Wellness Escape: 15-Day Deep Healing & Yoga Retreat in Bali

The retreat takes place in a family-run center in Sesandan Megati, a village about 30 minutes from Tabanan and two hours from the airport. The land has been in the family for over a decade, starting with a single cottage and growing from there. You are surrounded by rice terraces and jungle sounds, and a black-sand beach is a short drive away where guests go for beach yoga on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

A typical day starts with morning yoga or meditation, followed by a big breakfast. Mornings might include a cultural activity or a workshop, then lunch, and then open afternoons. Evening sessions rotate between yin yoga, sound healing, tai chi, and ceremonies. There's no pressure to attend everything, and plenty of guests use the free time for a massage, a walk through the rice fields, or a nap.

The teaching team includes Krishna, who leads healing yoga and meditation with mantra chanting; Swandewi, who specializes in traditional Balinese Watukaru yoga and has over 10 years of experience; and Adi, who has practiced yoga therapy, tai chi, and qi gong for over two decades. Nyoman brings sound healing bowls to her sessions. The style is gentle and grounded, with an emphasis on slow movement and breath rather than athletic poses.

The retreat includes a sound healing bowl ceremony, a visit to a Balinese shaman, and a water purification ceremony. You'll also get a three-hour spa massage. There's an optional excursion to a nearby beach, and the staff can organize day trips to Tanah Lot or other places in Bali if you want to explore more. Airport pickup is included in the package.
