Spend a truly relaxing holiday with us in tropical beachside Bali, taking your practice to the water with daily SUP Yoga classes, enjoying rejuvenating pranayama, meditation, sunset and sunrise beach yoga and connecting with an open hearted group of ocean-loving yogis and yoginis.
In our SUP Yoga classes, you swap your mat for a board, and a sweaty studio for glassy seas. You perform asanas against a blissful ocean backdrop, challenging your core and balance and enhancing your yoga practice. We end the class in savasana, with nothing but a cool ocean breeze and the sound of the water lapping against your board to lull you into deep relaxation.
The retreat also includes daily yoga classes, pranayama and meditation sessions, traditional Balinese massage, SUP wave riding or sea cruise, a SUP lagoon excursion and a SUP Workshop tailored to take your SUP Yoga practice to the next level. Step out of your comfort zone and surprise yourself on the board!
