4-Day Balinese Wellness Yoga & Meditation Retreat

This is a small, intimate yoga and meditation retreat run by Annelise, a French woman who has lived in Bali for 20 years and was initiated into Balinese wisdom by three healers. Set in a peaceful villa in Canggu, the retreat is limited to just four guests, which keeps everything personal and tailored. Over four days, you'll do six yoga classes, four guided meditations focused on self-love, and two wisdom workshops, all designed around the Balinese five elements.

Days start with yoga in a shala overlooking the garden, followed by a healthy breakfast. Afternoons are mostly free to swim in the long pool, walk to the beach, or explore Canggu's cafés and restaurants. One day includes an excursion to a sacred spot for a Balinese purification ritual — a highlight for past guests. The vibe is calm, spiritual, and very homely, with Annelise and her husband Benoit hosting.

This is not a fitness bootcamp or a luxury resort experience. It’s a gentle, heart-focused retreat for anyone wanting to slow down, learn about Balinese spirituality, and reconnect with themselves. If you're new to meditation or yoga, you'll be well looked after — Annelise is praised for being a perfect guide for beginners.
