Sow the Seeds of Change with Rachel Roberts
30 Apr - 6 May 2023
Yoga
This retreat is suitable for all levels of practitioners and includes daily yoga asana classes based on Ashtanga/Vinyasa (morning practices) and yin yoga (evening practices). Meditations will be based in Buddhist traditions with mantra, mudra and journaling offerings included.
The Place
Oneworld’s holistic retreat lies in the hills of Ubud, Bali – about 1.5 km away from the hustle and bustle of the village center. This retreat is peaceful and serene, bordered by a small creek to the west and surrounded by jungle and rice fields. And it is probably the only retreat centre in the world with a palace in its backyard!
We offer 12 comfortable and spacious rooms, a dining room, a yoga shala open to nature as well as a treatment center where you can enjoy high-quality treatments.
You will find lush gardens and pavilions to relax and indulge in the beautiful views. Should you wish to explore Ubud during your free time, we offer a shuttle service to the center of town.
Each room is air-conditioned and has its own terrace/balcony and bathroom. Comfortable yet unpretentious. For our guests’ ultimate serenity, we welcome guests of a minimum age of 14 years.
Meals
Our experienced chefs cook fresh, healthy, and delicious dishes, infused with love. All dietary requirements can be catered for. Most of your meals are included and are eaten together with the group in our beautiful jungle dining room, or can be served on your private balcony. Some meals will be at outside locations. Your personalized itinerary will include details of all meals.
Treatments
Part of your journey includes receiving healing treatments from our skilled therapists. Some treatments are inclusive in your retreat. Other treatments are available onsite—see our treatments menu.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a yoga retreat and a Panchakarma detox program?
Yoga retreats are led by our in-house or guest yoga teachers. Each teacher offers different styles of yoga, teaching and experiences—some retreats include trips around the island or a deeper dive into your personal development. As part of your retreat you will have a choice of Ayurvedic or traditional treatments and be served delicious, healthy meals throughout. With a variety of retreats on offer you can find one that is perfectly suited to your needs.
A Panchakarma Detox Program is directed by our Ayurvedic doctors, who upon arrival will assess your bio-energy (Dosha) and create a tailored program to restore balance and address any health conditions you may have. While you will still practice yoga, it is a softer form of yoga as during a Panchakarma you can’t exert yourself too much. Similarly, during a Panchakarma gentle walks around the surrounding area are fine, but trips into town or further away should be avoided as external stimuli can affect the healing process.
You will have twice-daily Ayurvedic treatments and eat a variety of nutritious and balancing Ayurvedic meals as prescribed by our doctors.
Should I bring anything special for retreats?
Once the reservation is confirmed we send an information email to our guests. It is necessary to bring your own yoga clothing. There are clothes designed especially for yoga, stretchy top, and pants. However, one can practice yoga without these. A t-shirt and pair of shorts are fine for yoga. If the retreat includes a blessing ceremony we suggest that you take along a white shirt with sleeves.
We have enough yoga mats at the centre, yet you may want to bring your own. We also have a shop selling an assortment of eco-friendly TPE mats and Natural Rubber mats, as well as yoga clothing and supplies to assist you in your yoga practice!
I am pregnant – can I still join a retreat?
Not all yoga styles practiced in the retreats are suitable for expecting mothers. Of course, you may join a retreat, but we strongly recommend that you get approval from your doctor beforehand. During the retreat, you can adjust your poses based on your capability but it is important that you understand that you are responsible for any risks you are taking.
What is the minimum age for retreats?
The yoga retreats are open for people aged14 years and above.
