What You’ll Experience in Bali

Bali is a world-renowned yogi paradise. But, for The Travel Yogi, it’s just paradise. Brimming with culture, mysticism, magic, and nature, this yoga adventure is for the beach-loving yogi seeking backroads biking, ocean vibes, and cultural exploration. We don’t care how much you’ve practiced breath of fire, Bali’s beauty will truly take your yogic breath away. Learn more about our Bali yoga retreat.

How You’ll Experience Bali

Our Bali yoga retreat adventure is a journey filled with wonder. We will take you off the mat to experience the rich and luxurious beauty of Bali—from its people to its many sacred temples. You’ll explore by bike, wave, tastebuds, and foot across the island, imbibing in the ancient and magical energies. Dine with locals, rejuvenate in the healing waters of the ocean, and witness verdant hillsides and green rice terraces. You’ll have time to relax, explore, imbibe, and mingle with new friends and travelers—and, of course, integrate it all on the mat. 

How You’ll Feel When You Return Home

When you get home (unless you decide to stay!) from your Bali yoga retreat you’ll have a little piece of magical, soulful, iridescent Bali in your heart to match your memories and photos.  Expect body and mind rejuvenation and residual happy vibes from this magical island.

Frequently Asked Questions

U.S. passport holders will need to show a passport valid for six months after the arrival date in Bali, a return ticket and at least two empty stamp pages in your passport.  If you do not have the validity or appropriate number of blank pages, please apply for a new passport in plenty of time for your trip. As of June 2015, U.S. passport holders are exempt from needing to get a visa as long as the travel is strictly for tourism purposes and the stay is less than 30 days.  Visa regulations have been hit or miss for travelers and the ultimate decision for the need to obtain a visa-on-arrival is up to the immigration officer when you deplane.  It is recommended that all travelers carry enough U.S. cash to pay for a visa should the officer deem it necessary.  The current visa-on-demand cost is $35US, however we’d recommend carrying $50 in case of a price change.  Please check the State Department for up to date information. Citizens of all other countries should check with their government for entry requirements.

Make all travel arrangements into Denpasar (DPS).  Please be aware that you will need to depart the US one to two days before the start of the yoga retreat, depending on the flight schedule you chose.

Bali utilizes the standard British plug (two flat blades and one flat grounding blade) and the European plug (two round pins) and is at 230V.  Adapters  will be necessary if you are taking any electrical items.

While we hope you’ll try and unplug… yes, there is wifi access on both of our properties.

Because of its location, Bali tends to have fairly stable weather with the ‘wet’ season occurring between October and April and the ‘dry’ season between May and September.  It is generally always hot with temperatures hovering in the mid to high 80s and up.

Yes!  Of course.  Once you’re booked you’ll receive an email with important logistical information and a link to your invoice.  You can pay any amount at any time on the invoice; you can use it as a payment plan or leave it alone until the final due date. Remember that deposits are non-refundable so, on all trips, we recommend purchasing travel insurance.

Years ago Melissa found herself in a rut struggling with anxiety, insomnia and chronic neck pain. Going through the motions of life frustrated and unhappy, one day she asked herself “is this as good as it gets?” The universe seemed to respond quickly as she soon found herself in a yoga class breathing, twisting and turning without a clue as to what she was doing. After that yoga class, the light bulb went off as she walked out blissful and hopeful! Melissa had no idea that she had just taken her first steps onto a new path that would completely reshape her life. Melissa was hooked, and that feeling has been bringing her back to her mat every day! Melissa began practicing yoga and meditation regularly and could see that her life was changing, she was sleeping better, was less anxious and her neck pain disappeared. In a short amount of time, she was feeling fantastic and truly enjoying life.
