5 night retreat in North Bali 

Revealing wholeness is a study retreat for teachers and students. This retreat is perfect for those who want to learn more about the subtle aspects of yoga and the Self. We will journey inward through practice, enquiry and lectures on the Panchamaya model. You will gain a deeper understanding of your true nature.

Pancha – meaning five  – Maya – All pervading

The mayas are viewed as different beautiful manifestations of our essential universal nature. According to yoga philosophy this is know as Atma the unbounded, universal Oneness of all that exists.  

Together we will explore the theory and practice of applying the tools of yoga and Ayurveda to support the individual. If you are teaching yoga private yoga sessions can add a new dimension to your offerings. We are committed to assisting you to build confidence and skills in this area.
