Iyengar Yoga Retreat in Bali October’24

Dear yogi friends!

Following wonderful feedback received from our first Yoga retreat in Bali, we are planning the next event in October 2024, at the same location near Ubud.

The place is ideal for a yoga retreat. Suarapura Resort and SPA is situated near Ubud in Central Bali and overlooks the hill with a panoramic view of the rice fields. In good weather, you can admire the volcano.

Below the hills are the holy springs, whose water purifies the body and mind and fills you with new energy. It is a sacred place for the Balinese that few tourists know about.

Tasty cuisine and comfortable rooms in a Japanese-style hotel in the middle of Bali… I would like to share this unique moment and place with you!

Current students of the studio, as well as alumni, are more than welcome to join us for this unique experience. Don’t hesitate to talk about it to those around you!

If you are looking for calm, serenity, clean air, and deeper yoga practice, join us in October (exact dates will be confirmed shortly)

Testimonials from previous retreat

“ As a 45-year-old woman with three years of regular yoga practice under my belt, attending Olga’s yoga retreat in Bali was a transformative experience. Olga, my trusted teacher, led the sessions with an unparalleled level of expertise, delivering precise instructions and providing individualized adjustments that catered to each participant’s unique needs. Her guidance was instrumental in deepening our practice and understanding of yoga.

Nestled amidst the breathtaking hills and serene rice paddies of Ubud, the hotel provided an ideal environment for introspection and rejuvenation. The comfortable accommodations complemented the spiritually enriching atmosphere, while the delicious food nourished both body and soul.

The retreat proved to be both spiritually nourishing and physically beneficial. The daily sessions not only enhanced my yoga practice but also fostered a deeper connection between mind, body, and spirit.

Looking ahead, this retreat has immensely enriched my future yoga practice and encouraged me to delve deeper into various aspects of yoga

“ Olga took such excellent care of us all. She spent time alone every day tweaking her programme so that each one of us knew that we were getting exactly the yoga we needed. The daily practice was intense, but it never felt like too much. I came away from the week feeling refreshed and transformed.

The setting of the hotel and yoga shala was so peaceful, perched above the rice terraces. Various temples were nearby where we could experience the water purification rituals. Olga had a Balinese traditional healer come for a special session with us. It was a week for both mind and body.

“ I really enjoyed the yoga retreat in Bali. The location was wonderful (hotel, surroundings and yoga shala). I enjoyed the daily rythm of early morning session, free time by the pool or visiting, followed by a late afternoon session. Olga is a wonderful teacher, whose clear and precise instructions helped me deepen and improve my practice. A great experience!

Mary from Paris

“ First of course the lessons. I really liked the quality of the lessons as usual and the way Olga gave lessons at adaptable levels. Also the fact that Olga takse the time to correct each one, I find it a great luxury for the students.

Then of course: the company. I really liked our diverse group, whose coherence was created throughout the course.

Finally, the place was truly sublime, perfectly suited to this type of workshop.
So for me it was really a very unique experience due to the exclusivity of the classes and the location.
Resulting in more calm more serenity more clarity. My only regret is having missed the first two days.
