All of the teachers really took theire time to give specific and individual feedback, which was very helpful to improve myself. I could tell, that they wanted all of us to improve and go out of this teaching with as much information and practice as possible. The schedule was good structered and and well organised.

La gentillesse du staff et des professeurs.
Les bungalows blancs et l’emplacement du logement. Le staff et les organisateurs de la retraite ont fait le maximum pour m’aider à me sentir mieux à la retraite.
Je conseille de prendre un hébergement extérieur bien moins cher et mieux et de venir seulement pour les cours.

"Review Yoga Bliss"
I spent a wonderful week at Yoga Bliss. The accomodation (a bungalow for 1 to 2 persons, including a porch and a bathroom) was perfect for me, very calm, next to the two pools; the pool area could be used for sunbathing or just meeting other people staying at the retreat.
Being an absolute beginner, the yoga lessons (which I mostly took with Debbie and Charlotte) opened up a whole new universe for me; I appreciated very much the warm and welcoming atmosphere, the expertise of both teachers and the way beginners were integrated into classes actually designed for much more advanced participants. Charlotte was also my retreat host and took care of all the the bookings included in the package (surf lessons, snorkeling, massages) - her patience with regard to modifications of time schedules etc. was infinite! I also appreciated very much the support provided by Gede, the site manager, the careful preparation of my stay with Lisa and the whole ambiance of the site. I really recommend the retreat without any reservation.

"Tolles Yoga Retreat in familiärer Atmosphäre nah am Strand"
Mein Bungalow im Green Garden Cottage war sehr sauber und gemütlich. Besonders gefallen hat mir das Außen-Badezimmer unter freiem Himmel und der Pool. Auch die Nachbarschaft ist sehr angenehm mit dem ein oder anderen Huhn, was gackert. Die Yoga Sessions mit Charlotte und Debbie morgens um 8:00 und nachmittags um 17:00 waren hervorragend. Die Teilnehmerinnen waren eher fortgeschritten als Anfänger, würde ich sagen. Aber auch für Anfängerinnen war es passend. Charlotte hat sich auch super um das Buchen von Surfen und Massage gekümmert. Am besten war „Hotel Manager“ Gede, der sich um alles sehr herzlich und kompetent sofort gekümmert hat, z.B. Fahrt zum ATM und Insel-Tour, Organisation der Abreise. Vielen Dank ans Team vor Ort!

I was looked after and taught by Debbie and Charlotte, who are lovely people and excellent teachers.
The shala and setting are beautiful. The classes are inclusive and you can feel confident working from any level.
The team went above and beyond, helping me with arriving on the island from Bali, settling on the island, the best places to go, transport and drivers.
The staff who work there are the loveliest people. There was so much kindness and care from everybody.
You will also love Nala, the resident yoga dog.
Amenities are very good. There is a

The rooms and installations of the Green Garden provided me with the best sleep I had on my vacations. Dark and comfy with AC. It is also convenient that you can start your yoga retreat at any date. Very well located. Close enough of everything but still very quiet.

"I had a wonderful stay at Yoga Bliss"
I enjoyed my stay at yoga bliss a lot. I really loved to join the two daily yoga classes and liked the variety of the classes (Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Slow Flow, Yin and Power Yoga). The daily breaksfast was delicous; lots of variety here too and one could choose smoothie/fruit (loved the fresh fruits) and muesli bowls/porridge etc. as well as very good local food. I was welcomed with open arm and felt immediately 100% comfortable at Yoga Bliss. Lisa and the whole team are very helpful and make really big efforts for the Retreat Guests to have a great time. I also appreciated the accomodation with lots of nature and plants (bungalows with private outdoor bathroom) and the calm atmosphere at the swimming pool. I would love to come back soon!

"Highly recommended"
I attended classes with three different instructors. All were very good. They focused more on yoga techniques and mentality, and less on the spiritual side of yoga, which suits me but might not be to everyone's taste. The on site bungalows were fully booked but I was able to stay in a nearby holiday bungalow, which was extremely pleasant. The included breakfast was good, and flexible about timings. The surrounding island is beautiful and the retreat centre is within walking distance of many good restaurants and bars. I appreciated the convenience of airport pickup and dropoff. Lisa in particular was extremely friendly and helpful with advice about the island and booking non-yoga activities. Overall this was an extremely relaxing trip, pretty much exactly what I was hoping for, and I hope to come back in the future.

Sadie welcomed me, and these days she was responsible for most of the sessions. They were really good, and one evening when there was a huge thunderstorm I even had a private lesson with her, because nobody showed up. She could have canceled it, but instead of that we had a very good practice.
The snorkeling was great, with beautiful corals and manta rays, very well organized. Sadie arranged it for me.

