Now in our eighth year (yeah!) our retreats are perfect for men and women who feel exhausted, overworked, tired or simply need some time out to rest, replenish, restore and rejuvenate.

Your individual needs are taken into total consideration so we can maximize your rest and rejuvenation experience. Numbers are kept small with maximum 8 participants.

“I look forward to holding the space for you to feel nurtured, rested and deeply supported” Carole Fogarty

What you can expect:

Morning classes are a gentle combination of  very tranquil and soft restorative yoga, mindful breathing exercises, hand mudra’s, mantra’s, sound medicine, meditation, and other ancient calming practices all aimed at encouraging your mind and body to let go – unwind and experience deep, deep relaxation.

When the body is deeply relaxed it will automatically start to balance and heal itself.

Daily, yes daily specialized body treatments that I have personally hand selected.  Body treatments will be tailored as needed. Include Ayurvedic and Balinese therapeutic massages.

No yoga experience needed at all.  If you can lay on your back then you can enjoy restful, restorative yoga.  This tranquil yoga uses blankets and bolsters to encourage your body to let go and relax even more deeply.

Early evening yoga nidra sessions – a body awareness meditation experienced whilst laying on your back in savansana

Walking meditation to a divine secluded organic lunch in the middle of rice fields -unique experience

“Bali is beautiful and the senses are saturated in ubuds sacredness but what makes this retreat so rejuvenating is Carole who is a true gem.

Air travel:

The airport you will be flying into is Denpasar Airport Bali.

Organise with your local travel agent or book on-line.  If coming from Australia  with air asia (if traveling from Perth),  jetstar or virginblue.  Please contact Carole if you need assistance or suggestions for your travel arrangements.  Carole has traveled many times to  Bali and always with her children so she has a little experience up her sleeve, should you have any questions.

If you are travelling from America stopping in Hong Kong seems to be the quickest and preferred route than many participants choose to take.  Denpasar airport is a very busy airport and most airlines fly there.
