Our Bali Retreats Recommendations for 2020

Too often we start off each new year with grand resolutions and plenty of enthusiasm. Yet, nothing actually changes. Each new year begins with big plans and ends with justification as to why it didn’t happen. We declare – ‘next year is the year things change’, because all of this ‘stuff’ happened to me this year, and it all got in the way.

The trick however, to ending this dreaded cycle of wanting to make changes in your life, but never actually getting there – is to take action. Like, right now! Yesterday even.

Because it all starts with you. Invest in you – take a little action – and hey presto – you’ve achieved that elusive goal that you thought you might never reach.

And nothing can do that quite as well, as taking that time out for you, and immersing yourself in a specialised and hopefully transformative retreat and holiday in Bali

January 2020 – Detox / Health Retreat

What: 7-Day Detox Retreat

When: 5^th January – 12^th January

Who: The Yoga Barn

Often, we start the new year feeling a little sluggish and tired, after all the Christmas and New Year celebrations. We drag ourselves back to work, yet, we’re unmotivated and just not ‘feeling it’. Which is where taking that extra indulgent week off, combined with this incredible, ultra-healthy Yoga & Detox retreat in Bali, will allow you to start the year off in the RIGHT way.

It’s the perfect chance to give your health a good kickstart into the new year, which you can then continue on with when you do get back to work. This retreat promises that you’ll learn to take care of yourself from the inside out, and the outside in, to shed old, unhealthy habits and create long-lasting changes that could totally transform your life.

Included is an incredible program with wholesome meals, 3x daily fresh, cold-pressed green juices and a range of herbs and supplements as prescribed from the naturopath. While your there, you’ll also participate in plenty of yoga classes and specialised spa treatments to cleanse your body and boost your health.

Accommodation isn’t included in the retreat package, but is easily booked, in a room that suits you, onsite.

A Balinese sanctuary awaits…

No matter what your goals are for 2020, placing more importance on your own self-care and setting yourself up for success is what will get you there. Because often, despite our best intentions of changing the way we do things on a daily basis, and implementing healthier habits, life gets so busy that change becomes way too difficult to achieve on our own.

Sometimes, we simply need to remove ourselves from our daily routines, escape to somewhere new, and truly immerse ourselves in a retreat-style holiday, where everything you could possibly need is provided for you.

And honestly – when you’re planning a holiday, with a potentially life-altering retreat experience, we can’t think of a better place to do it, than beautiful Bali.
