From March 19 – 28

This unique pre-festival retreat includes private yoga sessions to help develop and refine your personalized yoga practice, bringing together a number of yoga traditions depending on your needs.

In group yoga classes we sometimes find ourselves practicing asana, yoga styles, sequences and breathing exercises that are not always best suited to own health needs, stress levels or personal growth goals. Combining group and private classes with workshops, this retreat will give you the skills to practice intelligent yoga poses with possible modifications during group led classes, and more importantly you will develop the tools to support your self-practice, perhaps making you less dependent on attending classes in order to do yoga.

At this retreat you will have an option to extend your stay for 4 more nights so that you can attend the Bali Spirit Festival! The BaliSpirit Festival, takes place from Wednesday night March 23 – Sunday March 27: it is an annual celebration of yoga, dance and music. Tickets can be bought on their website.

Quality family time in BALI

AUGUST 8 – 13, 2010

ONEWORLD retreats – Kumara is one of the only few places that offers the opportunity for both parents and children to practice Yoga and relax in the beauty of an inspiring environment. Besides being the best island in the world, Bali is filled with traditions and wisdom.

Our intention is to offer families opportunities to live memorable experiences during and after the journey. Discovering a far away culture that embraces ancient traditions and modern comfort helping to support our search for our true potential in a nurturing environment.

By mixing with less fortunate Balinese natives, western kids have the opportunity to discover a reality that should undeniably help them express feeling of sharing, compassion, open their eyes and hearts to gratefulness and thankfulness.

The Living from the Inside Out retreat is designed with the issues in mind that face all of us in some form today – that is, offering skills to help attain and maintain health, balance and quality of life while at the same time meeting the necessary demands and pressures of our modern lifestyles and is suitable for anyone who wishes to learn to live in calm and focused tranquility.

An interactive program designed to empower us in living our best life – reducing stress and increasing wellbeing – to live from the inside out – in calm and focused tranquility. An optional feature of this program will include Reiki I training and attunement.

Living from the inside out will explore ancient Yogic philosophies, teachings, techniques and universal principles -; connecting us with our heart, enabling us to reach a state of calm, then to maintain that state of calm for as long as possible, and so experience the effects in our life…our health, our relationships, our work, our contribution to life and living.
Thus we go within, find our truth (our heart), and come out with that, and so live our life from that place of truth (heart)…. living from the inside out…. Knowing that each time we lose heart (our truth) and it is part of life that we will… we have the skills and knowledge to go back inside, access it again, and live from it again… and so it goes. That is the nature of the universe – waves ofcontraction and expansion – the Yin and Yang of life – and so we live in harmony and flow with life, (instead of resisting it) experiencing the empowerment that comes with calm control of our life (masters of our destiny) at the same time, attaining improved overall health and wellbeing through raising personal vibrations, improving our immune system and organ function, leading to increased energy and vitality, happiness and longevity.

As an optional extra life management and healing tool for self and others, Reiki I training, initiations and attunements are also offered. This is an accredited training (which if done outside of this retreat can be quite costly). All participants in Reiki I will gain a certificate which will enable them if they wish, to be a Reiki I practitioner. Alternatively participants may simply practise Reiki on themselves, friends, family or simply be in it just for the experience – it is all a personal choice.

The retreat maintains a calm relaxed, ‘do as you please’ vibe. You can choose to participate in everything or daydream all day! While we will be keeping you busy in the morning there are other activities to explore at your own leisure. Often these activities will be organized for the group if there is sufficient interest including snorkeling, bush walking, Balinese cooking classes, spa treatments and silver jewelry shopping. Our retreats continue to please and remain a valuable and unique experience for those who have joined us in the past.
