6-Day Bali Wellness Escape: Yoga, Spa & Hindu Blessing

Bali Green Retreat is more than just a place to stay; it's a fully equipped wellness center in the middle of a village. The property sits on a small hill surrounded by tropical gardens, and the sound of the jungle is your soundtrack. The daily schedule is designed to give you plenty of structure if you want it, but with the freedom to skip anything and just relax.

Mornings start with a fresh juice, followed by a 90-minute vinyasa or hatha class with meditation, led by the resident instructors. After a leisurely Balinese breakfast, the rest of the late morning is yours for what they call 'Me Time'—swimming, reading in the garden, or booking an extra treatment at the spa. Lunch is another full meal, and then the afternoon brings your daily one-hour spa treatment (included in the price), with options like Balinese massage, body scrubs, and facials. On alternate days—Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday—there's also a 90-minute afternoon yoga session. On the other days, you join a cultural activity.

The cultural program is a real highlight and a chance to see village life up close. Activities rotate and include a waterfall purification ceremony, a guided walk through the village, a trip to the beach, trekking through the rice paddies, a natural coconut oil making workshop, a Balinese Hindu offering making class, and a traditional dance performance. On one day of your stay, you'll also visit a local shaman for a Hindu blessing, a unique and moving experience that many guests talk about afterwards.

The lead instructor, Tedy (also called Teddi), came to yoga through cycling and injury prevention. He trained in Ashtanga yoga and has studied spiritual practices at local ashrams. His teaching style is described as fun and joyful, with an emphasis on connecting movement, breath, and body. Whether you're a complete beginner or have been practicing for years, the retreat aims to make you feel looked after in a family atmosphere.
