6 Day Wellness Escape with Hot Springs, Yoga & Balinese Culture in Bali

The retreat takes place at Indrayoga Retreats in the village of Sesandan, in the Tabanan regency of Bali, an area known for its working rice terraces and traditional village life. It's a genuinely local experience — the property is part of the Sesandan Heritage community, and guests can join in activities like making coconut oil the traditional way, crafting Hindu offerings, and visiting a local waterfall for a purification ritual. This is not a polished beach resort; it's a family-run retreat where you'll be welcomed into the rhythms of a Balinese household, with a resident dog named Moni and hosts Bodi and Agus who look after guests personally. The daily program is straightforward: a morning yoga session led by the retreat's teacher, Teddi, followed by breakfast, then a few hours of village activities or free time. The highlight for most is the included half-day trip to Watukaru temple and the natural hot springs, where you can soak in the warm public baths while surrounded by mountain views. Because the group is small — usually between three and twelve people — the experience feels flexible and personal. Yoga classes are geared toward beginners, so you don't need experience to join in. Teddi, the lead instructor, came to yoga after a stressful career in banking and teaches a light-hearted, accessible style of Hatha and Ashtanga. He's known for his jokes and for making people who've never done yoga feel at ease. Over the six days, you'll also get a one-hour massage, a cooking class, and the chance to join a Balinese cultural performance or ceremony. The pace is unhurried, and it's perfectly fine to skip everything and just read on your porch overlooking the garden. This retreat works well if you're coming alone — many guests are solo travelers — but couples and friends are equally welcome.
