"The retreat was a much needed opportunity to disconnect from the worries of the world and to reconnect with a gentler, kinder spirit - life saving!"
Bali Retreat 2025 participant
You are invited to join me on retreat in Bali in 2026.
Together we will physically practice yoga in accessible and adaptable ways, as well as inquire gently into yoga's philosophical foundations..
You will have time and space to rest in solitude or in the company of others whilst staying with a local Balinese artist and his family.
"I enjoyed how the days were structured, there was room for everything, it wasn't crowded or rushed".
Santra Putra Guesthouse
Embrace pause and experience Balinese reverence and culture in the lush tropical gardens of Santra Putra Guesthouse. Located on the edge of rice fields in a pedestrian only area of Penestanan, Santra Putra is located on the outskirts of Ubud, away from the hustle and bustle, with easy access to local warungs (restaurants) and a walk or taxi ride into town.
"The accommodation at Santra Putra was spacious and beautiful, you couldn't ask for anything better. Perfect!"

Be surrounded by nature, hosted in comfort and immersed in local custom as you observe daily offerings performed by our Balinese host family and staff. You will have a spacious fan cooled deluxe queen room to yourself, complete with private verandah, kitchenette and seating area for rest and reflection. Your private ensuite bathroom is semi outdoor embracing the natural beauty of tropical Bali.
If you would prefer an alternative style of accomodation, you have the option to stay offsite in a nearby resort, joining us each day for practices, group breakfast and activities. I am happy to assist you with suggestions.
I have been visiting Penestanan for over 14 years and would love to share this beautiful place with you.
About Nicole
I am yoga teacher, Social Worker and parent who has been practicing yoga for over 25 years. I have spent the past 8 years teaching accessible and adaptable practices for populations of people not often represented in mainstream yoga settings. I facilitate integrated welcoming classes that include accessible yoga asana (movement), pranayama (breath), meditation (pause) and rest for emotional resilience and nervous system regulation. Expect to see a chair as a prop and to move in ways that are suitable for you. My approach is to teach people, not poses (to quote my teacher Mary Richards), and to support each person to gradually and gently be in their body through an accessible practice of yoga that is offered by invitation and guided by student choice.

Is this retreat for me?
This retreat is for anyone interested in yoga and curious in exploring more than physical asana. Whilst it is recommended that you have attended a yoga class before, you don’t need to be able to touch your toes or own expensive yoga pants.
I will work with you, adapting practices to suit your needs. I will also encourage you to know your boundaries, and to be aware of pausing to keep yourself safe.
If you would like to connect and find out more, please reach out, I'm happy to assist in any way I can.
