Amazing week full of yoga, newfound friendships & great food
From the moment I arrived in this little corner of paradise I knew it was going to be a special week. The yoga was just one of so many elements to enjoy. Ewelina and Rohil welcomed us with open arms and their warmth, honesty and integrity shines through. The yoga practise was deep and varied with further study supporting our knowledge growth every day. Nature walks and immersion in the jungle helped bring stillness. Ewelina and Rohil’s dedication to deliver interesting workshops that focus on personal growth encourage each individual to shine a light on their inner selves, truly bringing out the best of each of us. To every staff member at Bali Eco Stay, thankyou for all your hard work. And Ewelina and Rohil - thankyou so much. I feel blessed to have been able to know you & spend such a special time with you. To anyone hesitating to book, don’t wait as this retreat is truly transformational! 🙏

Intense, Insightful & Inspiring – Jungle Yoga at Its Best
The best thing about this retreat was the complete immersion in nature paired with a truly traditional Ashtanga experience. Practising daily in an open-air shala surrounded by the jungle, waking up with the sunrise, and being nourished by homegrown food and spring water created the perfect setting to reconnect with myself, physically and mentally. The simplicity of the environment, the depth of the practice, and the support from the teachers made it incredibly grounding and transformational.

The retreat, extra activities and workshops exceeded my expectations. The instructors are not only knowledgeable but also nurturing and kind with each person's level. It's a retreat for all levels, so don't be shy to try it out. The accommodation at Bali EcoStay was amazing!

The BEST yoga week
Ewelina and Rohil greeted me on arrival, gifted everyone a bag and lovely water bottle to use for the week and a laminate of the Ashtanga series (incredibly helpful!). Throughout the week, Ewelina and Rohil were extremely caring and attentive and I felt very supported by them. The group that I was on the retreat with were so lovely and I feel like I’ve made great friends. There was no judgement or competition energy, which really helped as I was quite anxious at the start. The retreat not only had yoga sessions but we learnt a lot about the Balinese way of life with learning how to make offerings and Jamu. Rohil and Ewelina also put on workshops in the afternoon to learn about the theory side of yoga, ie the history and philosophy which was incredibly interesting. My favourite workshop was how to create healthy habits in day to day life, something I will definitely be using now I feel I have the tools. The food provided throughout the week was healthy and delicious. All in all a great week all round, I will definitely be doing another one of their retreats and I highly recommend it to anyone who is considering doing a yoga retreat!

A blissful, kind retreat - by the loveliest genuine people
Ubud is a beautiful place -I was worried that it would be too congested because it was a city but it is more of an oasis - and the retreat was based 10 minutes (scooter ride) into the rice fields. Joglo Organik was beautiful, untouched and still luxurious. The staff were so kind, patient and engaging.
Both Rohil & Ewelina were amazing practitioners. As a solo traveller I really needed the reassurance of a gentle space that I could be myself in, take my mindful practice and slowly connect with other people.
Amazingly I came to found Ewelina and Rohil (and the retreat) to be more than I had hoped. They were so kind, beautiful inside and out and wanted nothing but the best for all of the Yogi's in attendance. They were attentive before class -sending tutorials to familiarise with practice; had amazingly warm personalities on arrival and throughout; and truly cared about connecting with everyone - sharing their wisdom and stories. They truly were present for everyone on their own unique journeys.
I also knew that Ashtanga was challenging - having tried it once before at another retreat, so part of me was up for seeing what my body was capable of doing, and the other part of me was a bit intimidated - but I was open to the process and as a result of Ewelina & Rohils care, was so proud to note my progress over the short week of my stay.
I felt so fortunate to meet everyone I encountered, already miss it & more than anything so very grateful of Ewelina and Rohil.

A transformative experience
In a little pocket of paradise in the middle of Ubud’s rice fields, Ewelina and Rohil opened the doors to the practice of Ashtanga yoga in an inspiring way. We had two led classes and thanks to the Ashtanga Mysore style all the students could then work to their own pace gradually progressing. Patient and professional our teachers focused 1:1 with beginners on the more foundational postures whilst simultaneously with experienced yogis on more complicated sequences. A special thanks to Ewelina - never a teacher so diligently and encouragingly corrected my postures trying to set firm fondations for my practice. The vegetarian food was tasty and rejuvenating. At night fireflies would danse over the rice fields as the frogs chanted providing an enchanting atmosphere. A beautiful peaceful retreat with warm and passionate people I can only strongly recommend ✨

Eine inspirierende Woche im Paradies
I had an amazing week.
The Ashtanga practice in the morning helped me develop my skills and I got very helpful assists. Both of them are really kind people and dedicated to their practice.
The Bali Eco stay is a beautiful place surrounded by rice fields and waterfalls and every room is very unique. Everyone is super friendly. The freshly cooked food is delicious. The excursions gave me a chance to get to know Bali and the culture a little more.
And the workshops were very motivating and helpful for my future life and practice at home.
Thank you Rohil & Ewelina! :)

An amazing yoga retreat that truly exceeded my expectations
Evelina and Rohil, the teachers, are beautiful people that create a very warm and welcoming atmosphere. From the beginning people felt safe to open up, be real, share, connect, care and be cared for. That's a good place to be in physically and emotionally and creates space for growth, improvement and for facing fears also. All the people joining the retreat were absolutely lovely. The teachers were also very skilled, patient and supportive. The whole setup was ideal for creating calmness around us and for finding peace. The location and Joglo Organik as a place to stay is magical, absolutely amazing. I learned so much, gained courage, got so much love and felt connected. Would truly recommend anything organized by lovely Ewelina and Rohil, they are amazing, put so much effort and do a gret job. They also give a wonderful example of how to live life and treat others in a way that will make you and everyone around you happy. So greatful for this experience!♡

