The online photos don't do the retreat justice. Also, there's a shuttle to Ubud everyday that they don't mention. Lots of shopping, restaurants and sights. But most importantly, like-minded souls who will surely become dear friends. I went to Blooming Lotus Yoga because I sought an escape, a place of refuse from Life's demands. I received so much more. I doubt there's a sweetie, kinder, more qualified teacher anywhere than Bindi. And the staff, they are incredible. I'd be lying if I said I didn't hurt most days, (I hadn't done yoga in years) but I was never made to feel inadequate for not keeping up. In fact, I was encouraged to go at my own pace. I am eternally grateful for everything I experienced at Blooming Lotus Yoga, from the accommodations, to the serenity, to the beauty, to the delicious vegan food, to the staff, to the wonderful guests. I truly believe I came away a better version of myself. Actually, I know I did.
