Oceanfront Yoga & Freediving Reset Retreat in East Sumbawa, Indonesia

The daily schedule at Ocean Mantra Village is structured but spacious. Mornings begin with the Sunrise Theater — silence and tea as the sun comes up over the ocean — followed by a meditation session and an energizing yoga class. Mid-mornings and early afternoons are given over to underwater meditation, where you're guided through freediving dives by certified instructors. Evenings wind down with restorative yoga, evening meditation, and then the Night Pool Magic: floating in the pool while underwater music plays.

The retreat offers three modes of participation. 'Move & Rhythm' is for guests who want to follow the full daily schedule. 'Silence & Depth' is for those who want a deeper reset, including a full digital detox and a personal practice of silence. 'Eat & Sleep' is for guests who are burnt out and just need rest, ocean watching, and quiet meals. You're free to move between these modes depending on your energy.

What makes this retreat different is the underwater meditation practice. It's not just snorkeling or diving — it's a mindful approach to freediving that combines breathwork, relaxation, and somatic awareness to help you find ease underwater. The pool has a unique underwater acoustic system, and the bay below is calm and swimmable all year round, protected by its shape and three surrounding beaches.

The instructors are Anke, an AIDA Freediving Instructor and certified yoga and breathwork teacher, and Angie, a 700-hour RYT yoga teacher with nearly a decade of experience. Anke has taught across Indonesia, the Maldives, Thailand, and Egypt, while Angie has trained in India, Nepal, Bali, and Portugal. Together they lead all the yoga, meditation, and underwater sessions, so the teaching is consistent and personal.
