If you really want a special treat, come be a part of the Balinese New Year festivities including the Ogah-Ogah parades and take part in Nyepi, a day of silent reflection during the Shanti, Shanti, Bali yoga retreat hosted by Maria Santoferraro of The Daily Downward Dog this coming March 12-18, 2018.

#Repost @jessmaguire_mindfulnessteacher (@get_repost) ・・・ Have you ever met a perfect person? . We don’t live in a perfect world yet our inner critic expects us to never make a mistake. . I think back to my pre-mindfulness days when I owned my physio practice. If things weren’t at the level I thought they should be (perfect), I heard that inner voice start with its judgments and tell me all the different ways I should have approached something. I feel a soul sadness knowing how many of my days were filled with suffering because of the voice of my inner critic... I think I found something I hadn’t done quite right almost every day. I thought this was how I’d get better. I was just doing the best I could at the time with the skills and knowledge I had. I couldn’t see the goodness of all the people I was helping, I was only paying attention to how I’d not met my perfect standards. I am profoundly grateful to have learnt mindfulness. Most of my days now have a lot more freedom and lightness work-wise. They are often filled with trying something new, being creative, taking a risk, not personalising everything as my fault and letting myself be human! The reality is none of us are ever going to be perfect. But to what degree does your inner critic expect perfection from you? ⠀⠀ 📷 I feel this photo is so appropriate. From my practice of mindfulness I began listening to what my heart truly wanted. And it was to create retreats like this! My friend Cassie and I joined forces. I remember at the start my inner critic filled me with doubt about our Bali Retreat ever working. Imagine if I had of listened to it! How much would I, and everyone else who came along have missed out on? #balilove #visitbali #thisisindonesia #thebaliguideline #yoga #yogaeverydamnday #yogalove #yogainspiration #yogisofinstagram #iamwellandgood #practicenotperfection #thesweatlife #spiritualgangster #seekthesimplicity #littlestoriesofmylife #livethelittlethings #makeitblissful #meetthemoment #choosejoy

#Repost @yogagirlswagger (@get_repost) ・・・ A big thank you to all who joined my recent Bali retreat!! Thank you for rearranging your life, flying across the universe and embarking upon an epic adventure with Jay and I. We are grateful! The day of this photograph, we spent an hour learning about Balinese culture and about the Balinese ritual of daily offer making. We were led through a class on how to make our own offerings and learned the significance of each material and the meaning behind the placement and color of each flower. It was both educational and fun!

MANDALA YOGA BALI RETREAT: Nov 5-11 http://balifloatingleaf.com/retreat_packages/mandala-yoga-retreat/ Here is what Mandala had to say about their upcoming retreat… Mandala Yoga is very excited to be hosting our 5th yoga retreat to Bali November 5-11, 2018. A STEP INTO PARADISE… What could be better than a trip to Bali? How about a trip to Bali with twice daily yoga classes and featuring a week at the beautiful Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat. And I do believe calling it “luxury” is an understatement. Daily yoga classes will be practiced on our round Mandala Yoga Mats, led by Desiree Kleemann, creator of these mats. Classes will be held in the open-air outdoor yoga pavilion with sweeping 360 degree views of the rice fields, Indian Ocean and outlying islands. In the morning you’ll flow through a practice on a beautiful round mat (yours to take home), and in the late afternoon it will be gentle and restorative. Each class is tailor made around a music playlist that will take you on a journey, from your first yogic breath to the stillness of Savasana. Floating leaf is located on the southeast side of the island, situated amidst serene rice paddies with the Indian Ocean and beautiful beach’s a short walk away. The retreat center is nestled between the villages of Sukawati and Pantai Purnama, away from the busy roads of other communities in Bali. The beautifully appointed rooms have private bathrooms with the option of single or double accommodations. As well as a healing pool with chromo therapy lighting, there is a delicious restaurant where we will share 3 meals a day, a beautiful spa where you will receive a 60 minute massage included in the price of your retreat package, and quiet places to sit, reflect or read. #BaliYoga #baliyogaretreat #yogaretreat (at Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat)

#Repost @yogagirlswagger (@get_repost) ・・・ Thank you to this lovely yogini, @swellner for joining us in Bali for an epic yoga retreat led by Jay and I. We love your joie de vivre, Sam! One of the most important legs of our yoga retreat was the opportunity to visit Balinese refugees who have been displaced by an impending eruption. We brought goods from home such as books, toys, bubbles, clothes, and candy. We donated money, but what was most appreciated by the officials and refugees was our willingness to drop in and play with the children. One of the biggest factors in selecting Bali and our yoga retreat center was the opportunity to do this kind of karma yoga. 🙏🙏 Thank you @balifloatingleafretreat Pic Repost from @swellner #baliyoga #bali #igyogi #yogaretreat #yogagram #travelbug #travelgram #bestplacestogo #yogalife #instayogi #urbanyoga #yogateacher #yogainspo #inspirationnation #karma #karmayoga #giveback #grateful #refugee #livelife (at Floating Leaf Eco-Luxury Retreat)
