Bali Yoga Retreat
With Gina Macauley
Sunday June 24th, 2018 - Saturday June 30th, 2018.
Information Session Friday February 9th 6pm. Email gina@yogahara.com.au to come along, or click here.
I would love for you to join me for a nourishing retreat in gorgeous Ubud, Bali. Bali is rich in culture and history and Ubud is it's centre of peace and tranquility. The food is simply amazing, nourishing and plentiful. You can indulge in a massage or body treatment at any number of spas. There are rice paddy walks, and cooking classes, markets and temples to get lost in. The week will be a lovely balance of yoga and time to explore.
A retreat is a wonderful way to deepen your Yoga practice and this retreat will be a great opportunity to explore the other joys of Yoga that are only just touched upon in a class environment. You will be able to immerse yourself in the beauty and energy of the environment and the practice.
This retreat is open to all levels of practitioners.

About Travel to Bali
To enter Indonesia your passport must be valid for 6 months from the day of arrival. The Indonesian Government allows visa-free short visits (30 days) for Australians travelling to Indonesia. For more information on Visas or longer stays or for general information on travel to Indonesia please visit the Smart Traveller website. There are often travel alerts for Bali, so please check on this.
You will be flying into Denpasar on Bali and Ubud is about a 90 minute drive from the airport. There will be someone waiting for you at the airport with a sign to take you directly to Dragonfly. A direct flight is about 6 hours. Jetstar has a direct flight to Bali leaving at 9.15am and arriving at 1.15pm (very civilised at both ends). Non direct flights are longer and sometimes cheaper.
The currency is Indonesian Rupiah and you can exchange money at the airport in Australia or Denpasar (which is cheaper) when you arrive. I usually get a little bit in Australia just so I have some when I arrive and get the rest when I get to Denpasar.
I strongly recommend having full travel insurance. This came in very handy for me a couple of years ago when a retreat I was attending was cancelled due to the volcano ash preventing us getting into Bali. The retreat centre will not refund our money based on us not being able to get there. Please have travel insurance.
Cancelation Policy
Your deposit is non refundable. If you cancel before April 4th, 2018 we can refund the fee less $300 deposit. If you cancel after April 4th, 2108 a refund may only available if your space can be filled from the waiting list.
