So, picture this,

Waking up to the soothing sound of the river gently flowing by, feeling the warmth of the sun as it rises, and embracing the day with a complete yoga practice is a perfect start to any day. It’s a moment to connect with the natural world and ourselves, setting the tone for a day filled with positive energy and self-discovery. The workshops that follow are an opportunity to delve deeper into your passions and to reignite that spark for life that may have dimmed over time. There’s no pressure, just a supportive environment where you can explore, learn, and grow. It’s a chance to hit the reset button, to find our groove again, and to connect with a community that shares your enthusiasm for life and personal development.

"Not your typical yoga and meditation retreat"

About our venue - Yama Balian

Our philosophy is a barefoot luxury. It is located in the beautiful and mystical town of Balian, right in front of Bali ́s sacred river mouth, and at a hearing distance of the ocean. Yama is immersed in a dense tropical jungle. It’s the perfect place for tuning in. This is the purpose of Yama. 

To help people connect, discover the tools that will allow this connection to happen and be maintained. A place where you come to learn balance, connect with nature, and share with others.

A temple to find your balance with community in nature,
a place for right living

Fresh fruits, tasty nuts, herbal teas and fresh coffee throughout the day as well as at breakfast.

For lunch and dinner, our chefs treat you to a varied buffet of culinary delights.
