Besides daily yoga classes, our MOVE+MANIFEST retreats offer a series of mindful workshops that will guide you in the exploration of creative self-expression in your life. We will have meaningful discussions and fun activities intended to help you tap into your own inner wisdom and heartfelt desires. And between the beauty and serenity of Bali alongside the forests and temples, the atmosphere will surely ignite your being with an energy perfect for the creative process.  

Some of what to expect from the workshops:

• Energizing & clarifying your dreams

• Connecting with others and this world on a deeper level

• Discovering powerful creative tools for the subconscious using journals, images, affirmations

• Boosting awareness of yourself and how you’re creating your life

• Changing the stories and beliefs holding you back from having exactly what you want!

GIVE BACK RETREAT

This retreat is part of our GIVE BACK initiative, where EPM will donate at least 10% of profits to a humanitarian partner in the community where each retreat is held. Our partner in India is THREADS OF LIFE  a "fair trade business that works with culture and conservation to alleviate poverty in rural Indonesia."

HOTEL

Our time in Bali will be spent in it's most famous town, the spiritual/cultural center of Ubud. We'll be hosted in luxury accommodations at Alila Ubud, a tranquil and secluded hillside retreat that sits high up on the edge of the rich green Ayung River valley in Bali's central foothills, in the traditional Balinese hill village of Payangan. The hotel features award-winning design accommodations and one of the "Top 50 Pools in the World."

SURROUNDING AREA

Guests will not only enjoy the grounds of the hotel, the outdoor areas, including a lovely pool, patio and lounges, but the retreat also includes some amazing day-trips to the surrounding sites. A guided day in and around Ubud will lead guests through an introduction to the area, the sites and temples. We'll enjoy participating in activities that mirror the elements such as visiting the rice paddies (earth), a water temple (water), a Balinese healing and fire ritual (fire), as well as experience the traditional Balinese dance (air). There will be freetime to explore more of the amazing town of Ubud, as well as relax and renew poolside, overlooking the rainforest.

The final full day entails a trip to a luxurious five star spa, where we'll delve deeper into Bali's serene beauty and tradition by spending a day in the spa villa close to the banks of the river for a traditional bathing ritual, scrub and massage. What a way to end the week - in pure relaxation!

CUISINE

Healthful, vegetarian food is part of the retreat experience, including daily breakfast, plus lunch or dinner either hosted at our hotel or out and about in town...some even come served on a banana leaf! The cuisine is simple, delicious and Balinese, using fresh ingredients from local markets. We'll enjoy a gourmet dinner after our fire ceremony, a meal in a temple followed by traditional Balinese dance, as well as a tasting meal + drink pairing at one of an award-winning restaurants. This retreat is complete with a fully local and sustainable cuisine, it is sure to offer guests a perfect foundation for creative Balinese flavor.

YOGA

Daily yoga classes will be offered in a way to relax, stimulate, and help guests grow in their own personal practice and prepare bodies and minds for the personal development done in the manifest workshops. Classes are open to all levels, beginner to practiced, and are daily 60-75 minute vinyasa flow style. Depending on each retreat location, classes will be held in a dedicated indoor yoga space and some also offer outdoor options as well for us to use if the weather is agreeable.
