Christmas & New Year in Bali: A Yoga Holiday to Escape the Winter Blues
The holiday season often brings joy, but it can also bring stress, cold weather, and a feeling of exhaustion. If you’re tired of the same old winter routine and want to try something different this year, consider spending Christmas and New Year in Bali. This beautiful island offers the perfect combination of warm sunshine, peaceful beaches, and authentic yoga practice, everything you need to recharge and start the new year feeling your best.
Why Bali is the place to go on your Yoga holiday?
Winter can feel heavy. The cold climate, the short days and the stress of the holidays are known to exhaust us and not make us happy. That is precisely why the growing number of individuals are opting to spend their Christmas and New Year in Bali to swap the snow boots with the yoga mat and winter blues with the Island sunshine.
There is magic in Bali during the festival time. The weather in Bali is the best in the entire world, the sun is shining, the breezes are not so strong and the temperature is not so low that one will feel the necessity to spend most of her time inside. There is no better way to be back to you, to refresh your batteries and start the new year so much fresher.
The Magic of a Christmas Yoga Retreat in Bali
A Christmas yoga retreat Bali experience is not in any way a typical holiday. Rather than being tired of shopping, cooking, and being on call all the time, you will be revitalized with the daily yoga practice, will be fed with the food that is healthy, and will have people around you who are like-minded and want to find the same peace that you are in search of.
We realize that the holidays are supposed to be the times of true relaxation and regeneration at Bali Yoga School. Our retreats will be a combination of real yoga teachings and the energy of the healing power of the Bali natural beauty. You will be practicing yoga in outdoor studios among the green vegetation, you will be meditating with the birds singing and breathing out all the stress of the year.
Find Your Ideal Getaway Destination
Ubud:
Our Ubud yoga retreat is situated in the cultural core of Bali and it is the traditional Balinese wellness experience. Ubud is recognised as a haven of yogis and spiritualists around the globe. This is where you will be among the emerald rice terraces, hundred and old temples and the healing energy that has been drawing visitors over the decades.
The Bali Yoga School Ubud centre is within a 10 minutes walking distance to the lively Ubud marketplace, but remote enough to feel as an actual escape. Wake up with nature, do yoga with the views of the jungles, and use your spare time to visit the waterfalls and sacred temples near the beach or even just to relax in our outdoor swimming pool.
Canggu:
Canggu will be your ideal partner in case you intend to mix your yoga with beach life. This seaside has become a vacation place among wellness enthusiasts who are fond of the ocean. None of you can walk to the beach after a morning yoga session, see the surfers riding on the waves or meditate in front of the sunset with the sound of the sea in the background.
Canggu has everything to be desired in two worlds–serious yoga in a relaxed beachy environment. Healthy cafes, artistic vibrations, and a friendly atmosphere fill the place, and a friendly community makes the solo traveler feel immediately at home.
Uluwatu:
Our Uluwatu yoga retreat is memorable to those who want to experience dramatic beauty and ultimate tranquillity. Think of yoga on top of cliffs and looking out of the sheer Indian ocean that is endlessly watching you. Uluwatu is a beautiful location that involves the integration of beautiful panoramas with a tranquil atmosphere where an individual can meditate and ponder in his/her inner self.
The added advantage of the clifftop site is that you will get the ocean breezes as you practice as well as awesome sunset sceneries to remind you of the importance of this undertaking. It is a perfect place to immerse in the yoga practice and get rid of the day to day naughtiness.
What to expect during your Bali yoga school Retreat
Our retreats are accessible to all levels, a complete beginner or an experienced yogi. You do not have to be flexible or be familiar with fancy poses. You simply have to be willing to turn up on your behalf.
Daily Yoga Practice
Morning yoga is a ritual, which is carried out every morning when the sun comes up and the day is already smiling. We also do actual Hatha and Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga in terms of proper positioning, breathing and meditation. There are professional teachers who are very helpful and give them personal instructions to ensure that everyone feels supported irrespective of the level.
Healing Sessions
We also have healing practices like Reiki and sound medicine besides yoga. This can be done by use of such sessions to relieve the tension and emotional stress stored therein hence with new positive energy as you get into the new year.
Balinese Massage and Wellness.
A Bali retreat would not be complete without a Balinese massage. We have massage therapies which involve ancient methods of relaxing stressed muscles and which rejuvenate the flow of energy in your body as well.
Nourishing Meals
Forget heavy holiday meals that make you feel sluggish. In our healthy, tasty dishes, you will be well fed as well as having your taste buds pleased. We have vegetarian and vegan dishes prepared using fresh local ingredients that provide you with long-term energy through the day.
Why This Christmas Should Be Different
Understandably, at the end of the holiday season most of us require a vacation out of our vacation. We are rushing around during the month of December, overcommitting ourselves and already feeling tired at the beginning of the new year.
This year, you have a different option. Rather than experiencing post-holiday burnout, envision arriving in January with fresh energy, clear thinking and having a real interest in the new year. This is the gift of a Christmas yoga retreat in Bali.
You will not only come home with a tan and vacation pictures. You will leave with practical yoga practices which you can use in your day-to-day lives, a new heightened understanding of meditation and a new awakening of what is actually important in your life.
