Yoga Retreats for Women

Living in Ubud, Bali for six years I’ve learned a lot, seen a lot, and experienced a lot. I’ve been to yoga classes, gatherings, cacao ceremonies, women’s circles, meditations, and festivals. 

Although western yoga has gained a reputation for being a female-dominated practice, classic yoga was initially a male-only philosophy. It was not until relatively late, in 1937, that Indra Devi, also known as ‘the first lady of yoga’, was accepted to study under Sri Krishnamacharya.

Yoga has always encouraged us to reconnect with ourselves and nature. But our busy urban lives often compel us to attend classes in indoor studios.

There’s no denying that 2020 has been a rocky road, and the need to disconnect and focus on our wellbeing is now greater than ever.
