a sample day:

Every day is different. For example some days we head out for most of the day to explore, returning in the afternoon in time for yoga. Other days we may be out for a half day. Most days we eat lunch and dinner together as a group although there is also free time to explore the many cafes and shops.
On free evenings there's many wonderful Balinese music and dance shows to enjoy.

Staying at the picturesque Honeymoon Guesthouse with a lovely pool for lazing by, we’re situated on the town’s edge for easy access to the Ubud markets and an array of great shops and restaurants. The rooms are spacious with ensuites and there's an in-house day spa and wonderful cafe. Ubud is a vibrant artists village full of wonderful art & cultural experiences, museums and galleries located about 50 minutes drive north west of Seminyak Beach and the international airport.

BALI RETREAT TESTIMONIALS

"If you have come so far that you are reading the testimonials.... book the retreat!!! You will not be disappointed. The bali retreat provides the perfect environment to get away from it all, spoil yourself, meet new people, spend time on your own, and develop your yoga practice. Jessie and her facilitators are very professional and inspiring."
Melissa, 27, Doctor

“Jessie’s yoga knowledge was incredible, her guidance reassuring. The treatments were enlightening and healing. Bali a wonderful place. Thank you to the teachers and students for a fulfilling week.”
Lynne, 48, Pharmacist / Gymnastic Coach

“Our aim was to have time away together somewhere where we could relax yet be active. This yoga week in Bali has surpassed all our expectations with its people, beauty and intensity. We have renewed, relaxed and reenergized.”
Roger, 48, Dentist

“I came to the retreat not knowing what to expect, but looking for inspiration. Well, I definitely found that inspiration! The teachers were wonderful and created a harmonious, non-judgmental, serene environment. I feel recharged and invigorated and look forward to developing my own yoga practice. I would definitely recommend the retreat and would love to return.”
Georgia, 35, Finance Manager

"An amazing week with amazing people.  Jessie and her facilitators created the perfect environment to promote both enthusiasm and peace.  My yoga has improved dramatically through Jessie’s daily instruction and the adjustment of her very knowledgeable facilitators.  I think this may become an annual pilgrimage!"
Pip, 33, Corporate Affairs Manager

"The Bali retreat was excellent with the perfect mix of yoga and tourism. The yoga itself catered to all levels and Jessie and her facilitators were excellent at providing hands on assistance to those who needed it (I was one!). I think the supervision really helped advance my practise. Ubud and its surroundings were also a highlight and somewhere I would readily return. The accommodation was fantastic and the organised non-yoga activities were a breath of fresh air. The food was wonderful and whole retreat was flexible - I never felt that I was caught up in a lettuce-eating yoga boot-camp, in fact, it was nothing like it."
Simon, 35, Research Analyst

"A well-balanced, nurturing retreat where it's all about You! Jessie Chapman's Yoga sessions are effective and versatile, making sure that everyone of any yoga level will get the most out of their practice. I realised that in only one week I can improve my flexibilty, attempt new postures and learn to listen to my body's capabilites and limits. Combined with pampering Spa treatments and Jessie's local knowledge of the area, this retreat will leave you feeling renewed, empowered and ready to face the world again!"
Anna, 27, Spa Management

"The week in Bali has been journey of self discovery and reflection.  I arrived anxious, stressed and tired and I left feeling lighter, happier and clearer in my mind having learnt so much about myself.  Thanks to Jessie and the wonderful group of people on the retreat, the practise of yoga, meditation and eating a healthy diet are now part of me and my everyday living.  Through meeting these beautiful people I have gained so much inspiration and knowledge about yoga and life that I have made many positive changes to my own lifestyle.  This retreat was like chicken soup for the soul.  Thank you again so much - I can't wait to return to the next one!"
Gemma, 33, Teacher - Bali Retreat

"Along with my two sisters and mother, we recently treated ourselves to an amazing week in Bali with Jessie and facilitators. Being totally removed from our 9 children and daily routines we were able to submerse ourselves into yoga practice and achieve a inner peace and relaxation (4xfull body massages did help!), that we have not had since the children arrived. We are beginners at yoga and we were thrilled at our improvements within the week through the support and guidance of Jessie and facilitators. I can not recommend this retreat more highly."
Marcelle, 35, Heath and PE Teacher

“It has been a privilege to experience this gift of teaching, learning and healing. I leave with a strong commitment to follow my yoga practice and my own goals, and an open heart to all that comes my way.”
Donata, 36, Restaurateur, Café & Gallery owner

“Thank you for a wonderful retreat. My yoga, core strength, breathing and focus have definitely improved AND I feel radiant! Mission accomplished. Well done! I will be back.”
Yvette McPherson, 44, Chiropractor

“The standout thing for me on this retreat was slowing down my pace. I was so wound up on arrival that the yoga, food (and company), beautiful setting and unbelievable pampering treatments completely bought me peace. I can’t thank you enough. I feel completely rejuvenated.”
Martine, 29, Editor

“I came away from the retreat feeling energized and pleased with my improvement. It was a really peaceful retreat. Thank you for a wonderful experience.”
Karen, 37, Corporate Banking

"Radiance Retreat is led extremely well.  Jesse and the facilitators have what it takes to relax ones mind, body and spirit.  The retreat was so much more than I anticipated.  I highly recommend this retreat without reservation."
Rebecca, 44, Housewife

“Let yourself experience an indulgent week. Forget time and worry and let yourself go. These yoga sessions will only bring you closer to a magic experience.”
Sharon, 46, Executive Assistant

'I planned this escape after going through a tough time and thought it was time to give something to ‘me’. Jessie and Lee were amazing and provided classes to cater for all yoga abilities; adequate support to ensure correct technique and just a genuine open trusting environment both physically and emotionally. Jessie plans all her classes and it is never boring each day works on something different. I met some amazing like minded people. I would definitely do it again!'
Kelly, 26, Social Worker - Bali Yoga Spa Wellness Retreat

“Being in the tropics, eating wholesome food, exercising daily and being pampered was definitely the right ingredients to revamp the feeling of relaxation and happiness. To wake and commence yoga at 6am was calming, the massages and body treatments allowed more time for my mind and body to release built up tension. By the end of the Radiance Retreat there was a great sense of achievement as my yoga had progressed and I had had a wonderful time by myself and in the company of wonderful people”.
Karen, Travel Agent – Bali Retreat
