Transcription

1 BALI YOGA RETREAT at The Shala Bali June 11-18th, 2017 with Andrea Russell Join me on a magical retreat to Ubud, Bali, a small island in Indonesia, known for its spiritual culture, temples and art. Cocooned amongst rice paddies and coconut palms, The Shala Bali is an oasis of peace, beauty and wellness. This retreat is designed to foster growth in Ayurveda, yoga and meditation practices while offering ample time to enjoy relaxing at the pool, visiting Balinese temples, markets and cultural sites. Each day begins with an hour long class devoted to meditation and mindfulness techniques to wake you up and ground you in the appreciation of the present moment. After breakfast, the daily 3 hour morning yoga classes are intended to go beyond general group classes you may experience back home by building progressively on Ayurvedic and yogic wisdom as well as anatomical, alignment and energetic themes throughout the week. The retreat size is intentionally kept small to allow for individual support. This week immersion will allow you to gain tools and insights to enrich your practice while fostering continued growth long after the retreat.