It was convenient with the pickup included in the package, just let them know where you are staying and they arrange everything for your trip there. The retreat center is really nice, I stayed in a beautiful little bungalow style cottage. The retreat manager Gede was super helpful and friendly. He took me on a private tour of the island which was the highlight of my trip! From my experience: If your main focus is to do yoga you can find better places but if you want a nice place to stay for a convenient vacation on a paradise island this is a good one.

"pure soul balm"
the little and most beautiful Island I've seen so far is inviting you to the special place "yoga bliss" and its name doesn't exaggerate - it truly was the most blissful yoga experience I've ever had. My bungalow offered me enough space and so much room to relax and unwind surrounded by mother nature and all their noises. Waking up in the morning, I always knew that "M" was waiting for me with a beautifully created yoga sequence - she leads you through a session with her passionate heart and brings out the really best of your soul, body and mind. She is just pure magic and after one session you feel deeply moved and changed. So, you experience this "after yoga bliss" in a total new way... When you finished the morning routine the restaurant inside offers a plenty of fresh and healthy food - for me as a vegan it was simply heaven. Till the next session in the evening you are able to explore the island, get some massages or simply go to the overwhelming beach and enjoy this amazingly beautiful scenery.
THIS experience s truly unforgettable and memorable - I'll always carry it right inside of my heart like a weapon.

"Great yoga classes with bad accommodation "
The yoga teachers were all very friendly and competent and Merete's goal was definitely for everyone to have a good experience.
She was friendly, welcoming and a great instructor.
The accommodation in Nyoman on the other hand was far from great. At first glance, the place looks nice but the pool is not very clean. The room wasn't filthy but a bit grubby and not well maintained. There was a big mold stain on the wall and one of the pillows was full of mold stains. The kitchen is unacceptably filthy. We got served veggies that were not fresh (black stains on the cabbage) on dirty plates with dirty cuttlery that we had to clean with our napkins. It was dusgusting.
When we stored our luggage, they painted the wall it was leaning against and they painted over my backpack causing big green stains cause they didn't move it. This place is unacceptable which makes the retreat still good but not great in price.

I have been to Bali so many times but never got a chance to experience another islands, I chose 4 days 3 nights yoga retreat, it's way too short, I didn't get much yoga classes I can participate, I tried to do as much as I can, the class was good for every level, and depends on instructor might have some challenging for you. Lisa was great ! had a great time at her power yoga in the morning, I was worried the class might be really basic in the beginning, and for me I really hope I can enhance my yoga at this time, but Lisa did a great job to bring some challenge in the class, and made my morning class really sweaty and challenging!! The breakfast and massage were both good, I wish I could stay longer !!

Yoga was amazing. I took so many classes and all of them were not only inspiring but also at times the perfect amount of exhausting and fulfilling. The atmosphere is awesome and being able to do three courses a day just perfect!

Nusa Lembongan is a great choice for location, with a great vibe and a thousand places to relax.
The activities complement the yoga really well. The surfing scene on the island is great for learners, and the massages added to the relaxing getaway experience.
Nanna was the teacher and she was excellent. Aside from being an excellent yogi she really engages with the retreaters to make sure they are getting the most out of their time on the island. She is one of those people that radiates positivity - just the kind of person you want to be dealing with on a retreat!

I love the idea of connection of 4 different styles of yoga (2 Yin + 2 Yang) since they all together give great basement for yoga teaching and better idea which direction to go in the future.
I liked the savasana adjustments workshop, philosophy conversations, lots of opportunities to teach, silence kept during the morning practices. Very nice and experienced teachers and beauty of Lembongan island! ♥

"Sportliche Erholung auf Lembongan"
Wir hatten das 10 Tage Yoga-Retreat gebucht und sind mehr als begeistert! Unsere Yoga-Lehrerin war Hollie. Sie ist eine sehr sehr liebe Person, die auf all unsere Wünsche und Bedürfnisse eingegangen ist. Wir durften ganz viele neue Erfahrungen mitnehmen und haben auch viel von ihr gelernt.
Die Unterkunft sieht aus wie auf den Bildern. Momentan, November 2018, ist Baustelle hinten am Pool. Wenn man dort tagsüber liegen und schwimmen mag, hat man etwas Baustellenlärm. Um dem Lärm aus dem Weg zu gehen kann man vorne im Restaurant Bescheid sagen, dass man sich gerne einen Roller mieten möchte. Es gibt wirklich viele schöne Ecken auf der Insel Lembongan und Ceningan, die über die gelbe Brücke zu erreichen ist, die man innerhalb von mehreren Tagen gemütlich erkunden kann.
Das Essen im Restaurant ist super lecker und dazu auch noch sehr preiswert! Wir mussten eigentlich nirgends anders hingehen.
Im Retreat war auch Surf-Unterricht inbegriffen. Die Jungs von der Schule „Newbro“ haben uns alles sehr ruhig erklärt und hatten sehr viel Geduld mit uns und haben uns nach jedem Versuch Tips gegeben, wie es klappt. Und dann stand man nach mehreren Versuchen tatsächlich auf dem Brett und hat sich von den Wellen treiben lassen. Eine Erfahrung, die wir nicht missen wollen!
Auch der Schnorchel-Trip war unvergesslich! Die wunderschönen Korallen in den Mangroven sind ein Muss! Ebenso beeindruckend war es, als wir bei Penigan den Manta-Rochen im Meer begegnet sind.
Vielen Dank an alle!

