🌺 BALI YOGANESS RETREAT 1-7 AUGUST 2026
We’re thrilled to announce our next Bali Yoga Retreat in August 2026! We feel so lucky to be going back on our 6th Yoganess Bali adventure. Join us!
Bali, the Island of the Gods, is world-famous for its magical, spiritual energy. With stunning scenery, nourishing food, and a vibrant wellness culture, it’s one of the most inspiring places on earth to practice yoga, especially in Ubud, the healing heart of the island.
This retreat is for both men and women seeking to de-stress, recharge, and reconnect with yourselves. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or just beginning, you’ll enjoy a carefully curated experience filled with daily yoga, delicious meals, beautiful accommodation, massages, cultural excursions, and more – all planned with love.
Come home feeling rested, rejuvenated, and deeply inspired.
Yoga & Meditation
Open to every level of experience, enjoy a blend of hatha, vinyasa, yin, and restorative yoga styles, along with meditation, gentle philosophy and chakra inspired practices woven throughout. With both morning and evening sessions, you’ll deepen your connection to yourself, your energy, and your practice.
Vanessa your host says: “I absolutely love witnessing the transformation that so often unfolds for participants during this special week — it’s one of the most beautiful parts of the retreat experience”.

The Venue
Get ready for a week of pure Bali magic at Soulshine, Ubud, a place where jungle views, infinity pools, soulful music, and barefoot luxury all blend into one unforgettable experience.
Imagine starting each morning with energising yoga in an open-air shala, spending your days unwinding by the pool, delving into the cultural offerings of Bali, exploring Ubud, and returning in the evening for a gentle, grounding yoga class as the sun sets over the jungle.
Finish your nights with candlelit dinners, live music vibes, and the warm, uplifting Soulshine atmosphere.
This retreat is your chance to reconnect, recharge, and rediscover your Ness in one of the most inspiring wellness venues in Bali.
Soulshine Bali is breathtakingly stunning, the people and delightful service they provide is unparalleled.
“Soulshine has been created on the foundation of the Balinese philosophy of Tri Hita Karana – the 3 causes of happiness, which loosely translated means harmony, human to human, human to nature, and human to spirit.”
Spaces are limited, reserve your place today and join us for an unforgettable journey of peace, balance, and renewal in Bali.
Theme for Yoganess Bali 2026:
The 2026 Bali Yoga Retreat is inspired by the theme “Find your …ness” – a playful yet powerful invitation to reconnect with your true self. Each day we will explore a different “ness” – stillness, strength, wildness, flow – guiding you to uncover the essence that’s uniquely yours. Whether it’s finding your calm, your courage, or your joy, this retreat gives you the time and space to discover the state of being of what you most need, and allowing Bali’s magic to help you embody it fully.

“To my wonderful yoga students who have joined my retreats, thank you. I feel so blessed that you spend your precious time with me and continue to explore your yoga and meditation practice. Yoga isn’t just on the mat — it’s in the choices you make, the love you hold for yourself, and the love you share with others. Namaste, Vanessa.”
Here is what some of our lovely students had to say about the Yoganess Retreats:
“Thank you for the opportunity to go to Bali — it truly healed my soul and helped me through the grief of losing my dad and all the life changing events thats has happened in the last year. You were absolutely in your element and glowing during the classes. I didn’t realise just how much this trip would impact me in such a positive way, but it really has. Thanks again, Ness.” Lian
“I just wanted to say thank you again for today, it was so relaxing and nice to pause and reset the mind and body. Your retreats are always so meaningful and a treat!” Ange
“Thank you for a lovely retreat today – it was so good to slow down listen and put some things into perspective.. and your delicious lunch was a treat!” Jacqui.
