This is an ideal opportunity to travel on your own or with a friend joining a small group. The focus is on fun, nurturing, laughter with a healthy splash of yoga. Sounds Bliss!??? (It truly is!!)
Namaste Bali is a ‘Smile in your heart’ experience.
A Yoga adventure like no other.
Infused with culture, hosted by my Balinese family and blessed with the healing teachings of Guru Made Sumantra (GMS) it’s a unique experience. There is no other retreat like this one!
It is a unique experience each year. Nicole continues to include her cornerstone ‘Namaste Bali’ features interspersed with special new experiences, staying true to her intention that YOU are nurtured and immersed in a true Balinese experience……and it’s FUN!
Don’t just take my word for it!
WHY DO WOMEN KEEP RETURNING FOR MORE NAMASTE BALI???
* It reflects Nicole’s special relationship with her teacher Guru Made Sumantra and Balinese family, headed by Wayan Suparta, who proudly share their Bali.
*Each year the group is warmly welcomed by this Balinese family who make Namaste Bali the best it can be.
* The loving, fun and safe space created at the Ubud Art Villa flows to and from the welcome circle, yoga sessions, eating experiences, ceremony and temples, the bus, the pool, the entertainment (prepare to dance!), the conversations and deepened connections with self, others and Bali.
* It delivers way beyond what can be described in the program. For many it has been life changing and women return year after year to top up and reconnect with the magic of Namaste Bali. A communion of heart, mind, body, soul and as GMS explains a connection with ‘the cosmos’. In other words we smile in our hearts and feel the love and light fill up our bodies.
IT IS A NURTURING YOGA HOLIDAY……. an authentic Balinese experience while enjoying some yoga, great food and lots of love and fun
This is an opportunity for gentle healing and harmonisation.
