Yoga & Therapeutics Bali Yoga Retreat ~ March 22nd to 27th in 2012
About this retreat
Enjoy a 5 night, 6 day retreat with Amber and special guest teachers in a nurturing environment designed to relax and strengthen you into the space of being your best ! Eat yummy organic food, indulge with sun baths beside our private salt water pool, enjoy massages and inspire from beautiful Balinese natural surrounds.
Every morning we will start the day with a 2 hour Yoga practice designed to realign your body and reconnect you with your inner glow. Each morning we will practice the same sequence, eventually knowing it well enough to practice solo whilst Amber attends to each student offering personal guidance. Following this Pranayama and meditation will lead the way into a healthy breakfast and thus has begun our perfect Yoga Retreat day.
In the evening restorative Yin and Prana flow Yoga will be lead by Amber with two visits from a very special guest Carlos Romero who will present workshops on Therapeutic partner interaction & flying Yoga, designed to ultimately teach us about our own bodies whilst enjoying reflection within the group. Throughout our time together we have the opportunity for plenty of free time with an included day trip to Seminyak for a shopping or beach visit.
The intention of each and every one of our Yoga immersions will be to redefine clarity about why we practice Yoga. We will come to understand the essence Yoga as a therapeutic approach to living vibrantly that keeps our minds wanderings connected with spirit whilst developing a strong body. Strong to move confidently in the direction of our dreams !

About Carlos
Carlos, is a genuine yoga practitioner and a devoted Yoga teacher, after finishing a Sivananda Yoga Teacher Training in 2003 he has continued to deepen his practice and expand the scope of his studies in Asthanga Vinyasa, alignment based on Iyengar method, Jivamukti, Vibrant Living, Anusara and Dharma Mittra Yoga as well as in Acroyoga and Thai Yoga Massage. He is also a passionate surfer fulfilling his heart by being in the ocean, riding waves and uniting yoga and surf as a way of living.
The essence of Carlos’s teachings is to bring Joy and Inspiration into life …”experience yoga as a beautiful way to celebrate life”… as well as creating deep awareness to the breath, movement and correct alignment. “ By joining these three actions into one, we can experience a powerful and transformative practice that bring us into a state of peace, union and glad self acceptance, it also open the doors to live a healthy happy and harmonious life from the inside out, with less worries and more gratitude. Carlos shares his classes with his students, as a journey to the heart, surrendering to a higher vibration, and enabling them to practice on their own level of ability.
Carlos will be offering Thai Yoga massage during our retreat as well as two workshops
Carlos has always felt a calling to heal with his hands. Instantly he can feel when there are blockages in the body. He has been inspired by different renowned Massage Therapists. He unites ancient lineages from a variety of healing arts but mainly focused on Thai Massage. Carlos adds his own creation of yoga movements to the healing sessions based on the each individual’s need.
Flying Metta workshops
In these workshops we will explore together the transformative, relaxing and healing qualities of the Thai massage and Therapeutics flying. Starting with a series of partner flows to re connected with ourselves and others with the powerful intention of sharing Metta as a universal principle in life that means loving-kindness. The techniques learned on the floor are then translated to the flying work, using the element of gravity to amplify the healing flow of Prana (life force). Often, we will work in teams of three for safety and support, and everyone will have the opportunity to base and fly, heal and be healed. www.facebook.com/carlitosyoga + www.livininspired.com
