6 Day Sound Healing, Yoga & Hindu Purification in Bali's Rice Fields

The retreat center sits right in the middle of the village, so you're living alongside the local community rather than in a resort bubble. The property has a yoga shala deck overlooking the garden, a small restaurant, and a handful of bungalows built in traditional Balinese style. There's a small river running through the property and rice fields on every side. The pace is unhurried, and the schedule is flexible—you can join as much or as little as you like.

Morning yoga is led by Teddi, a former banker who left finance to teach Ashtanga and Hatha. His classes are beginner-friendly and light-hearted, with plenty of jokes. After breakfast, there's usually a cultural activity: making coconut oil over a fire, learning to create Hindu offerings from palm leaves, or a guided walk through the rice terraces. Afternoons might be a trip to a nearby waterfall for a natural purification, a visit to a local shaman (optional), or a Balinese music session.

The week includes one session of Hindu purification (melukat) and one sound healing session—both arranged locally. The purification happens at a temple or spring nearby, and the sound healing uses singing bowls in the yoga space. There's also a cooking class where you make your own dinner with the family, and a complimentary one-hour Balinese massage. Village excursions and transport during the retreat are included, and you can join a nature hike with a guide at no extra cost.

The people who stay here tend to be solo travelers—women and men—looking for a calm, authentic retreat rather than a luxury wellness resort. The host family is known for their hospitality, and guests often walk away feeling they've made friends. The village is quiet and simple, with no nightlife or big tourist draws, which is exactly what most guests want. If you're after photos of perfect rice terraces without the selfie sticks, this is the spot.
