The day structure is steady: 6:30am optional silent sunrise meditation, 9:00am morning yoga for 90 minutes, 10:30am breakfast, then free time or an excursion from 11:30am. Dinner is at 5:30pm and the evening session starts at 6:30pm. Day 1 is arrival only — check-in at 4:00pm, dinner at 5:30pm, welcome circle and intention setting at 6:45pm. Day 6 finishes with an 8:00am yoga class, 9:00am breakfast and 10:00am check-out.

The evening programme is what separates this from other yoga weeks on the Bukit. Rather than repeating the same class each night, the five evenings run yin yoga and reiki, a cacao ceremony, sound healing with a guest teacher using singing bowls and gongs, and a workshop with a local Balinese teacher. The listing also mentions a shamanic journey to recover lost energy and a breathwork session among the specialty sessions.

Kylie Swenson leads. She has 15 years of teaching behind her and came to yoga after major back surgery at 14 left her with chronic pain. Her certifications include a 200-hour teacher training with Corepower Yoga (2012), a 300-hour training at the School of Yoga Institute in Bali (2015), a 50-hour aerial yoga qualification from Trilogy Sanctuary (2017), Usui Holy Fire III Reiki (2022), a Pilates Reformer course with LiveMetta (2023) and a transformational breathwork teacher certification with Shawna Rogers (2025). She teaches to mixed levels and the listing says her classes suit complete beginners as well as experienced practitioners.

Salty Prana itself is secluded from central Uluwatu but close to the southern coast beaches. There are two shalas: a 180m² rooftop shala with ocean views and an 85m² indoor air-conditioned one. Mats, blocks, straps, bolsters and blankets are provided. On site there is a pool, a 16-person sauna, an ice bath, a steam room, a spa with massage and facial treatment rooms, a restaurant and a coffee house. Greenbowl Beach, where you can see local monkeys, is a short drive away, as are surf spots and restaurants.

The airport run is straightforward: Ngurah Rai International (DPS) is about 12km and 30 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic. Transfers are not included but can be arranged through the venue for an additional charge, or you can book a private driver, use Grab or Gojek, or take a fixed-rate taxi from the airport desk.
