Sam and Sydel have been invited to teach at The Bali Spirit Festival. Since they are going to be presenting they thought "Lets Take Our Australian Friends and Really Go For It" So the idea for a yoga retreat followed by The Bali Spirit Festival was born. This is a retreat in the Flavor of Sam and Sydel where by taking care of all your Travel and Food needs they open the door for a community to form from within the group.
The Ubud Aura Our Home In Bali
It is a honor and very inspiring to be invited to teach at the Bali Spirit Festival . So Sam and Sydel want to really support you over 4 days in your understanding of Yoga and deepen your practice and love of yoga. Postural Detail ,Body Awareness,Adjustments,Breath,Sensitivity,Asana Deconstrution, and good humor will be some of the tools we will use. Sam brings his Iyengar Method Style to the yoga and Sydel brings her Mindful and Therapeutic yoga in her teaching of yoga.

More Details
The Retreat Starts at Perth Airport as we are all flying to Bali together or if you are coming from another part of the world you can join us in Ubud. We will be picked up and taken to a wonderful lunch and beach adventure and yoga meditation. Then on to Ubud where we have booked Accommodation at the fantastic Ubud Aura right next door to The Yoga Barn. Acomidation is very difficult to find in Ubud during the festival and Sam has booked one of the best places months ago for us all to enjoy.
For 3 days Sam and Sydel will lead us in several yoga classes a day. Sam will support you in deepening your understanding of Yoga and the process of Body Alignment and Awareness as taught in Iyengar method Yoga. We will look at how to best find your path to an aligned body. We will also look at some flowing yoga sequences that make you really open up. So many poses when just demonstrated seem overwhelming and we will deconstruct some of the harder poses to help you see that they are not so difficult or impossible when you use your whole body as one unit.
