Yoga in Daily Life Retreat in Ubud Bali
4 - 11 July 2026
Dear Friends,
we invite you to join us on this blissful week away. With the warm, peaceful atmosphere and healing energies of Bali as our backdrop we will explore the wondrous practices and teachings of yoga.
Our intention is to offer an immersion into asana, pranayama, relaxation, meditation and satsang without the distractions of our regular life, the opportunity to explore your own practice more deeply, touching the wisdom of your heart. Practices are supported with guidance in the sessions plus opportunities to talk with the teachers and time to integrate your own experiences. All this balanced with ample free time to relax and do nothing or to explore the stunning tropical natural surrounds and vibrant culture of Ubud.
We've retreated to Bali before, see here 2023, 2019, 2024 & 2025. We love it so much we are going again and increased our stay from 6 to 7 nights! We are back at the Shala Bali, a tropical sanctuary hidden in the heart of Ubud, surrounded by rice paddies & coconut trees! Hope you can join us, it is going to be wonderful!
Our 2026 program includes:
ALL THINGS YOGA
Morning and afternoon asana (yoga class). Guided meditation. Guided pranayama (breath work). Guided yoga nidra (deep relaxation).
One or two mornings (10am-ish) Swami Madhuram will lead a workshop.
Yoga in Daily Life is a traditional hatha style of yoga. The level we practice will depend on who attends, but usually it is a mix and therefore choices and options are given so you can practice as you need.
All levels of yoga experience are welcome. Anyone not familiar with Yoga in Daily Life is also welcome. Families are welcome too. You are invited to take the retreat at your own pace doing as much or little as you need to find your own balance and well-being.
Yoga in Daily Life was developed by Paramhans Swami Maheshwarananda (Vishwaguruji), an authentic Yoga Master who hails from a long lineage of great Indian Masters.
INSPIRATION + WISDOM
Each evening Swami Madhuram will lead a Satsang, a special program dedicated for sharing the wisdom of yoga. It includes an inspiring talk, maybe some chanting and meditation. Yoga teachings and wisdom will be woven into the program to deepen our experience. Coupled with discussion and reflection to make it relevant for each of us to integrate into our daily life.
NOURISHMENT
Buffet breakfast at the Shala cafe every morning.
And dinner everyday.
All the meals we provide will be yogic vegetarian and vegan.
FREE TIME
This retreat is not an intensive as there will also be ample periods of free time for relaxing and enjoying.

SOCIAL CONNECTION
Enjoy making new friends and connecting with like minded people.
