expected. it was fantastic to learn and experience some of
the Balinese culture. I had a fantastic and wonderful experience here
and I would definitely recommend it to others.
Cara Caulkins, USA
It was pure bliss! The teachers were very
professional and experienced. The setting and services was five star
standard.
Anne Marie, Sydney, Australia
The location
itself was paradise, the rituals were beautiful and accommodation was
exquisite. The service was perfect. Quiet, gentle, extremely nice. The
food was delicious and well presented. The yoga space was outstanding. The
group was precious.
Helene Sitbon, France
The retreat
was an experience exceeding my expectations. The resort is paradise
with all the mod cons. The staff are incredibly helpful, friendly,
quiet and efficient. From the welcome drink to the beautiful closing
dinner, all meals and service was excellent. As a novice to yoga, the
classes were well paced and well instructed yet challenging enough for
me to come away feeling inspired to continue and feel invigorated. I've
totally and completely soaked up the serenity and beauty of this place
and together with the group activities I feel like I've shared a
special experience. Thank you all for making it all
possible.
Leeanne Ricci, Australia
