Location

Bali, Indonesia

Tabanan Regency, located in the western part of Bali, Indonesia, is a lush and culturally rich area known for its scenic landscapes and traditional Balinese lifestyle. The regency is home to the iconic Tanah Lot Temple, perched on a dramatic rock formation in the sea, which is one of Bali's most photographed and spiritually significant sites. Tabanan offers a more serene and authentic experience compared to the island's more tourist-heavy areas, with its sweeping rice terraces, particularly in Jatiluwih, a UNESCO World Heritage site, verdant mountains, and long stretches of black sand beaches. The area is also a center for organic agriculture and offers a range of outdoor activities, including trekking and bird watching, making it a haven for nature lovers and those seeking a deeper connection with Bali's natural beauty and cultural heritage.

Overlooking the sacred Balian River, known for its serene wellness and healing traditions, Yama Balian Resort offers a unique experience of barefoot luxury, making it an ideal starting point for an unforgettable journey in Bali. The resort is distinguished by its seamless, attentive service and a deep appreciation for the natural world, fostering both reflection and exploration of Bali's lesser-known west coast. Despite being on the same island as the bustling areas of Canggu, Kuta, and Uluwatu, Balian Beach offers a tranquil escape, often becoming a cherished surf and wellness retreat for many visitors. Yama Balian stands out with its sophisticated culinary offerings designed to nourish the mind, body, and soul, aligning with Bali's reputation as a hub for conscious nutrition. The resort features 10 elegantly designed rooms that blend Mediterranean style with Balinese touches, all situated along a stunning garden that slopes gently down towards the river, providing spectacular views. Each room, complete with an open-air shower and a private terrace with a daybed, offers a perfect blend of privacy and connection to the outdoors, catering to travelers seeking both comfort and an authentic Balinese adventure.

It was such a special experience and I took so much away from it. It was so great to connect with so many wonderful and brilliant women on this journey of healing and self discovery, in majestic Bali. The program is fantastic and I have so many take aways from it including yoga nidra, journaling, yoga and compassionate inquiry. I am so excited for the next one

A truly gentle and nourishing experience on every level! Highly recommend.

Rachel, Australia

I found the retreat mind blowing. Such a beautiful nurturing and safe group. A truly life changing, magical experience. I am eternally grateful.

Mary, Australia

My experience at the Balian retreat was delightful, improving my overall wellbeing in an enjoyable and wholistic way, whilst feeling like I had a holiday. The accommodation was perfect with a modern luxurious style that fitted the peaceful environment. The location, 5 minutes walk from the beach and accessible to the river. Stina the yoga teacher was fabulous. Danni and Mark ran a well rounded program where I felt supported to participate or not to participate. The time seemed to go quickly but not rushed with a balance of activities and free time. The food was amazing. So happy that I was fortunate enough to be able to undertake this experience and have come away with some personal insights that will certainly assist my wellbeing on going and have met some really special souls along the way. Highly recommend.

Lyndal, Australia

What a beautiful, caring, nourishing week away in Bali with a great group of people and Danni and Mark all to ourselves to hear their wisdom, their stories, their experiences and receive their special guidance and care. Can highly recommend for anyone who wants to dig deep and work on some healing in a very gentle and safe space.

Kylie, United States

What a beautiful gift it is to truly nurture and nourish in nature. I found myself immersed into the dreaminess that is Bali instantly on this retreat! By practicing movement, breathwork, meditation and leaning into myself deeply I was able to explore my intentions and become fully present while surrounded by loving, supportive, respectful, teachers and peers

Kim, United Staes

I am so glad I traveled from the other side of the globe to experience this retreat. The vibe of the clients you attract is as genuine and compassionate as you are and it made the experience magical. The retreat space and menu was out of this world. I am leaving with amazing tools added to my toolbox.

Kristy, United States

This retreat was such an amazingly restorative and healing experience. The accommodation, location and food are incredible. The other participants were all like minded - with very similar intentions to myself. It was a safe place to explore emotions with the guidance of an experienced and compassionate team.

Dorani, Australia

The retreat was amazing, a real privilege. I wish I could go every year to rest, realign and reset. I left feeling so deeply nourished - in body, mind and spirit. The food was abundant, nutritious and delicious and I loved each and every meal. I learned so much from the yoga and deepened my practice. I have more clarity on my path forward and more tools and confidence to guide me. The group was full of beautiful souls who I now feel so blessed to be connected with. Can’t thank you enough Danni for a truly enlightening experience xo

Nicole, Australia

Hi Danni - so hard to encapsulate the experience in a few words but I'll start with "absolutely awesome". I love the location in Balian which felt like the "real" Bali, the accomodation at Yama, the food, wow the food, the staff at Yama who looked after so well and most importantly the connection amongst the group as we shared the experience. The trip to Budi's home and the chance to hear some of the history and philosophy of the Balinese culture I just loved. Such a great experience.
