Imagine basking in the warmth of the Bali sun, surrounded by the warm, sweet hearts of the Balinese people and the uplifting and inspiring music and movement of the yoga practice. Now, enter our exclusive yoga retreat for 8 days and 7 nights in the Ubud hills and feel the magic and serenity of this exotic setting. During your week-long stay, you'll enjoy a morning ritual of chanting, asana and meditation led by both Alanna and Dave with live music and kirtan. In the afternoons, you'll be free to explore this exotic location steeped in tradition and devotion. The evenings will be spent either on special excursions or kirtan chanting designed to ignite the spirit.
Alanna and Dave are both music masters who are coming together for this intensely unique experience to uplift the heart. Dave Stringer is a well-known kirtan performer, and a lover of all things bhakti. Alanna is a world-traveling yogini and is a believer in the power of vibration. They're excited to be sharing their mutual love of music and working together on this magical retreat.
