Bali. see what finds you here.

"Sound of Om Retreat has a rippling effect of spending time with good friends. You feel relaxed, you have a pep in your step, and you find that you have the courage to “Be”. My experience opened my heart to love and appreciate the Balinese culture. The land is beautiful, the food is delicious, and the people are creative craftsmen. The retreat is a path where you can lead your own trail. It’s a beautiful retreat that you will want to experience again and again."

"What a wonderful week with many new experiences and impressions! From the nicest accommodation to great cuisine, we went shopping at the local market for a cooking class, various forms of yoga and wellness,  extraordinary trips to temples and waterfalls in company of a professional photographer – all was there. But the best thing was our group, in which we had a lot of fun and exchanges. Katya did a wonderful job organizing this and giving us so much advice for the visa, shopping, dining, silver classes etc. For me this week was the perfect start to my two-month trip to Indonesia and I highly recommend to share this unique experience with Katya and her lovely Balinese crew!"

"This was the first ever Yoga retreat I have joined. And I must admit, I had been a little apprehensive at first in regards to a few activities she had planned. But right from the start Katya made sure no one ever felt obliged to do anything they didn't feel like doing. Every day was different, and we shared so many amazing experiences. My favorite one: watching the sunrise as a group from an astonishing lookout point. It was magical! 

Besides these experiences, I can say I have made new friends. The dynamic in our group was so good and I felt comfortable being around all the other ladies. Thank you, Katya, for bringing us together and giving us these unforgettable moments!"

"For my birthday this year, the year where I really started creating the life of my dreams, I gifted myself an experience of a lifetime— a yoga/wellness retreat in beautiful Bali with the most incredible group of powerful women from different parts of the world, in different stages of life, with a shared interest in growth and adventure.
As a group, we moved, released, cooked, ate, climbed, relaxed, hugged, laughed, and connected. For me, I learned to listen to my instincts, trust myself, share my voice, take up space, prioritize my wants and needs, and show up for that inner child who is curious, playful, excited, and loving. I am proud of myself for going out of my comfort zone and choosing growth and exploration. Throughout this experience, I felt accepted, empowered, supported, inspired, and loved.

I am beyond grateful for finding Sound of Om Yoga's flyer three months ago, making the value-based decision to go on this magical journey the week leading up to my birthday, and creating memories that I will cherish for life. The trip may have ended, but each ending is a wonderful beginning of something new (wise words of Katya). Thank you for bringing us together and being the most incredible host.

Bali, I miss you already and I’ll see you again one day."

"It was my first trip to Bali as well as traveling that far anywhere in the world from US. I didn’t approach it like a vacation but a personal growth experience. I felt very comfortable because Katya had lived there for a period and it showed.

The entire stay was very well organized in that we never felt rushed but also nothing dragged. The timing was excellent. I had never done something like that so one of my concerns was group dynamics with strangers, but I was amazed at how well everyone got along and how effortless it felt to be with everyone.

I personally enjoyed most getting to see local culture/areas/food the most, but it was balanced with some of the more popular things to do, so I felt I got full exposure to all sides of Bali which was fantastic. 

There were also really great times where we were provoked to go inward and do a little self- discovery. It was always very easy going, gentle, and felt very natural without being over the top or excessive. The teaches/facilitators she introduced us to in private group setting were all extremely experienced and knowledgeable.

I think my biggest takeaway is how balanced and safe it felt throughout. I felt we were all very present while still experiencing some of the amazing/exciting features of Bali."
