  • En perfekt uke med super balanse mellom yoga, sol, aktivitet, fantastisk mat og mennesker. Etter et par dager var jeg 100% inne i ”retreat-livet” - og la alt av stress og grubling bort (håper det varer!). Alle yogatimene var tipp-topp - Tora og Alexis er superflinke, vennlige og motiverende. Kommer veldig gjerne tilbake!

    -Mette, Retreat-gjest 2024

  • Glød Yoga retreat at Bali March 2023 was the most amazing travel experience! Tora and her team from Glød imparts wisdom and encouragement that was beyond all expectations. During an inspiring and recharging week packed with high quality yoga philosophy & excersises and interesting visits at Bali, I found reconnection to my body, my loved ones, to nature and the general environment. I highly recommend Glød yoga retreat

    Eva, Retreat-guest 2023

  • I rarely do ”organized” trips and prefer to travel solo. I was not sure what to expect but my experience with this retreat exceeded my expectations! I loved every yoga class (my intention was to attend all of them). Tora & Alexis are both very professional, always well prepared. Not to mention very nice young ladies to hang out with... The location of this retreat was great. Such a beautiful place! I did not miss the access to the beach at all. I was also very impressed by the fact that the staff on the retreat center would memorize our names. It makes the whole experience so much more personal. I also appreciated that we did not have to get up too early in the morning for a yoga class, and really loved that we had a lot of free time! I need a lot of “alone time” to recharge and this was possible.

    Lenka, Retreat-guest April 2024

  • Retreatet er en perfekt blanding av yoga, avslapning og spennende utflukter og aktiviteter. I tillegg var det en hyggelig og sosial gjeng som reiste ned til Bali. Instruktørene er kunnskapsrike og engasjerende, og yogatimene passer for alle nivåer. Anbefales på det varmeste!

    Retreat-gjest 2023

  • Uforglemmelig opplevelse! God mat, fine folk, alt føltes veldig givende! Føler meg mer i kontakt med megselv, naturen og kroppen. Har allerede tipset flere venninnder om å booke neste retreat!

    -Tua, Retreat-gjest 2023

  • Det har vært en skikkelig fin opplevelse. Vi har hele veien fått mye informasjon og svar på spørsmål vi har hatt. Lokasjonen og retreatsenteret gjorde at man umiddelbart fant roen. Yogatimene har vært gode med en rød tråd som har tilført styrke, ro og refleksjon til turen. Har vært så gøy å møte mange ulike mennesker med lik interesse. For meg som reiste alene har det vært en perfekt blanding av sosialisering og mulighet til å gjøre ting alene eller i mindre grupper. Spesiell stor takk til Tora, Alexis og Camilla for å ha møtt oss med engasjement og varme, og er grunnen til at denne turen ble så bra.

    Miriam, retreat-gjest 2023.

  • Fantastisk og nydelige omgivelser. Jeg har lært så mye om kulturen her, og tar med meg så mange fine erfaringer hjem. Jeg har lært å bli mer åpen og mer takknemlig etter oppholdet her.

    -Mia, Retreat-gjest 2023

  • Flott retreat med masse yoga og sunn mat i avslappende og fantastiske omgivelser.

    -Hilde, Retreat-gjest 2023

  • En fantastisk måte å prioritere seg selv. Yoga i idylliske omgivelser, kombinert med god mat, sosialt samvær og spennende utflukter. Rett og slett helt nydelig <3

    -Retreat-gjest, 2023

  • Veldig fint og avslappende retreat midt i jungelen. Gode yogatimer både morgen og ettermiddag. Alt i alt en veldig fin opplevelse <3

 FAQs
