Created by Michael Franti and Carla Swanson, Soulshine Bali is located in beautiful Ubud, the arts and crafts center of Bali.This magical center is dedicated to bringing people together to practice yoga, meditation, art, music, dance and just having a great time. The exquisitely designed main building and grounds hosts a river, tropical gardens and several ornate ponds – perfect for a relaxing yoga holiday and retreat.  After your yoga practice, enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool and savor an abundance of fresh fruits such as mango, jackfruit, banana, mangostein, rambutan, papaya and coconuts.

There will be two 2-hour yoga classes per day and each guest will have the opportunity to practice at his/her own level making the week suitable for students of different abilities. Daily guided meditation sessions are held to help you unwind, de-stress, stay centered and grounded, and guests are encouraged to take the journey within!! This can be an ideal introduction for beginners or a different approach for the adept.The concept of “evolution of yoga” is based on the notion that everything in the world evolves constantly, including human beings. Our primary goal as a human race and that of any living organism is evolution, and yoga can be seen as a tool to facilitate such evolution in any given individual. However, as the practice of yoga itself changes with time and place, as new techniques are being introduced, the approach is becoming more technical, precise and scientific, any definition of it as a system or style seems to be a limitation in itself. Therefore, the “Evolution of Yoga” approach has to be seen as an ever-evolving process, which anyone can be a part of, rather than a complete static system.“It’s all about coming out of the box, rather than jumping from one box into another” –Kosta
