In the hustle and bustle of fast-paced living, finding quiet moments to reconnect with ourselves seems at times an impossibility. But now you can leave everything behind and join Samdhana Yoga in the wilds of Bali for an extraordinary deep dive into mindfulness practice while immersing in the heart of Mother Nature.
We are thrilled to announce our brand-new mindfulness retreat and teacher training, “Journey Towards Stillness”, from October 15-26, 2024, in Bali, Indonesia.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to uplevel your practice through direct, embodied experience, that is, learning by doing and simply be-ing. Practice, supported by Q and A based on direct experience, well-curated lectures, and opportunities to apply mindfulness in several situations will make for a unique and extraordinary journey towards greater Awareness.

or refine personal practic - those wanting to incorporate mindfulness techniques and practice into their current teachin

About the retreat center:
Calling all Nature lovers!
Enjoy peace and tranquility amidst the surround sounds and vibrancy of the local Balinese birds, cicadas, frogs, geckos and chanting priests.
Prana Dewi Retreat Center is located 1.7 km below the famous temple, Pura Luhur, near Mount Batukaru. Enveloped by the organic rice fields, this UNESCO World Heritage site will be your home away from home. Prana Dewi provides a conducive environment for embodied learning. In the off time, you can enjoy a dip in the freshwater pool sourced from the mountain, walk barefoot in the rice fields, meander through the property or relax on your porch overlooking the gardens. This is your opportunity to get back to Nature and return home to yourself, digital-free and under expert guidance.