The bungalow was very nice and the outdoor shower and toilet on the back as well. In the Green Garden restaurant they serve delicious food, lovely arranged smoothie bowls. The staff is very friendly.

HIGHLY recommend this to anyone looking for an independent yoga retreat; you will have an excellent opportunity to enjoy and explore the island on your own, as well as receive assistance With planning other activities (surfing, snorkeling). Hollie made it so easy; I never felt like I didn't know what to do/where to go/what was going on. Upon arrival, we discussed when I wanted to do the included activities and she basically sent a few text messages and it was all taken care of for me, including transportation. I also loved that there was transportation to and from the airport.

"Unforgettable experience in my life. "
First of all, Pick-up with Company Rocky and drop-off was amazingly smooth and safe. Also, I stayed at D' Mel sari which is the guest house nearby Yoga bliss. Owner, Ketut was very nice and friendly during the stay. Coordinator Hollie, a very responsible person, greeted and planed all messages and surfing classes with me even though she was not feeling well. I tried all kinds of yoga classes which are professional and let your stress go. Teachers are very friendly and helpful. Especially Vanessa made us happy and smile all the time during the class. Piru led me to more intense practice as I always want to. Especially It was my first time to try Yin Class. Highly recommend Yin class if you want to see yourself. Teacher Hollie will guide you to find peaceful inner body health with it. Breakfast!! gave me such a grateful morning after morning yoga classes. sometimes It took times to get breakfast around 30mins- 1hr. But all menu is very good and if you are not the morning person, then you can have it in the afternoon or evening. No time limit for retreat guests. not only breakfast, But lunch or dinner was good too. Prices are reasonable and just so cozy to relax there with good food. I miss there so much. Massages! just make your day so relaxing and masseuse find your stressful stop on your body and make it smooth again. Surfing instructors were very professional and responsible for their jobs. I was extremely enjoying every time every day. Thank you all. miss you so much.

The yoga studio is really beautiful and I really recommend to stay at the bungalows there if available. The island is stunning and you can mostly walk everywhere. The yoga sessions are really balanced and it is actually nice go to at least 2 of them per day, that still leaves plenty of time for other activities.

"Amazing yoga retreat at Yoga Bliss"
I absolutely loved the 7 day retreat I did at Yoga Bliss. The shala is a beautiful, atmospheric and peaceful place to do yoga with a soft breeze flowing through, the rustling of leaves, the sound of cockerels and the smell of incense. There’s a really good variety of yoga taught by 3 experienced and excellent teachers who all have their different styles. They were all so knowledgable about the yoga they were teaching and created a meditative atmosphere every class. I’d not done much yoga before the retreat, but I feel really inspired to continue after my time at Yoga Bliss. The surfing lessons and massages are a great addition to the yoga. The package as a whole is a perfect mixture of fun and relaxing. Being on the retreat made it easy to meet other ‘retreaters’ and I made some really good new friends from all over the world. Everyone came on their own like me. We would often eat breakfast together in the Green Garden Restaurant which served yummy, nutritional food. Hollie, the retreat coordinator who also teaches yoga, is so friendly and good at linking up those on retreat. It was nice to have a ‘go-to’ person if you had any questions or issues and she organises the surfing and massages for you. The people on retreat could use the lovely Yoga Bliss pool even if you were staying in a partner guesthouse nearby. Yoga Bliss was near to the nice main beach on Nusa Lembongan and lots of restaurants & cafes. It’s a small chilled place so you really feel start feeling at home here.

"Blissfull"
I am really grateful for my experience at Yoga Bliss. It was just what I needed.
I was lucky to score a bungalow at the last minute. I loved the outdoor bathroom.
I enjoyed reconnecting with yoga at my level. (It's been a while... so I'm back to the beginning)
Surf lessons were great! I actually stood up so I was totally stoked with that.
Lembogan is a neat little island, very charming. I loved exploring it.
And the food at the Green cafe was yummy and healthy.
The ladies doing the retreat were all lovely to
And a big thanks to Hollie for the yoga classes and coordinating all the extras like surf, massage and travel.

