The retreat runs from 27 September to 1 October 2027 at Soul Shine Resort in Ubud. Ubud is the inland town in central Bali known for its rice terraces, jungle and temples. It's greener and calmer than the beach towns in the south, which suits a week built around yoga.

The days follow a simple pattern. You do yoga in the morning, and a workshop or a second class later in the day. Time is left open to rest, write, swim or wander. Some outings are specific to Ubud and Balinese culture. The week is organised around Tilem, the new moon, which Balinese Hindus mark as a time for offerings and fresh starts. Expect sessions on reflection and setting goals for the season ahead, alongside the physical practice.

Candice Hennessey leads the retreat. She is a Registered Yoga Teacher and owns the Yoga Centric studio. Yoga Centric runs two retreats a year, some in the US and some abroad, so this is a regular part of what the studio does.

This retreat differs from a drop-in Bali yoga stay in a few ways. It runs as a group programme with one teacher, fixed dates and a set theme. You aren't choosing classes off a resort timetable. You practise with the same teacher and group all week.

Accommodation and meals are included, so once you arrive the main thing to organise is getting yourself to Ubud. Shared rooms are available. If you are travelling solo and don't mind a roommate, a shared room is the cheaper option.