Beautiful life experience
This yoga and meditation retreat was like water in the desert for myself:)
I arrived at a time of total confusion and with a thousand thoughts in my head and after a week since I left, I can say that it helped me a lot. My mind it’s more peaceful, I am more in touch with myself and the yoga practice is getting better and better every day.
It was a week full of love, exchange, compassion, friendships, relaxation, education and so much more.
I arrived with no expectations and I must say that Rohil and Evelina, made this retreat, one of the best things I could have done on my trip.
Anyone who decides to have this experience, can expect a cozy location, healthy and fresh vegetarian food, two very caring teachers who love what they do, different types of meditation, workshops, and other out of doors activities.
I am grateful for all of that.
Thank you Evelina, thank you Rohil.

Beyond Yoga: A Heartfelt Journey of Growth and Connection
From the moment I stepped into the serene embrace of the Purna Yoga retreat, I knew I was in for an extraordinary journey. Nestled in a breathtaking location that whispers tranquility, this haven offered more than just yoga; it offered a sanctuary for the soul. The classes, led by the incredibly skilled Rohil and Ewelina, were a harmonious blend of challenge and peace, pushing the boundaries of my practice while nurturing my spirit.
The meals prepared by Joglo Organik's team were a highlight, offering a variety of delicious and nourishing dishes that perfectly complemented our daily activities.
The group of attendees, a diverse tapestry of souls, contributed to an energy and connection that was palpable. We were not just individuals practicing yoga; we were a community, connected by a shared journey towards inner peace and wellness.
The magic of this retreat, however, was truly embodied by Rohil and Ewelina. Their dedication, passion, and genuine love for what they do shone through in every interaction. They didn't just teach; they inspired, making every moment an opportunity for growth, reflection, and connection.
In essence, this retreat was a profound experience that transcended the physical aspects of yoga. It was a journey of the heart, guided by two extraordinary teachers, in a place that felt like a piece of paradise. I am immensely grateful for the experience and carry with me not just the memories, but the growth and peace I found there.

A good experience
The two instructions is very nice and helpful. Give me all the solution for my worries and always care of us not only during practice, also leisure time. I will suggest my friends to join and I will come back again too. They organise many delicious food for our daily meal. All the things they prepare are from their heart. I am very appreciate with their preparation for the whole trip.

A very special experience
So much to love about this retreat. The quality of teaching was excellent - I am not a lover of Ashtanga but Rohil and Ewelina's teaching really transformed this - I now practice Ashtanga daily in whatever way I can. They made it accessible and fun.
I LOVED the food and the incredible variation of delicious, healthy, fresh and colourful food - from breakfast to supper, it was exceptional.
The place itself was tranquil and so welcoming, as were the family who owned the hotel - we had a really precious afternoon with Grandma making offerings which was so special.
Rohil and Ewelina made me feel instantly at ease, both prior to the retreat and on arrival. They created safe spaces for each of us to unfold and express ourselves - both on the mat and off.
Afternoon sessions on philosophy, lifestyle and technique were each very insightful even for someone who has undertaken 200+ hours YTT training previously. In addition to this, the meditation evenings were honestly some of the loveliest I have experienced, lead very carefully and authentically, this allowed for all of us to really connect and share some truly special moments. I cannot recommend this retreat enough - I only look forward to the 2-week version which I hope is coming soon. Thank you so much Rohil and Ewelina, the wonderful ladies and gorgeous family who hosted us.

August ‘23 Retreat
Everything exceeded my expectations. I really enjoyed the location and accommodations provided. There is no air conditioning, but I live in a climate similar so it was a nice change not having a/c. I was immediately welcomed and felt it was without judgement so I felt very comfortable letting my walls down right away. I really enjoy the ashtanga practice and what it provides for my mental health since I am a stay at home mom. I felt the program could be beneficial for all levels. There was also knowledge shared of Ayurveda which is beneficial for all levels of a yoga practice so I found it a huge perk

Highly recommended!
I've enjoyed staying with Rohil and Ewelina as they bring people into the world of Ashtanga. It's not only a morning exercise; it's a discipline and philosophy through discovering the abilities of your mind and body. It is an everyday work and progress. I liked the accommodation and especially the food.
The retreat itself was intense, filled with practice, theory workshops, and little travels, where we were not only spending our time together but at the same time, we had a lot of time to rest, to have a nap during the intense day and spend some time on our own.
It was a perfect balance for me. I felt pervaded but not exhausted. I recommend you joining the retreat and experience all the benefits by yourself. I'm sure you will find something for yourself during this week and the time spent with Rohil and Ewelina.

The retreat was the perfect combination of Ashtanga practice, amazing food & the sweetest people.
Rohil & Ewelina are amazing teacher sharing their passion for Ashtanga. Having the mysore style practice makes it perfect for all skills level and through their 1:1 adjustment I was able to really improve my practice within the week.
The place was also amazing in the middle of the rice fields, surrounded by nature - we could even see fireflies after an amazing sunset. It is a family owned hotel and the people were so sweet & the homemade food (all vegetarian) was beyond.
Can really recommend this retreat for anyone who wants to deepen or get into the practice of Ashtanga. Ewelina & Rohil put so much love & effort into every detail of this retreat, that in the end you feel like family.
