This retreat is designed for everyone, from absolute beginners to seasoned yogis, offering a space to realign, reconnect to your centre and others, and embrace a sense of renewal.
Anna and her co-facilitator Lisa Allwell, have thoughtfully curated this experience to inspire deep rest, foster connection and create lasting moments of peace and self-discovery.
Your Retreat Guides
A decade ago Anna Bidgood recommenced yoga, met Lisa Allwell as her yoga teacher and was immediately drawn to both!!
Anna went on to study Yoga and wellness therapies and teaches Yin and Fascia Release classes as well holds regular Restorative Yoga Workshops with Sound Healing and Reiki. She is into all things wellness and shares strategies for healthy and calm living. Anna has a love of travel and adored leading her last retreat to Bali. It was a no brainer to team up with her friend and mentor Lisa Allwell. They had soooo much fun they teamed up again!
Lisa has led 11 previous Bali Retreats (to this very place)….she just can’t seem to stay away. When you join her in Bali, she’ll tell you about how in Bali the yoga is often hidden in plain sight.
You will see first-hand how their devotion, prayer and ceremony permeate all aspects of your stay. It is impossible not to be touched by the colourful daily rituals, offerings and ordinary magic.
Lisa will infuse the retreat teachings with cultural elements to help you to understand why so many people are drawn to profound and deep spiritual connection to this magical place. (She studied with a Balinese Healer, Tjokorda Rai in 2012)
Together they will ensure that you leave this retreat feeling nurtured, recharged, focused and restored
