21-Day Wellness Journey with Yoga, Spa & Cultural Immersion in Bali

Bali Green Retreat sits on a small hill in the village of Sesandan, Megati, in the Tabanan Regency — about two hours from the airport. The retreat is a fully equipped wellness center with its own spa, a swimming pool, and a yoga shala, all set in a tropical garden. This 21-day version of the retreat is their longest offering, which means you get real time to settle in, drop your usual pace, and let the place do its thing. There's no pressure to do anything, but there's plenty to do if you feel like it: daily yoga, cultural outings, spa treatments, or just reading in the garden.

The daily program includes a 90-minute morning yoga and meditation session, and a 90-minute afternoon session every other day. The rest of the time is yours. There are regular cultural activities — a Balinese cooking class, a waterfall purification visit, a village tour, rice terrace trekking, a coconut oil making workshop, an offering-making class, and a traditional dance performance. The local shaman comes by for a Hindu blessing. If you want to explore further, there are optional paid trips to places like Tanah Lot Temple, Tirta Empul, and Ubud.

Food is a big part of the experience. All meals are prepared by the in-house team, and you get a choice each day between a regular menu (with chicken, fish, or prawn), a vegetarian menu, or a detox menu. There's also a juice detox fasting program if you want to go deeper with cleansing. The chef can handle gluten-free, egg-free, and halal requests. The weekend review I read said the food is simple and fresh, with lots of tropical fruit.

The lead teacher, Tedy, brings a background in Ashtanga yoga and a style that's about coordinating breath and movement. He's known for being fun and supportive. The accommodation is in Balinese-style bungalows — simple but comfortable, with A/C, a desk, and a shower. The retreat is certified by CHSE (Cleanliness, Health, Safety, and Environmental Sustainability), which is a plus for peace of mind.
