Retreats

A Retreat Venue designed to Support Your Work.

Yama is a retreat space in West Bali, created for yoga teachers, facilitators, and conscious leaders who want to host meaningful retreats in a quiet, natural environment.

Built for Retreats

Host your retreat at Yama

Hosting a retreat is more than choosing a beautiful location. It is about flow, energy, timing, and feeling supported at every level. At Yama, we work closely with retreat leaders to create an experience that feels grounded, effortless, and aligned with the intention of each group.

As an experienced retreat venue in Bali, we take care of the space, the rhythm of the days, and the practical details — allowing you to focus fully on guiding your community.

Why Host at yama

Yama is not a hotel adapted for retreats. It was designed from the beginning as a retreat space.

What makes yama different:

  • A quiet location in West Bali, far from crowds and distractions
  • A team experienced in hosting international retreats
  • A natural setting that supports grounding, focus, and connection
  • A flow-oriented approach to schedules, meals, and shared spaces


Everything here exists to support the retreat experience — not to compete with it.

The Experience

From the moment your group arrives, the pace naturally slows. Days unfold with intention, supported by calm spaces, nourishing rhythms, and moments of integration in between practices.

Our role is to hold the container — ensuring that logistics, transitions, and daily flow feel seamless. This creates a sense of safety and ease, allowing deeper work, rest, and connection to emerge organically.

Yama offers the conditions for retreats that feel:

  • Grounded
  • Present
  • Nourishing
  • Meaningful

Space that Supports

Yama is shaped to support the retreat as a whole. Quiet rooms encourage deep rest and integration, while shared spaces invite daily rituals and moments of connection. The entire space is held by the presence of the sacred Balian River, whose flowing energy moves through the land and subtly carries into every corner of the retreat.

Surrounded by the raw nature of West Bali, this natural current creates a sense of grounding, clarity, and continuity — reminding guests to slow down, soften, and move in rhythm with the place itself.

Here, nature is not a backdrop — it is an active element of the retreat.

Why Balian

Located in West Bali, Yama offers a different side of Bali — slower, quieter, and deeply connected to nature. This location is ideal for retreats that require space, silence, and minimal external stimulation.

Being away from busy areas allows your group to fully disconnect, settle into the present moment, and experience Bali in a more authentic and grounded way.

Yama’s beautiful location, incredible staff, delicious food, and attention to detail are the reasons we choose to host our yoga teacher training here, year after year. There’s a calm spaciousness there that allows you to experience the more tranquil, peaceful side of Bali. Yama has become an extension of our yoga family and has been an incredible support in our success.

Marietta

Yama Balian is much more than the place where we have been hosting retreats for the past four years: for us, it is home. Thanks to its very special setting, it holds us, embraces us, and allows us to deepen naturally. And all of this is possible thanks to the local people who work there, with care and love that cannot be expressed, only experienced.

Magdalena

Hosting my retreats at Yama Balian for years has allowed me to truly experience its essence, and it remains one of the most special retreat homes I know in Bali. Yama carries a soft, grounding yin energy, surrounded by lush nature and the sacred Balian River, it invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect. What makes it truly exceptional is its people. The warm, genuine team, the thoughtful wellness experiences, and the nourishing food create a space that feels intentional, supportive, and deeply like home.
