Your Home For 6 Glorious Nights and 7 Days...

Is the village of Tejakula, located on the north east coast of Bali, is where you will relax, rejuvenate and rejoice…

Tejakula means "the light of people".  What better place to lighten your load?

I have hand-picked Gaia Oasis for its beauty, location and nurturing environment. You’ll be nestled on a secluded beachfront in one of eleven uniquely designed Balinese-style bungalows.

The bungalows are beautifully constructed out of bamboo, natural stone and wood, and some have traditional Alang-Alang grass roofs.

The bungalows are uniquely designed to maximise airflow and natural ventilation with open-air bathrooms,  mosquito nets, and your own balcony day-bed.

Think of Julia Roberts in Eat Pray Love.

However, no tourists or touts to be seen!

MORE THAN YOUR AVERAGE RESORT.

Gaia-Oasis is far more than your average beach resort.

As well as being an idyllic retreat location, the resort is a non-profit organisation which works to restore and preserve the environment, culture and education of people in the local village of Tejakula and the surrounding area.

📣HEAR WHAT OTHERS HAVE had to say when they joined US ON RETREAT…📣

A Day On Retreat...

If it is hot and sweaty yoga  you are looking for, you’ve come to the wrong place…

However, if you’re ready to embrace practices that create peace, harmony and bring joy to your body, mind and soul -- you’ve found your perfect retreat!

As the week unfolds, you’ll discover your body is more supple, your mind more peaceful, and your energy restored.  

Best of all, get ready for that mental chatter to drop away, allowing you to go deeper (I’m NOT talking about the splits, or mighty backbends here) and discover an inner peace and joy that resides within.

🔰 Look at what a blissful day on retreat looks like...🔰

• 7am: Imagine yourself as the sun rises over a shimmering blue ocean moving mindfully through postures (nothing too hard), balancing breathing techniques and a mantra meditation that brings about such serenity and a state of inner peace, that you’ll be begging me for more. 🧘‍♀️

• 8.30am: Breakfast is served 🥑

• 10am: Melukat Water Cleansing Ritual to sooth your soul. You’ll be cleansed with holy water infused with sacred flowers, and coconut water while the Balinese priest softly chants mantras over you.  💦

• 12.30pm: Midday pick me up with a Yoga Nidra (profound relaxation).  Yes, you'll be lying down. It is everyone’s favourite. 💤

• 1pm: Lunch is served

• 2pm: Free Time: no retreat is complete without the pampering of a Gaia’s Signature Ocean Bliss 2.5hour relaxing spa package. A full body massage using traditional oils, body scrub and mask, a facial made with natural products made fresh, and finishing with a warm oil scalp massage. Ahh, bliss! 💆🏻‍♀️

• 5pm: Luxuriate in a restorative yoga and meditation class…leaving you replenished, calm and centred. 🧘‍♀️

• 6.00pm: Dinner is served

• 7.30pm: Candle light Meditation or chanting, or a free evening to connect and reflect 🎶

  Really, what isn’t there to love! 💗

A Little About Chetana...

I love to travel and run culturally rich yoga and mantra meditation retreats!

For me, rubbing shoulders with the locals, immersing myself in diverse and spiritually rich cultures, and sharing all that with others is my passion.

It all started back in my 20s when I bought a one-way ticket to Eastern Europe and beyond.

I travelled through Africa, the Middle East and Asia, often well off the beaten track. Oh, what stories I have to share!

Five years later I returned to Australia where I found myself seeking more from life.

I began to work and study in Outdoor Leadership and Guiding where I enjoyed leading people on outdoor adventures throughout Australia.

However, something was still missing, that elusive thing called “happiness”.  Oh, and a third car accident I’d just been involved in, yes three under my belt, this really got me thinking, WHY?

I began to study metaphysics and spiritual healing, and it was only when I discovered yoga and meditation that I found an inner peace and contentment that I had never quite experienced in life.

Before I knew it I had immersed myself in a life of yogic philosophy and lifestyle for the better part of ten years, living within an ashram environment in Australia, India, and a Buddhist centre in Nepal.

Now, all these years later, I’m living my dream -- drawing on all my experiences and sharing these wisdom teachings and spectacular countries with others.

And creating retreats like no other! 😍
