Welcome to this journey through the heart of Bali and the turquoise shores of Gili Air, a sacred blend of inner stillness and outer exploration for the New Year.
This 9 day retreat is a heartfelt invitation to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with your most authentic self. Through daily yoga, meditation, and inner reflection practices, we will gently peel away the layers of fear, judgment, and limitation that hold us back from fully loving and accepting ourselves.
A curated balance of structure and freedom. We take care of your stay, breakfast, and lunch and day activties. Daily guided practices of yoga and meditation followed by organized group activities during the day, while you’re free to explore on your own in the evenings and enjoy local restaurants at your own pace.
A retreat not focused on fixing or improving ourselves, but on gently accepting and loving what is. Creating space for new possibilities and inner qualities to naturally blossom.
Guided by local family and friends, we’ll be immersed into the heart of Balinese culture, experiencing sacred temples and time-honored ceremonies in their most authentic form.
The Itinerary
We want to really immerse ourselves in the culture and with the poeple of Bali, this is why instead of travelling to a different city each day, we will visit two main areas and spend four nights in each one. Ubud, situated in the center of Bali, and Gili Air a small island where time stands still.

We start our journey in the lush jungle of Ubud, surrounded by temples and ancient wisdom, we’ll ground ourselves in presence. Ubud is a vibrant spiritual heart of Bali.

GILI AIR

In this island we will welcome the New Year with our own beach ceremony. Gili Air is a very small island where there are no cars or motorbikes, the silence of this small paradise invites you to follow your own pace and your own path.
We will move around with bicycles or by foot. The practice continues with the rhythm of the ocean waves, barefoot living, and snorkeling among turtles and coral reefs – reminding us of the beauty of simplicity and the freedom of being.

Yoga & Meditation
We will practice a blend of Vinyasa and Hatha yoga, open to all levels and experiences. Surrounded by nature, we’ll deepening self-awareness and cultivating self-love.
The physical practice will simply be a tool for self- exploration and expression. In each movement, in each breath, in each pause there is the potential to embrace ourselves completely. Let’s!
Together, we’ll explore the freedom that comes from setting conscious, respectful boundaries—with honesty and compassion for ourselves and others—while nurturing a more intimate and uplifting relationship with ourselves.
All of this unfolds within a grounded, heart-centered spirituality that invites us to connect with our inner world, foster coherence, and discover our own unique, meaningful way of relating to the soul.
LET`S MAKE IT HAPPEN!

Meet the host
Mireia Castellsagué
This retreat is truly personal to me. Over the past three years, Bali has deeply nurtured my heart, and sharing that feeling is the inspiration behind this journey.
I’ve been practicing and teaching yoga and meditation for over 20 years, and it remains the path through which I explore myself and the world. I am a Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500. I’ve also run a yoga studio and retreat center for the past two decades, organizing teacher trainings, retreats, and festivals—most notably the Barcelona Yoga Conference, which I co-founded with my two brothers. I love traveling, discovering new cultures, and most of all, connecting with people.
During this retreat, you’ll also meet my brother Wari, a yoga photographer, who will capture unforgettable moments of our journey. His partner, Made, a Balinese local, will lead us through a sacred water temple ritual in its purest form. My other brother, Pau, an osteopath, will guide us in a Thai massage workshop. Plus, a few more local friends will share the beauty of their land and ancient rituals with us firsthand.
These are some of our own photos, taken by me and my family, our own experiences and discoveries made in Bali, and maybe very soon, we will make new ones together with you!
