Natalie also practices; lymphatic massage, energy balancing and healing, digestive treatments and PrimeTuning healing of cellular vibration. You may book a session with her on retreat.
I didn't really know what to expect before we went, but I think it was one of the best things I've ever done. It was so much more than yoga, I actually really enjoyed the whole holistic approach of being in nature, meditation, being around other people, being in another environment, the partner stretches and the theory that you did.
I learned a lot again and I am feeling great and very relaxed at the moment. We are only 2 days into the workweek, but I've been able to hold on to the feeling yesterday and I'll try to hold on to it over the rest of the week.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Your passport must have 6 months validity at the day of arrival in Bali
There are a few things you need to do online before leaving your country, we have discovered there are a lot of dodgy links in the cyber world so here are the ligitament ones:
Fly into Denpasar I Gusti Ngurah Rai International Airport, make your way to Sanur Port, travel times are dependent on traffic and can be much longer if travelling by car rather than scooter. But here’s a rough guide:
From Denpasar Airport to Sanur - 30 to 40 minutes
From Seminyak/Kuta – Between 45 mins to 1hr15
From Canggu/Ubud/Nusa Dua – Between 1hr to 1hr30
Drivers are plenty at airport, cost is between 200000 - 250000 rup, which is around $20-$25. I gave $30 as the drivers are only allowed at airport in morning and once again in evening. I prefer to take Balinese that are making the money rather than overseas corporations. I recommend the local drivers as long as you fix the price as the large companies pay their drivers little.
My drivers - WhatsApp - Sahat 6281385501217 or Putu 6281775474696 They can pick you up from the airport and take you to Sanur or anywhere else you plan to stay if arriving before the retreat. Always best to pre book. Drivers are plenty.
Ferry from Sanur to https://islandgardenhuts.com/ Tamarind Road, Jungutbatu, Klungkung Regency, Bali, Indonesia
There are a few ferry services, I recommend you book in advance as it is a busy time of the year and the prices also go up the longer you leave it. You can travel from Sanur to Mushroom Bay, this is the company I rode with.- https://www.baliferries.com/ another booking company is Setia Fast Ferry they are larger ferries and handle waves better.
If you take the ferry to Jungut Batu the taxi ride over to the Villas will be approximately 12 minutes. From Mushroom Bay only a few minutes.
The driver I travel with in Nusa Lembongan is Wayan Kedo 6282341845218 He can pick you up from port and take you to the villas. Calling in advance is always best. Drivers are plenty though

Other things to know
- Most places have universal power plugs but best to bring one or purchase in Bali
- Bring some Indo rupiah with you (approx. $200) so you don't have to pay high exchange rates in airport.
- I used a Wise card in Bali to get the best exchange rate and lower bank fees, you may find cards with even better rates. https://wise.com/invite/mic/natalieclairea2
