Follow your intuition to the Island of Gods - Bali, Indonesia. This retreat is a celebration of life with the intention of stepping into your highest level of vitality. Nova Yoga is blessed to be collaborating with world renowned retreat center, Soul Shine, in the heart of Bali, Indonesia.

Each day, you will practice yoga as medicine, have a number of inspiring excursions, and workshops to learn and grow throughout the week. The workshops include an introduction to holistic yoga, guided meditative journeys, kirtan sound healing, cultural dinner and fire ceremony, exploration of spiritual archetypes to awaken your inner Shakti, and other surprises.

You have the luxury of high end accommodations with organized transportation into the town of Ubud. You will visit some of the most beautiful waterfalls and beaches in the world and enjoy a reset in the company of a conscious community. Diala and Aaliya will bring you on a metaphysical journey through the traditional mythology teachings of yoga via storytelling throughout their classes. Uncover through spiritual archetypes where your own blockages may be, so that you can illuminate and rise to your highest self.  

Your guides, E-RYT 500 Aaliya Noorani and Diala Hamed, met in the foothills of the Himalayas while studying advanced traditional Hatha Yoga in Rishikesh, India. Both add their own spice and flavor to the practice yet infuse tradition to open the channels for your inner light to shine forth. 

Bali has a way of showing us exactly what we need to see the moment we land on the island. The ancient culture here is known for its warm hospitality and exotic temples laid against the natural beauty of lush terraced rice fields, looming volcanos, and an energy that exudes peace and serenity. Are you ready to lift the veils and be lit up with the love, light, and joy that your heart is silently beckoning? Are you ready to be illuminated?
