10-day Yoga Retreat in Bali
with MARITZA

APRIL 20 - 29 2024

Deepen your Yoga Practice with a Master-Teacher, on the mystical "Island of the Gods" and lavish your Self while staying in exquisite Settings.

BALI
Known as the Island of the Gods, Bali is an extraordinary place, a mystical vortex of spiritual energy, where the earth's magnetic fields converge and produce a higher frequency of consciousness that attracts soul searchers, holistic practitioners and artists from all over the world. A bustling hub of creativity, this lush and stunning tropical island is bejeweled with powerful sacred sites and hundreds of small temples animated by a vibrant culture. A place where artful rituals and beautiful ceremonies are performed daily in reverence for the spirit world by the graceful Balinese people. This… along with the gentle sound of gamelan music often heard in the background and the subtle whiffs of encens floating in the open air, is the rich and unique atmosphere that infuses life in Bali. Against this magic backdrop, the Body & Soul Revival Retreat is a profound awakening of all senses unfolding from Day-One. Bali is Maritza’s second home and a favourite place on earth for over three decades.

THE RETREAT OVERVIEW
This exciting yet deeply nourishing Journey will be centered around the structure of twice-daily, well-balanced, alignment based and mindfully paced yoga classes (except for one open day). The yoga sessions throughout this retreat are structured to accommodate all levels yoga practitioners-with previous experience of fundamental postures -regardless of individual physical capacity. Our practice takes place in gorgeous yoga pavillions, with props provided. The daily schedule will establish a wonderful counter-balance of revitalizing physical practice, rejuvenating relaxation and self-reflection with customed cultural adventures and free time. You will have enough hours in the day to wander on your own, lounge by the gorgeous pools or by the seaside nearly at your doorstep on our second venue. Two luxurious spa treatments of choice are included. You will take part in some memorable group excursions with private guides and local holy priest-(ess), all curated and hand-picked by Maritza. Ubud is a mecca for wellness centers, charming cafes and uncommon little boutiques with very affordable prices and you will surely want to explore the local market with your retreat friends. Incorporated in this memorable adventure is your attendance to some cultural activities, such as a mesmerizing traditional fire dance, a powerful water purification ritual, a visit to one of Bali’s breathtaking waterfall, a sunset rice field stroll to a stunning tea temple with fragrant tea tasting, guided early morning treks through ravishing vistas, and much more... All these delightful, expertly guided activities are comprised in the tuition, yet all are optional. A la carte choice of daily Breakfast and full Dinners are included and will bring us together around the table twice daily, (either on resort site or in one of Maritza’ favourite local restaurants) for super fresh, elegant, delicious meals. All this… before retiring in your lovely suite at night. Dietary restrictions and preferences will be thoughtfully accommodated. Lunches are on one’s own to allow daytime freedom (One group lunch is included on transition day).

THE VENUES

UBUD
For the first five nights, we'll be staying in the central part of the island in UBUD, the cultural and artisctic center of Bali. at a boutique Resort nestled at the base of the jungle, amidst lush green rice terraces. Designed upon holistic principles with the luxurious, soothing touch of the French artist-owner, the peaceful haven lends an invitation to unwind body and soul in the spiritual heart of Bali. One of the highlight of this unique resort is the amazing Yoga Shala -a perfectly shaded, intricate model of balinese architecture, with a small creek streaming just below, inspiring calm and refection. The lavish guests Villas are built with antique Javanese carved wood and remastered with cutting edge design, combining the sobriety of natural material like wood and lava stone, with the sophistication of contemporary luxury. Most suites feature a lounging area and large windows to soak up the lovely gardens, the curvy infinity pool or the luscious jungle. The bathrooms are like mini-spas and the beds are just as plush, kitted out with premium bedding and draped in feather-light mosquito-nets. Double and Single suites available.

NORTH COAST

Flying to Bali is a wonderful adventure from the start and yes, it’s a long flight but it’s exciting!.. and the experience of landing in Bali’s enchanting culture with the unique change of scenery is guaranteed to be well-worth traveling to the East. I personally love flying to Asia and I can share airline preferences and travel tips… Regardless, you’ll feel so well taken care of and lavished once you arrive, that it really won’t matter.

A Zoom group meeting will be scheduled with Maritza to answer questions about travel, what-to-bring, and more… Maritza will address any concern and offer recommendations based on previous experience. Please email: maritza@maritzayoga.com for meeting time and Zoom link.
