Rest In The Beat - Dance Retreat 2026
A Conscious Dance Retreat in Bali
Journey to the paradise island of Bali and step into a week of deep connection, movement, and renewal. Surrounded by lush landscapes and tropical beauty, we gather to slow down, listen inward, and awaken the wisdom of the body.
Dance | Yoga | Meditation | Massage | Swimming | Food | Day Trips And More!
A Week of Embodied Freedom
This retreat is an invitation into delicious movement exploration—a gentle yet profound journey into letting go. Together we soften the habits of pushing and pulling, and open into the ecstasy of surrendering to your own natural rhythm.
Through intuitive yoga, we meet the body with tender yet committed inquiry—opening, relaxing, and releasing into greater physical freedom. As awareness deepens in the body, we explore the Open Floor Movement Practice, offering practical and embodied resources for healthy, conscious living.
Ecstatic Dance brings both depth and joyful release, inviting connection, celebration, and aliveness. These dances form the heart of some of our evenings, held in a warm and supportive community.
Along the way, we weave in morning dance, meditation and yoga, luscious spa massages, swims in the pool, nourishing meals, active meditations, Kirtan, cultural excursions, and spacious free time. Each day offers a balance of structure and flow, activity and rest.
Stepping away from daily life allows us to truly settle into practice—supported by rest, laughter, good food, and beautiful company. Set within the idyllic grounds of a retreat centre in the heart of Bali, the atmosphere is rich with spiritual connection and self-reflection.
There is time for solitude and inward listening, as well as group experiences, shopping, exploration, and further pampering.
