This was a beautiful week of great food, people, and yoga in an amazing
paradise like setting. The yoga classes were diverse and run by great
knowledgeable and passionate teachers. My love and knowledge of
yoga has deepened and I feel very happy and relaxed after such a fun,
relaxing and strengthening week.

Wow! What an amazing experience! A week away in Bali with high vibe yoga classes & food,wonderful teachers and an opportunity to make wonderful friendships. If you have been feeling tired, lacking in energy, need a week away to lift your spirits then get your butt to Bali and join Emily & Bex to feel renewed, energized and catch some seriously high vibes. I so needed this week away and am so grateful for the manifestation of this wonderful retreat. I will be back!!!

TEACHERS:
Emily has been practicing yoga for over 15 years and teaching yoga for 7. She has studied thousands of hours with incredibly respected Anusara, Shadow, Ashtanga and Jivamukti instructors worldwide. Emily has lived in Ubud, Bali, Indonesia for over 3 years teaching yoga at ARMA Resort & Museum, The Yoga Barn and to Balinese children and their families throughout Ubud. As one of the managers for the incredible Bali Spirit Festival, an epic festival of dance, yoga and music, Emily has assisted in the management of over 400 world musicians, global yogis, respected meditation gurus, scholars and dancer from every corner of the world. Prior to living in Indonesia, Emily was a writer for LA Yoga magazine in Los Angeles, CA covering community projects and interviewing California’s lovely yogis while teaching regular yoga classes along the California coast. Emily loves to weave storytelling, proper alignment and high vibes into her yoga teachings.
Bex – With a background in Development studies, journalism and social work, Bex’s approach to yoga is one that honors the need for individual self study with the aim of improving interpersonal relations and communication. Bex has studied yoga asana, meditation, pranayama and philosophy since 2001. After completing her Yoga Teacher Training Course in Dharmasala, India, Bex teaches group and private classes in a wide range of environments from the slums of Kolkata to the paradise of Bali. Teaching a diverse selection of styles including her ‘full power celebration of life’ Hatha Vinyasa Flow to the much gentler and nourishing Yin and Restorative yoga. She is also studying a unique combination of partner yoga combined with acrobatics and thai massage to focus on themes of trust, communication and social unity. Bex believes yoga has something for everyone. Her belief in a common humanity is reflected through her original yoga classes where she shares lessons learned while building upon inspirational themes of cooperation, peace and justice. She works to bring the study of yoga off the mat and into the practice of life.
Ashley – Beyond her certifications as a raw food and vegan chef, it’s Ashley’s passion for conscious health and nutrition that has guided her ongoing studies of culinary creations and nutrition since 2004. On the magical islands of Bali and Maui, she has created high vibe foods and menus for retreats and has evolved as a personal chef and teacher to many incredible people from coast to coast. Ashley is certified by master chef Elaina Love, and has assisted her in the training of up and coming chefs. In her spare moments, Ashley loves spending time laughing and creating foods with her vibrant, four-year-old daughter, Zaida.
Kate is an Anusara Inspired yoga teacher honored to be currently teaching yoga in Istanbul, Turkey. She began practicing yoga in New York City at Jivamukti Yoga 10 years ago. She has since been studying under many gifted and amazing teachers. Though Kate has studied a variety of different styles in Hong Kong, Europe and the U.S., she focused most of her training with Chris Chavez in Anusara. She was drawn to Anusara due to its elegant yoking of clear alignment instruction and uplifting philosophy. Kate has been deeply influenced by John Friend, Sarah Powers, Patrick Creelman, Chris Chavez, Jules Febres, Shelle Jackson and Tias LIttle among many others (pretty much everyone she knows.). She has also trained in yoga therapeutics with John Friend, founder of Anusara, and Yogilates with Johnathan Urla. She plays music during her class and hopes they are challenging,as well as playful. They sometimes flow, sometimes are more workshopy. Either way, she will encourage you to work hard while focusing on breathing, opening, and curiosity of body and self. She believes that practicing yoga with awareness, love, gratitude and forgiveness can be a path to healing body,heart and mind.
