Yoga, Ayurveda & activities
Space for stillness & movement
Yoga & Meditation
On the second floor of our main house there is a 63 sqm yoga room with teak flooring and sweeping views over the sea – a place for yoga, meditation and dance. There is also a yoga shala in the garden, which is also available to our guests outside the retreats. High-quality yoga mats, meditation cushions, bolsters, belts and blocks are of course available.
Prana Veda is an ideal place for small groups (4-12 people) who appreciate a familiar and personal atmosphere.
Yoga – from the Sanskrit “union” – is a philosophy of life that is thousands of years old. The practice combines physical movements (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayama) and meditation to create a path of inner balance. It harmonizes body, mind and soul, expands consciousness and can lead to more clarity, freedom and vitality.
"If we take care of the root of the tree, buds will sprout and give off their fragrance. If we take care of the body, the mind and soul will blossom."
B.K.S. Iyengar
Balance for body & mind
Yoga & meditation in retreat
During our retreat weeks, you can expect daily yoga and meditation classes in small groups. Our yoga teachers teach Hatha Yoga with influences from Vinyasa Flow, Yin Yoga and therapeutic approaches. Each class is individually tailored to the needs of the participants and combines physical exercises, breath work and meditation.
In the afternoon, the focus is on gentle forms such as yin yoga, restorative yoga and somatic yoga. In addition, we offer various types of meditation – from silent and guided meditations to breathing and water meditations and dance meditations in the open air.

Mount Batur Trekking
Up to the summit of the volcano at sunrise
Mount Batur (Gunung Batur) is located in the north-east, near Kintamani. Climbing the 1,717 meter high, active volcano, whose last minor eruption only took place in 2000, is a unique experience. In the cool of the night, the approximately two-hour ascent to the crater is made by torchlight along unpaved paths. The last few meters of the ascent are particularly steep. At the summit, a small picnic breakfast with hot coffee or tea awaits the sunrise. Don’t forget to try an egg boiled in the volcano!
At dawn, you can enjoy a breathtaking panoramic view of the unique surrounding volcanic landscape, even with a view of the mountains of Java and Lombok on a clear day. This view makes up for the effort of the climb.
