The Landscape of Myth - A Journey into the Heart of Bali through Yoga & Culture

Join Matt Champoux and Sara Hess in legendary Bali, where a sense of the sacred permeates all aspects of daily life. We will dive into the myths and metaphors of Yoga, which are vibrantly reflected throughout the ordinary life of Bali. We will explore beautiful cultural sites in and around Ubud, and learn how the myths and archetypes of human experience are embodied in asana practice. Daily practice is oriented towards all levels of students and is a mix of Alignment focused Vinyasa, Ashtanga Vinyasa, pranayama and meditation. 
 

Set back into the verdant rice fields our retreat center for the week will provide the perfect environment for this deep and nourishing work. You will enjoy beautifully decorated rooms, delicious vegetarian meals and excursions to some of Bali’s most colorful markets and sacred local temples. The Bali Institute, Ubud’s premiere cultural organization, will guide us on our outings to observe ancient spiritual practices and meet community leaders and dignitaries to develop a better understanding of this unique culture.

Bali holds a very special place in Matt and Sara's heart and they can not wait to share it with you. Join Matt and Sara for an unforgettable time on this world-class yoga retreat!
