Bali Yoga Retreat Testimonials

The retreat has taught me to take life as it is. Live in the moment and the rest will follow. We write the story of our own life, believe in what you create.          Donna, mother.

I didn't realise just how much I needed to release and let go (until the purification ritual. Everything this week has helped me slow down, reflect, focus and find a new grounding to make positive changes, thankyou!  Adam, Sales Operation, luxury retail.

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. The same goes for Judy teaching the Pilates.
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. I hope I can take the peace and serenity into my life at home. 
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.

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 expereince. Thank you Sue, Judy and Claude for making it all possible.
