SACRED BALI
20-26.4.2026
A Journey to Serenity
with Diana Saxberg & Michelle Girouard
Step into the heart of Bali for an unforgettable journey of renewal,
connection, and serenity.
​
In the lush, spiritual haven of Ubud, you’ll be guided by Diana, founder of Dia Yoga in Finland, and Michelle, an experienced healer and teacher from Western Australia. Together, they weave their gifts into a retreat that balances the depth of yoga, the healing power of mindfulness
and the joy of shared community.
Accomodation
Nestled in the middle of Ubud’s yogic center, yet embraced by an atmosphere of deep stillness, Gayatri Ubud is a haven for mind, body, and spirit.
Guests consistently highlight the peaceful energy, though centrally located, walking distance to markets, temples, and the soul of Ubud, while offering the serene retreat so many seek.
Rooms
The elegantly designed rooms blend traditional Balinese architecture with modern comfort, featuring handcrafted details, natural materials, and warm, inviting tones.
Spacious interiors open onto private balconies or terraces, where you can enjoy views of tropical greenery or the serene pool area. Every detail, from the soft linens to the thoughtful décor, is curated to create a sense of harmony and ease.
With its peaceful atmosphere, beautiful gardens, and the gentle sounds of nature, Gayatri Ubud is more than accommodation, it’s a home for
your soul during your Bali journey.
Organic Vegan Kitchen
At Gayatri, every meal is a celebration of nature’s abundance.
Much of our produce comes directly from our own organic farms, ensuring the highest quality ingredients while keeping harmful pesticides out of our kitchen.
Yoga Shala
Bathed in soft, natural light, this serene hall invites you to unwind into your practice, surrounded by garden views that gently blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors.
Here, every detail is designed to evoke peace: spacious seating, graceful Balinese architectural elements, and the calming rustle of greenery outside.
YOGA
Over our days together in Ubud, we’ll immerse ourselves in a program, lovingly designed to support self-growth, healing, and transformation.
Each day will flow in harmony with the rhythms of the island:
-
Morning yoga will be energizing, awakening your body and mind for the day ahead.
-
Evening yoga will be restorative, guiding you into deep relaxation and peace.
All classes are accessible to everyone, whether you are a complete beginner or have been practicing for years, you will be met exactly where you are.
​
MINDFULNESS
​
This retreat is also a profound opportunity for self-exploration, a journey inward to study yourself in new and transformative ways.
​
With Michelle’s gentle yet powerful guidance, you will explore meditation, mindfulness practices, and guided self-inquiry designed to help you learn how to listen more deeply, release what no longer serves you, and welcome what truly matters.
​
You will learn how to dive deep within, uncover your inner strength, and grow more loving toward yourself
JOURNEY BEYOND MAT
Our retreat will be more than yoga on the mat, it’s a rich exploration of Bali’s most breathtaking and soulful experiences.
Between our morning and evening practices, we’ll venture out to discover the island’s natural beauty, sacred sites, and vibrant culture.
Our journey will include:
-
Pyramids of Chi – Step inside Bali’s largest sound healing temple for a transformative immersion in vibration and frequency.
-
Campuhan Ridge Walk – A stunning hike along one of Ubud’s most scenic trails, where rolling green hills meet the open sky.
-
Ubud’s Bustling Markets & Monkey Forest – Wander through colorful stalls filled with local crafts, spices, and art, then connect with nature in the playful sanctuary of the Monkey Forest.
-
A Class at The Yoga Barn – Experience a world-renowned yoga class with one of Bali’s celebrated teachers in the island’s most iconic yoga venue.
-
Waterfall Temple Excursion – Visit a sacred waterfall temple, revered for generations, and now open for you to bathe in its purifying waters.
-
Nusa Lembongan Island Day Trip – Cross turquoise waters to this serene island paradise. Explore quiet beaches, kayak through mangroves, and soak in the island’s tranquil pace.
Every step of our adventure is designed to deepen your connection—to nature, to Balinese culture, and to your own sense of wonder.

Arvostelut
"Retriitin ohjelma & toteutus, Dianan huomioonottava ohjaus sopivat erinomaisesti myös hieman kokemattomalle joogaajalle. Retriitin ohjelma oli rakennettu huomioiden osallistujien toiveet ja tarpeet. Dianan valoisa, taitava, kannustava tapa ohjata sekä taito huomioida yksilöt ryhmässä inspiroi ja loi upean ilmapiirin retriitin kaikkiin päiviin. Suosittelen lämpimästi, myös miehille."

"Dianan retriitti sopii kaikille, jotka ovat kiinnostuneita oman hyvinvoinnin eheyttämisestä ja kaivamaan esille sitä sisäistä valoa ja sydämen rakkautta joka on kenties jäänyt varjoon elämän polulla.
Itsensä rakastaminen ja kehittäminen ei ole päämäärä vaan polku jota pitkin kuljemme. Loputon taivas on ainostaan rajana sille miten syvälle voimme siihen uppoa ja muuttua omiksi ainutlaatuisiksi kauniiksi elämämme kukiksi.
Yksi retriitin kohokohdista oli uusien mahtavien sielunsiskojen kohtaaminen. Tuli jälleen todistettua miten me olemme kaikki sitä yhtä suurempaa kokonaisuutta ja minkälainen voima piilee itsessämme kun yhdistämme voimavarojamme yhteen."

"Diana is a fabulous teacher. She always brings her beautiful positive energy to her classes. A very inspiring teacher that will always bring the best out of you. Always explaining the deeper meaning of each asana and what it will do on an emotional level. I was very lucky to attend her Bali retreat and I learned so much. I feel stronger and always happy to do a class with her"
-Fabiola, WA
"Dia-Yogan retriitti oli upea ja vaikuttava kokemus! Ohjelma oli todella hyvin rakennettu: elokuvamaisen upeassa villassa aamu- ja iltajoogat ja niiden välissä erilaisia retkiä mm. kävelyä rantaviivassa meditaatiohetkineen. Diana on todella taitava, valoisa, huumorintajuinen ja salliva ohjaaja Retriitti sopii monentasoisille joogaajille sukupuoleen katsomatta. Voin lämpimästi suositella"

"Dianan joogassa mieli ja sielu lepää. Joogaretriitti oli toteutettu suurella sydämellä ja vankalla ammattitaidolla.
Kaunis luonto, herkullinen ruoka, rento ilmapiiri, viihtyisä majoitus sekä kaiken kruunaavat ihanat joogatunnit saivat unohtamaan arjen ja työelämän. Dianan joogassa yhdistyy lujuus ja lempeys, ilo ja sielukkuus.
Diana on erinomainen opettaja, joka samalla antaa kaikkien kukkien kukkia.
Suosittelen Dianan joogaa vilpittömästi kaikille, jotka kaipaavat elämään niin mielenrauhaa kuin haasteita henkilökohtaisella joogamatkallaan"
