Make your flight arrangement: Plan to arrive at Denpasar International Airport on the morning of the training start date at the latest. The retreat center is roughly a 45-minute beautiful drive. We recommend arriving on the island at least one day before the training in order to acclimate to the island and time changes.
If you would like to arrive early at the retreat center, please reach out to The Shala to reserve additional nights. You can schedule your flight out of DPS anytime after 2 pm in the afternoon of the last day or the following day (or PLEASE stay longer and enjoy the beach and jungle!)
** Please put your dietary restrictions on the logistics sheet.
All meals are healthy and prepared by an amazing chef on site who knows how to make your taste buds smile. 3 Daily vegetarian Balinese/Indonesian healthy meals (breakfast including detox drink, lunch, and dinner) served as a buffet.
Do not drink the water in Bali. Only drink purified water. During the day there will be purified water available in the yoga shala and throughout the premises.
When traveling outside of your home country it is a good idea to take the extra steps to protect your immune system. If you have never traveled outside of your country, this may make you more susceptible to getting tummy sickness because your body will be exposed to unfamiliar bacteria! Even though our retreat centers have filtered water, we recommend bringing a water filter or water purification tablets. Here are the products we recommend:
The local currency is IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) You can check the most current exchange rate directly on google.
In order to get a visa, your passport needs to be valid for six months after entering Indonesia. Visa requirements are different for various countries. Please search the internet for the closest Indonesian consulate for the visa requirements for your country of origin. Many countries enjoy free visa entry into Indonesia. This will give you a 30 day stay upon arrival, called a VOA.
If you wish to stay longer, you can purchase a tourist visa upon entering Bali at the airport. The cost is US$ 35.00 in cash. Presently it is possible to extend your visa for an additional 30 days but you must get the extension upon arriving at DPS and by paying the $35 upon entry. If you have this extension visa, you must apply for the extended visa 15 days into your trip (the process can take 10-15 days). The cost is 900,000 RUP. If you do not get this 2nd visa extension option, you must leave within 30 days. If you overstay, the cost is currently 300,000 per day overstay ($22). There is a rumor that this may increase and we don’t recommend staying over 30 days without the planned extension. You can always fly out of Indonesia and fly back into Bali as well.

If you don’t already have a regular practice, please take some time prior to the beginning of the training to start practicing yoga and meditation 3-5 times per week if possible. This will help your body and mind more quickly adapt to the schedule once we begin the course. You can find videos of the flows here.
