Bali Yoga Retreat: 15 – 25 March 2015
Purify Body Mind & Soul With Hatha Yoga
Hatha Yoga, or the Yoga of Bodily Mastery, aims to purify and bring balance to body, mind and soul. On this retreat we will delve into the practices of asana, pranayama, pratyahara, mantra and meditation to refresh and rejuvenate on every level. Relax and de-stress in beautiful surroundings, indulge in spa treatments, and experience the rich spiritual culture of Bali.
In keeping with the theme of purification, the group will participate in a water purification ritual at one of Bali’s most famous temples, Tirta Empul. The retreat coincides with Nyepi or Balinese New Year – it is a day of quiet reflection and aimed at bringing balance with God, mankind and nature.
Your retreat begins on arrival in Bali – you will be met by our driver and transferred to Vilarisi Hotel, Legian for a one night stay. Enjoy sunset drinks and a welcome night dinner before heading to Lovina (north Bali) for four nights. The night before Nyepi we transfer to the 5 star surroundings of Floating Leaf Eco Retreat for four nights of luxury and indulgence. The final night will be in Legian with a two hour spa and dinner included.
Numbers will be strictly limited – BOOK NOW to ensure your place!

Your Yoga Instructor and retreat leader, Michele Hendarwin
Michele (Rakinanandaa) was introduced to yoga at the age of sixteen, and has studied Yoga with many different teachers, who each had their own unique approach to the practice of Yoga. She completed a 12 month Teacher Training Course with Friends in Yoga (FinY) Inc in 1995.
From 2000 Michele was an instructor and Course Coordinator of the FinY Teacher Training Course for a period of 10 years.
Her teaching is founded in the classical Hatha Yoga style, focusing on the development of inner well being through breathwork, postures (Asanas) and relaxation/meditation techniques. Michele is influenced by the teachings of Swami Anandakapila Saraswati (Dr Jonn Mumford).
In 1998 Michele founded the Golden Lotus Yoga School, and currently teaches a variety of classes in Perth, Western Australia, as well as conducting regular retreats to Bali, Indonesia.
Michele first travelled to Bali in the late 70’s, and after visiting Bali again in 2005, was inspired to conduct yoga and cultural retreats. Her vision is to share the Bali that lies beyond the popular tourist areas, and offer participants a variety of cultural experiences.
