Senses & Stillness Bali Yoga Retreats
Yoga and more... The Senses & Stillness retreats in Bali are a fusion of yoga, imagery, and writing, created by Vijoleta Braach-Maksvytis as a unique expansive experience which deepens the sense of space and connection to the present.
The retreats are located in the quiet beautiful rice fields of Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali. This very special place and the Balinese people, open the mind, body and spirit in a way that canąt help but stimulate, soothe, and inspire, all at the same time.
Vijoleta teaches various styles of Hatha yoga with meditation and pranayama as an integral part of the practice, and incorporates local Balinese yoga teachers to introduce a different way of seeing and engaging with your surroundings. This sense of witnessing who and where you are in the present, is also uniquely expanded through the use of imagery and writing. By using the camera and creative writing as stillness tools, a meditative focus of the senses and the mind is created which opens often unexpected knowledge and wisdom from deep within.
An accredited yoga teacher, Vijoleta also has a PhD in science, and a strong background in creativity, innovation and mentoring, developed over a 20 year period. Her passions have taken her around the world, and she is continually inspired by the beauty which lies within the stillness of the moment , within people and the world we live in. These experiences, together with her personal spiritual foundation, result in a retreat experience unlike any other.
