Bali’s Best 7-Day Retreat: Yoga, Wellness & the Art of Slowing Down

Bali 7-Day Retreat provides the perfect sanctuary to slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with yourself by the sea.

There are places where time slows — where the days unfold gently, and the body begins to exhale in a way it hasn’t for far too long.
Tucked along the sunrise coast of Sanur, Bali, lies such a place. It doesn’t ask much of you. In fact, it asks you to do less.
To breathe deeper. To move gently. To come home to yourself.

At Power of Now Oasis, our Bali 7-Day Retreat isn’t about pushing toward transformation. It’s a quiet invitation to soften, rest, and remember who you are beneath all the doing. With yoga, nourishing meals, holistic treatments, and the sea just steps away, it’s a sanctuary designed not to change you — but to support you in reconnecting.

Seven days offers just enough time to unwind and rebuild a rhythm that supports rather than drains. It’s long enough to feel a shift, but short enough to fit into real life. Each day of this Bali 7-Day Retreat in Bali gives you space — not just physically, but emotionally and mentally too.

Sanur sets the tone. It’s quieter than Ubud or Canggu, with fewer crowds and a slower pace. You’ll find early sunrises, a walkable beach path, and plenty of local cafés to unwind in. The location is ideal if you’re looking for a peaceful atmosphere without feeling too far from everything.

The retreat carries the same energy — relaxed, thoughtful, and steady. From daily energising morning yoga to slower evening sessions like Yin Yoga or Restorative Yoga, your week unfolds with a sense of ease and clarity — spacious, supportive, and never rushed.

During our Bali 7-Day Retreat, you’ll feel that same relaxed, thoughtful rhythm from sunrise to sunset.

Your stay includes everything you need to fully arrive and settle in:
Accommodation at Mercure Resort Sanur, breakfast and lunch each day at the beachfront Genius Café, and unlimited fresh juices, herbal teas, coffee, and spring water to keep you hydrated and nourished throughout the day.

You’ll join daily group yoga classes led by a diverse team of local and international teachers, and also receive a private yoga session and a one-on-one meditation class to support your individual needs.

To support deeper rest and balance, the retreat includes four spa or holistic treatments of your choice — from Ayurvedic consultations and Balinese massages to beauty or wellness services. An airport transfer is included as well, so from the moment you land, everything is taken care of.

And if you’d like to personalise your week even more, a variety of add-ons are available. You can book additional treatments from our spa menu, join stand-up paddleboard (SUP) yoga or surfing classes, or arrange sightseeing tours around Bali, including visits to temples, waterfalls, and local artisan villages. Whether you want more movement, more nature, or more time to be pampered — you’ll have the flexibility to shape the retreat around you.

You’ll spend six nights at Mercure Resort Sanur, a tranquil beachfront resort with gardens, winding walkways, a pool, and quiet spaces to retreat between activities.You’ll stay in a private deluxe room, which can be arranged with a double bed or a twin set-up if you’re coming with a friend or partner. Everything is designed to support your rest — clean, calm, and just a short walk from the yoga shala.

Just a short walk from your room, you’ll find our yoga shala — an open-air, beachfront studio built from natural materials, located right on the grounds of Mercure Resort Sanur. The location offers the unique benefit of stepping directly from your accommodation into a serene, purpose-built practice space. It’s not only a place to move and breathe, but one that holds presence. The sea breeze drifts through as you settle into meditation or stretch in a yoga class with the morning light.

It’s an amazing setting, with ocean sounds in the background and the kind of stillness that invites you inward. Every corner is designed to support your experience — not distract from it.

Each day begins with a healthy breakfast at Genius Café, usually around 8am or earlier, depending on your schedule. Fresh tropical fruits, warm whole-food options, smoothies, and herbal teas give you a nourishing and satisfying start to the day – light enough to support your morning yoga practice, but filling enough to keep you energised. Dietary preferences are always accommodated, and free alternatives are available on request.

After breakfast, you’ll head to the open-air yoga shala, just a few steps away, for your first class of the day. Some mornings flow dynamically with Vinyasa, others move more gently through Hatha, Yin, or Restorative. There’s no pressure to perform — just thoughtful guidance and space to explore your practice in a supportive, welcoming environment. Whether you’re new to yoga or have been practicing for years, each class is designed to meet you where you are — grounding you in movement, breath, and the kind of inner connection these retreats are known for.