The place is amazing, nice staff, good yoga lesson. The other activities (surf, massage) are well organised and you never have to worry about anything.
Food at the green garden is very good and healthy.

"A great experience!"
I really enjoyed the restaurant (food was always fresh and delicious, and the staff super friendly) and the yoga classes. Hollie and Sarah are really great teachers, and the shala is an amazing place to practice. I would even suggest to add a private class to the package for beginners like me, as mine was highly beneficial

"Un séjour mitigé "
Le restaurent green garden est délicieux. Très bon rapport qualité prix. Très bon. Copieux. Pas de taxe additionnelle
Le personnel indonésien adorable et attentionné. De beaux moments de partage avec eux.
Les partenaires extérieurs indonésiens (surf snorkling massage) sont très bien. Chaleureux et professionnel.

"Wonderful stay in paradise"
I booked this retreat on a whim and could not have been happier with the decision: the other retreat guests, the classes, the lodging, and the food were all excellent! Hollie was so accommodating and her classes were the perfect blend of body&mind. Nusa Lembongan is a beautiful island on which to spend a week doing yoga, hiking, surfing and more! I can’t recommend this retreat enough and would absolutely love to go back someday.

"Just magic!"
I stayed for the 7-day-retreat and cannot stop smiling. Hollie is one of the best teachers I ever had (and these are at least 40) besides that she is such a lovely person - we all wanted to pack her in our bags and import her to our yogaschools back home. She makes the classes interesting and challenging for all levels.
The bungalows are very very nice and stylish as well as the shala and the restaurant. (Like other people mentioned, it is not a retreat like being „away from everything“ because the restaurant and the classes are open for everyone which I personally loved because it creates great energy, especially in the classes) Fantastic food & the sweetest staff. Altogether a magic atmosphere. I wanna come back immediately and will also send all my friends there!!!!

"Jackpot"
What can I say, It is always a gamble if you book your Holiday and in this case an active one in the form of a Yoga Retreat. After some hectic months I really needed a break. Going for a Yoga retreat was the number 1 on my bucket list. My 15 days at Yoga Bliss was on the scale of 1 to 10, a 10+. The ambiance is giving you everything your heart needs and desires. The Bungalows are from that kind that you feel home and don’t want to leave anymore. The food that comes out of their kitchen is from another level and close to heavenly. Everything is organic and delicious. Their menu has such wide range that it is impossible to try everything during your stay. The Yoga classes given by Hollie and Gwen they are well trained and knowledgeable yoga masters. The Shala is such a serene place, surrounded by banana and palm trees. The Shala has an amazing floor from recycled teak wood. Their classes are diverse and never boring. They push you without pushing you over limits you don’t even know you were capable of. The yoga classes at Yoga Bliss are two times daily and in some occasions three times a day and they are always full, but never crowded. Yoga Bliss on Lembongan is like a new overseas family to me. While writing this review a warm feeling of amazing experiences fill my heart and I can consider myself a very lucky person, because my gamble is rewarded with the jackpot.
My love to the complete Yoga Bliss Team,
Peter Arnoud Bensen.

"A truly life changing experience "
The content was extremely rich and I learned so much about the body, yoga and myself.
The schedule was intense, but well put together. Having heard about others, it really is the most conducive to learning.
The teaching was incredible - teachers built your knowledge up and took the time to check in regularly both on a student and personal level.
The food was very good. Breakfast was certainly my favourite with fresh fruit juices and smoothie bowls.

"Happy Yogi, happy time!"
I took part at Yoga Bliss’ YTTC at Lembongan this year! Best choice ever! Gwen and Shawna taught as everything we wanted to know about Ashtanga and our Yin practice. Philosohy and Anatomy were absolutely interesting and Gwen and Shawna made it easy for everyone to follow, without making any shortcuts. We also learned different Pranayama and Meditation technics and involved them more and more in our daily practice, everyone in his/her own tempo and knowledge. Food was healthy, delicious and local, you can choose your own option, vegan, veggie or meat. Over all I had an amazing time, met amazing people and would do it absolutely again! Thanks Gwen and Shawna, Namaste!

"Best decision ever made. "
Gina and Gwen are incredible at what they do. They gave me a whole new understanding of yoga and my personal practise, which I'll be forever grateful for. The shala, the food and the homestay (Radya) was all in high standard, and I couldn't have asked for more. I feel ready to embrace my future as a yoga-teacher with the new tools this course has given me.
I can't recommend this experience highly enough. I would do it all over again at any time.
