Join us at The Yogi’s Garden, a serene eco-sanctuary nestled in the lush landscapes just outside Ubud, Bali, for a deep and immersive journey into the heart of Classical Tantrik Yoga.

Surrounded by rice fields, tropical gardens, and the stillness of nature, The Yogis Garden offers the perfect environment for turning inward, unwinding the nervous system, and exploring the heart of Tantrik Yoga.

At the heart of Tantrik Yoga lies a radically affirming view: that every part of you—your thoughts, your desires, your struggles, your joy—is an expression of the sacred. Through powerful self-inquiry, energy body practices, awareness cultivation, and interactive satsangs, we’ll explore what it means to truly see clearly, to move beyond our conditioned filters and open into intimacy with Being. We’ll explore how classical Tantra differs from Hatha Yoga, neo-Tantra and other contemporary spiritual paths, while engaging in accessible philosophical teachings, group discussion, and guided practices designed to bring the teachings out of the abstract and into your body and your felt experience.

This retreat is an invitation to step into a living tradition that embraces the fullness of life. Rooted in the non-dual teachings of Shaiva Tantra, Tantrik Yoga offers a radically different approach—one that is not aimed at transcendence or escape, but at embodied awakening in the midst of everyday experience.

Some themes and teachings we’ll explore together include:

  • The core orientation and view of Tantrik Yoga

  • How Tantrik Yoga integrates the mystical and the material

  • Embodied liberation (jīvanmukti) : awakening within everyday life

  • Shedding limiting beliefs and misconceptions

  • Embracing the full spectrum of human experience

  • Practices with mantra, visualization, breath, and subtle body awareness

  • Cultivating intimacy with reality beyond concept and conditioning

You’ll be supported by a kind-hearted community (kula), nourishing vegetarian meals, and the beautiful, natural environment of The Yogi’s Garden . Whether you’re new to Tantra or looking to deepen your roots, this retreat offers a potent and grounded entry point into a tradition that welcomes all of who you are.

Please note: The retreat is phone-free to support deeper presence; an emergency contact will be available for loved ones.

COVID: It is feasible that people on retreat may be infected or become infected with Covid. As the virus is no longer a significant threat to the majority of our community, we will not isolate Covid positive students in separate accommodation. We will require Covid positive students or those showing symptoms to mask in the yoga shala and keep distance from other students. If you are Covid conscious and have health concerns related to this, please book a private room or consider attending a different retreat.
