7 Day Cleanse, Release & Renew: Sauna & Juice Detox Journey, Bali

The retreat starts the moment you arrive: after settling into your room at Maha Retreats, you'll have your first Balinese healing massage to ease the travel tension and shift into a slower pace. From there, the days follow a gentle rhythm rather than a fixed itinerary. Mornings typically begin with a 90-minute Balinese yoga and meditation class, guided by local instructors like Ayu or Ketut, who teach Hatha, Vinyasa, and the traditional Balinese Watukaru Yoga. The classes are beginner-friendly and adaptable, so you won't feel left behind if you're new to yoga. Afterward, you'll have a wholesome vegetarian or vegan meal, or a fresh juice if you're following the detox program. Afternoons are often given over to cultural activities—a Balinese cooking class, traditional painting, offering-making, or a trip to a local waterfall or rice terrace. A one-hour Balinese massage is included every day, which becomes a grounding ritual of care, helping your body process both the travel and the emotional work of the week.

What makes this retreat different from a standard Bali detox holiday is the depth of its emotional focus. The signature Cleanse, Release, Forgive Sauna Journey, limited to six guests, is an intimate two-hour ceremony combining heat and steam with breathwork, Tibetan singing bowls, mantra humming, Light Language song, simple forgiveness movements, poetry, and journaling. It's not a therapy session where you're pushed to break down; you're invited to reflect on what feels unresolved and acknowledge it without judgment. If the sauna isn't for you, you can experience the ceremony from a comfortable chair outside the heated space. There's also a two-hour Balinese Herbalism Workshop where you'll learn about local medicinal plants and how they've been used for generations, and a group Tai Chi or Qigong session with a master that complements the slower, more reflective practices.

The team is a big part of what holds the retreat together. Jelila, a healer and sound artist with over 30 years of experience, leads the sauna journey and has worked at places like Yoga Barn and The Four Seasons in Bali. Ayu, a local yoga teacher, brings warmth and a deep connection to Balinese tradition, having grown up in a village surrounded by rice paddies. Ketut, a Watukaru Yoga and Tai Chi master, adds an authentic, grounded presence. The two-venue setup is also practical: you get the privacy and comfort of Maha Retreats for sleeping and downtime, and the dedicated healing space of Green Point Retreats for classes and workshops, with free transport between them included throughout the day. The whole week is designed to be flexible—activities are optional, and you're encouraged to rest by the pool whenever you need a break. It's a retreat for anyone who feels tired, emotionally weighed down, or just needs permission to stop doing and start being.
