HOTEL KOMMUNE
RESORT & BEACH CLUB
13-18 September 2024
Welcome
Step into the sun and nourish yourself on this lush five-day tropical reset.
We know you can already feel that contented sigh as you wander into the blissful Hotel Komune Resort & Beach Club, on the quiet east coast of Bali.
Looking out on the iconic volcanic-sand Keramas surf break, this corner of heaven on earth is a place beyond perfect to unwind your mind and float into luxurious, undisturbed you-time.
Nothing washes off the daily grind like a warm and clear tropical ocean … well, except revitalising, soulful sunset yoga practices in our oceanside wellness shala!
You’ll also experience walking meditation, ‘acqua’ barre, a choice of personalised one-on-one restorative yoga or postural assessments, and strengthening Pilates sessions with our most experienced teachers – movements designed to help you feel calm and connected in your body.
Come with us, and taste the most delicious traditional Indonesian cuisine, experience the natural beauty and local culture on our guided daily adventures, and, most importantly, have fun. Because we believe in everything in moderation. Except fun. An excess of fun is always OK.
There will be plenty of time to eat well, sleep, swim, read, relax poolside, move your body, dive into outdoor adventures and interact with your delightful retreat friends (old and new!).
You’ll also have space to pause, to spend time pondering, journaling and resting when you need alone time.
Intention...
for you to (re)treat yourself.
We hold space to guide you through the renewal process: to rest your body, replenish your energy and reconnect with whatever it is that makes you burn brightly in life.
“Let the beauty of what you love be what you do. There are many ways to kneel and kiss the ground.” – Rumi
Nothing is too much trouble on the island of the Gods, where there is always time to invigorate the next chapter of your story.
Six days immersed in our renewal retreat and you won’t know yourself – or maybe you’ll see yourself more clearly – when you return home.
This Retreat is for you
Any age (18+), gender, body shape, energy level, world view. You don’t need Yoga or Pilates experience to join our Spring renewal!
We encourage you to meet yourself where you are, listen to your body, and melt into your chance just to be – restoring your energy is the most incredible gift that you can offer yourself.
This is particularly perfect for you if:
- You feel exhausted and in need of a break
- The weight of your responsibilities feels overwhelming
- You’re longing to prioritise your own needs over others’
- You need to reset your health or movement goals
- You’re feeling the need to revitalise your headspace
- It’s been ages since you’ve had a moment to ponder what you truly want from life
- You need to reconnect with your fire, or purpose in life
- You seek the space to clarify for yourself where you are (professionally or personally – or both!) and where you want to be, and to map the way
What's Included..
Your lush retreat tropicale package includes:
- 5 nights/6 days in your choice of lux accommodation at Keramas Beach, on Bali’s tranquil east coast
- A pre-retreat survey – we can’t wait to find out more about your individual needs and preferences on retreat to help us curate a memorable, nourishing experience for you
- Welcome event, including a Welcome Circle, and a stretch & release class to restore balance after your flight
- Welcome Retreat Pack (valued at over $200)
- Healthy and delish breakfast, lunch and dinners each day, including smoothies, tea & coffee.
- Evening cocktail (if you choose! It's all about balance)
- Your choice of a personalised 1:1 60 min Restorative Yoga session with Annie Johns or Postural Assessment with Alicia Harvie (tailored for you, to enhance body awareness for better movement)
- Daily intention setting
- A gift from us each morning to enhance your experience of the day ahead
- 1 x 60-minute complimentary massage
- A calm and grounding sunrise walking meditation session, led by Annie
- Daily morning Pilates to set you up for each day’s adventures and deepen your practice throughout the week. Your first class will focus on understanding your body’s biomechanics through Pilates, and each subsequent class will build upon this knowledge as you learn to listen to your body.
- Sunset yoga in our oceanside shala curated to reflect the daily themes of reset, re-charge and renewal
- Acqua Barre! It’s a thing (or we made it so). Cooling off in the pool while strengthening your body with water-based resistance.
- Learn to fly in a fun therapeutic acro-yoga workshop, where you’ll experience building trust and connection, and explore your edge with new movement you didn’t know you were capable of (hint: you totally are capable!). This will involve less acro and more therapeutic duo-stretching techniques to unwind and reset your body.
- Three evening guided meditation sessions each with a different intention and purpose. These include a luxurious restoration for body, mind and spirit, with live music and massage; Yoga Nidra – experience the power of yogic sleep meditation as you wind down for the night; and a renewal meditation on the final night of your retreat, to energise and cultivate a deep sense of readiness as you prepare to move back into daily life.
- Three transformative yoga workshops, based on Annie Johns’ sell-out Rest & Restore workshops. Annie will guide you into the magical fundamentals of myofascial release (trigger point therapy), restorative yoga (conscious deep rest), Yin yoga (a blend of yoga postures and Traditional Chinese Medicine practices to nourish your body in the season of Spring), and rejuvenating sun salutations to build your energy. You’ll leave with the tools to incorporate these practices to balance your energy at home.
- Optional activities organised by us, for you to connect with local Balinese culture and cuisine, and explore the great outdoors. Be whisked away to waterfalls and rainforests, cooking classes, to meet some of the local wildlife, and explore the wonderful world of Ubud, just an hour’s drive up into the rolling tropical hills.
- A Celebration Dinner and a Closing Circle, gathering together to honour your shared experiences of clarity and growth here in a perfect paradise.
