Bali Yoga & Culture Immersion: Watukaru Tradition in a Local Village

The retreat is based at Balitrees, the yoga center of the Sesandan Megati village, a cluster of family-run guesthouses and homestays near Mount Watukaru. Your hosts are local villagers, including Dewi, who manages Balitrees and teaches the yoga, and Gede Arya, a ninth-generation disciple of the Perguruan Seruling Dewata tradition, which preserves Watukaru Yoga, Balinese meditation, Tai Chi, and Pencak Silat martial arts. The yoga itself is old: legend says 13 Indian yogis came to Mount Watukaru thousands of years ago, and out of their combined practice created what's now called Balinese Watukaru Yoga, with its strong focus on meditation and inner energy flow.
