Program
Ceremony + Culture + Self-Care

- Fire: partake in a traditional fire ceremony led by a Balinese priest before a delicious-tasting meal
- Air: breathe deep in the misty morning air as you take a guided walk through the picturesque rice paddy fields
- Ether: end the week with a special spa ritual dedicated to the full relaxation of your minds and bodies, as well as a traditional Balinese ‘melekut’ blessing. Read more below for all of the activities included.
Give Back Retreat
This retreat is part of the "Give Back" initiative, where EPM will donate at least 10% of profits to a humanitarian partner in the community where each retreat is held. The partner in India is "Threads of Life" a "fair trade business that works with culture and conservation to alleviate poverty in rural Indonesia."
Wellness
Daily yoga and meditation classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and can range from gentle and restorative to more vigorous vinyasa flow styles. %Style and class levels will be determined and molded to fit participating students' needs, and with a small intimate retreat class size, students will be able to get personalized attention and comfortability to deeply explore their practice. Depending on each retreat location, classes will be held in a dedicated indoor yoga space, and some also offer outdoor options for us to use if the weather is agreeable.
In this new itinerary in addition to a daily yoga class, you will also enjoy another activity in the line of mindfulness - either a second ‘asana’ (movement-based) yoga class, a meditation class (or meditation walk), or a special Balinese ceremony or blessing. Each day will offer guests a way to enhance their physical health and bodies, but also a stimulating way to enrich their mental and spiritual health as well.
Participation in classes and activities is optional throughout the retreat. All levels are welcome!
Included excursions
Activities
Guests will not only enjoy the grounds of the villa, and the outdoor areas, including a lovely pool, patio, and lounges, but the retreat also includes some amazing day trips to the surrounding sites. Various guided days in and around the East Bali and Ubud areas will lead guests through an introduction to this amazing country.
You'll participate in a Balinese healing and fire ritual, learn Balinese cooking during the cuisine lesson at an organic garden, explore the coast on a boat ride to a secluded beach, and enjoy a guided walk through the ride-paddies.
There will be time in nature and on the beaches, and the time will be split between the sea and rainforest to really immerse in the unique differences of each location.
Instructors
Mindy Johnstone
Having begun her practice 20 years ago, Mindy's style of teaching is rooted in the Ashtanga tradition. A love for the fluidity is deepened with Vinyasa flow and the more restorative Yin and iRest Yoga Nidra. On retreat, prepare to be inspired and nurtured as her strength lies in the ability to cater to group and individual needs. The yoga community offers a family in all parts of the globe and Mindy is grateful for the guidance and shared wisdom she receives from students and teachers.
Retreat location
Your time in Bali will be split between two locations so guests can experience the best of what this lovely land has to offer! You will start at a seaside town away from the hustle and bustle and settle into this week by the ocean. The first is sumptuous, yet unassuming - an ocean-front retreat that lies in the shade of Mount Agung, held up as sacred by Balians, surrounded by opulent coconut groves.
Mid-way through the week, you'll head into Bali's most famous town of Ubud. Both hotels offer award-winning design accommodations and even one of the world's "Top 50 Pools in the World".

Food
Breakfast is an open menu with all diets being represented, so for non-vegetarians, there are options for some other proteins as well. Plus a couple of the provided meals will have an option for seafood, and of course, guests can choose whatever they prefer from menus when we are on our own for a few meals.
Healthful, vegetarian* food is part of the retreat experience, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily, either hosted at your hotel or out and about in town. Some even come served on a banana leaf! The cuisine is simple, delicious, and Balinese, using fresh ingredients from local markets. You will take your tastebuds further by exploring Indonesian cuisine in a cooking class - you'll be accompanied by a chef to a gourmet organic garden with views to Mount Agung and the fields of rice paddies, where you'll pick fresh ingredients and have a master cooking class to learn a bit of how to bring the flavors of Bali back home.
The following meals are included:
- Breakfast
