Rest In The Beat - Dance Retreat 2025

Travel to the paradise island of Bali where we will immerse ourselves in conscious dance, yoga, meditation, and massage.

Dance | Yoga | Meditation | Massage | Swimming | Food | Day Trips And More!

A week of delicious movement exploration, into what it is to let go, to stop pushing and pulling and experience the ecstasy of surrendering to your own rhythm.

Through intuitive yoga we approach the body with tender yet determined inquiry, opening, relaxing, and releasing into physical freedom. As our attention is opened into our physical body we explore the Open Floor Movement Practice as it guides us through the resources for healthy living.

Ecstatic Dance offers great release and depth together with connection and the celebration of life, the perfect practice for some of our evenings.

Add the odd morning dance, meditation and yoga, a luscious massage in the spa, a swim in the pool, dining in at the centre or out at the many local restaurants, active meditations, Kirtan, cultural excursions and more!

Taking the time away from daily life we focus in on our practice with lots of rest, joy and laughter, nourished with good food and surrounded by good people. Set in the idyllic grounds of a retreat centre in the heart of Bali the air is rich with spiritual connection and self reflection.

There will be time for solitude as well as group activities, shopping and further pampering.

Conscious dance reveals so much about how and who we are in the moment, learning to dance with the ups and downs of each moment makes for a happy love filled life.

Laura brings her expertise in yoga and meditation to our retreat to balance and support the yang of our dance. Laura can be found teaching in a few schools across Fremantle, specialising in yin, myofascial yin, hatha and restorative but is well versed in vinyasa, pre & post natal, chair yoga and breathwork. Laura has a love for life attitude that is nurturing and cheeky and loves a good dance!

A CLOSER LOOK

Weaving movement with mindfulness and nature, this retreat is dedicated to the wisdom of the body, an opportunity to 'sync' into your dance, finding your rhythm and resting in its beat.
Each day will start with a mindfulness based meditation circle. Morning yoga will be a gentle flow to awaken the body and evening sessions will offer a slow paced yin class with restorative elements.
The Open Floor Movement Practice is a lively, sweaty, full-on dance inquiry, focusing on embodiment and resourcing ourselves in life.
Ecstatic Dance takes you on a deep dance journey, sometimes wild, some times tender and always amazing!
Kirtan is chanting and singing the heart out in community, we will gather and unite our voices to uplift the mind, open the heart and bring inner peace.
Finally, we will be basking in an amazing natural setting and will be taking some of the practices into nature, immersing in the elements.
