Participants are welcome regardless of age, fitness, or level of experience. You will learn yoga from a highly experienced local instructor who will gently guide you through the session in a supportive group environment.
The yoga classes are an hour long and are typically in the mid-late afternoon, the absolute perfect precursor before heading to Uluwatu to enjoy and appreciate the breathtaking evening sunset. Whether it is your first time or if you have been practicing for years, you will hopefully learn something new and discover a new level of strength and balance from each session.

2. Power yoga
Power yoga is an intensive form of yoga that is fast-paced and is sure to get your heart rate up and make you work hard. It will make you sweat and get the endorphins flowing. Power is perfect for anyone who is looking to improve their strength and fitness with this high-intensity style of practice.

The retreat leader Markus Davy (ERYT500) takes nonsense seriously. As a decades-long yoga teacher / practitioner and dedicated surfer, he has developed a unique approach to teaching that explores the relationship between self-discipline and play.