Afternoons are yours to shape. You can rest in your room, walk along the beach, enjoy a quiet swim, or simply sit with a book and a breeze. You’ll also receive four personalised healing spa or holistic treatments, which you can choose based on what your body needs most. Options include Ayurvedic massage, head massage, Nasya therapy, Akshitarapana (for the eyes), Kati Vasti (warm oil for the lower back), Jambeera Sinda Sweda (for skin brightening), Shirodhara, Balinese massage, a focused neck–back–shoulder massage, deep muscle release, or a detoxifying Bokashi massage and therapy.

Each treatment is offered by experienced hands, rooted in traditional methods, and designed to help you feel supported — not just pampered, but restored in a way that feels both gentle and lasting.

You’ll also enjoy a private yoga session and a private meditation class, giving you space to ask questions, build confidence, or simply go deeper into your own rhythm.

As the day winds down, evenings return you to the shala for a second yoga class — slower, softer, and designed to help you settle. Afterwards, some guests like to unwind at the café, while others ease into sleep with a sense of calm. There’s no rush, and no need to be anywhere but where you are.

Every moment of the Bali 7-Day Retreat is designed to guide you back to inner calm.

For many guests, what makes this retreat memorable isn’t just the yoga or the treatments — it’s the feeling of being genuinely welcomed and cared for. Elaine, who joined us in February 2024, put it simply:
“The Power of Now Oasis Yoga Shala in Sanur Bali exceeded all my expectations.”

She described the experience as a rare combination — a peaceful setting right by the beach, thoughtfully designed classes, and a team that made every day feel warm and personal. From her first moments each morning, greeted by the smiles of Yuyun, Indah, and Ayu, to her final goodbye filled with laughter and a serenade of Fly Me to the Moon, the week offered something more than just time away.

She found guidance and encouragement in every teacher — from Ricardo, who helped her find her crow pose and build toward a headstand, to Ulfa, whose restorative yoga classes brought deep calm, and even a paddleboarding adventure she won’t forget.
She praised Lisa for her knowledge of asanas and Sanskrit, gently guiding her body into new positions she didn’t think were possible. And Victoria’s classes, she said, were some of the most enjoyable — clear, detailed, and finished with the kind of thoughtful touches that stay with you, like a drop of essential oil during savasana.

Elaine also spoke about her Ayurvedic treatments with Ibu Dayu, calling them informative and grounding, and loved her early morning sessions with Mangku, describing them as a beautiful way to begin the day.

“A perfect blend of exceptional staff and breathtaking surroundings, making it a haven for those seeking both inner peace and physical well-being.”

She ended her review with a message we often hear:
“I highly recommend this retreat to anyone seeking both professional guidance and a warm, friendly environment.”

For guests like Elaine — and many others — this isn’t just a break from routine. It’s a reset. A meaningful week that stays with you, not just as a memory, but as a feeling you carry home.

Whether it’s your first retreat or something you’ve done before, this program is open to everyone. It’s designed for all levels — from beginners to long-time practitioners — and welcomes solo travellers, couples, or anyone who simply wants a week to step away and reset.

There’s no pressure to perform. This isn’t about doing more — it’s about slowing down. With daily yoga and meditation, nourishing food, personalised spa treatments, and the calming rhythm of the beach just steps away, everything is in place to support your wellness in a way that feels natural and sustainable.

The setting is relaxed, the support is there when you need it, and the pace is yours to set. This is not a group experience with fixed dates — it’s a individual retreat built around your timing and your needs.

Whether you’re seeking movement, quiet, clarity or simply a change of pace, this week offers the space to explore it — through the grounding of Balinese traditions, the gentle power of healing practices, and the simplicity of being in one of Indonesia’s most peaceful coastal settings.

You’ll return not with a checklist, but with a feeling — a kind of bliss that comes from just having a little more room to breathe.

Most guests don’t come looking for dramatic change. They come to rest, to clear their head, or to simply take a break. But by the end of the week, many say they feel lighter, more present — and more connected to themselves.

It’s often the small things that stay with you: waking up without rush, moving your body every day, eating well, and having the space to just be. This Bali 7-Day Retreat isn’t about escaping the world — it’s about creating space to reconnect with yourself, in a beautiful, peaceful place that supports rest and clarity. The setting, the people, and the atmosphere come together in a way that feels easy and genuine. Whether you’re booking your first retreat or returning for a second, this is an amazing place to pause and reset — so you can return to your world with a little more energy, focus, and ease.

If a week of space, simplicity, and support sounds like what you’ve been needing, we’d love to welcome you.
