Join Us On a Life Changing Yoga Adventure 

I've teamed up with the amazing and inspiring international yoga teacher, Lindsay Gonzalez, to lead you on a journey of discovery through yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices, for 8-days/7-nights in one of our favorite places on Earth - Indonesia. Cruising from Bali to Komodo National Park and Flores, we will breathe, balance and bliss out on our beautiful ‘pinisi’ schooner, with twice daily yoga classes, delicious meals, like-minded companions, incredible nature, and abundant wildlife.  

Each day, we will practice yoga either on the ship's deck, a pristine beach, scenic hilltop, volcanic lake, or on a stand up paddle board. As we breathe in the fresh sea air and relish a stunning new view every day, our morning sessions will energize you for the adventures ahead, and our evening sessions will help you relax and unwind after exhilarating days on land and sea. If you feel like a refreshing dip after yoga practice, dive directly from your mat into the crystal-clear sea. There’s ample time for our other activities including snorkeling, kayaking, paddle boarding, hiking, nature and village walks, wildlife viewing, and singing, chanting and dancing around a bonfire on the beach.

This all-levels yoga and travel experience is ideal for anyone who wants to step out of the yoga studio and into a spectacular natural environment, surrounded by the enchanting turquoise waters of Komodo National Park. Our 8-day/7-night yoga adventure is a perfect opportunity to expand your existing practice, or, if you are new to yoga, to immerse yourself in the practice. We have designed the itinerary to balance activity, play and exploring with down time and lounging on the ship's deck.
