🪷 The Spiritual Purification Day: Melukat Ceremony
One of the retreat highlights is Friday's full-day spiritual journey. Guided by local wisdom keepers, you'll trek through Bali's jungle to reach one of the island's most ancient temples. Here, you'll participate in a traditional Melukat — a sacred purification ceremony using holy water.
Through ritual, prayer, and healing water flow, release what no longer serves you and invite spiritual renewal into your life. The day culminates with visits to UNESCO-protected heritage rice fields and a serene waterfall, weaving Bali's natural and spiritual beauty into your yoga journey.

My heart is so full. It was a truly rejuvenating experience at the retreat. The practice space was so beautiful and the morning light added such positive energy to my yoga practice. Practicing with Manuel was such a blessing — he is very experienced and open-hearted, always giving the best support and adjustments to all students.
I had a fantastic experience at the Ashtanga yoga retreat. Manuel is excellent — he paid close attention to any injuries and offered wonderful adjustments to improve each pose.
