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.

Then there is the in house spa with a lengthy list of pampering massages and treatments, we advise booking lots!
