This 7-day workshop with Emil is designed to introduce the practitioner, in the delightful mountain environment of Bali, to both a stimulating postural practice, and the magic that lies beyond the physical aspect of Yoga.
The retreat hotel, Ananda Cottages, Ubud, has two yoga studios that overlook rice fields and distant blue mountains - a truly beautiful environment to be. Participants will practice together between 6 – 7 hours a day in a combination of morning and late-afternoon classes.
Asana, Pranayama, Kriya-Yoga and guided meditation are combined with seminars in yoga philosophy and background information on the techniques involved. The course also offers an insight into yogic ritual, Mudras and Mantras, and includes paying respect to the spiritual environment with a private ceremony in one of the temples and shrines near Ubud.
All levels are welcome at this workshop in Bali, but for those who have never practiced Asanas or Pranayama, a good degree of physical fitness is recommended. |

Emil E. Wendel has been living in Asia since the mid-seventies, studying Indian thought as well as Chinese classical philosophy. His many years of residency in Nepal and India have brought about a passion for yoga, in particular the aspects of breath and meditation techniques in both the Buddhist and Hindu traditions. His courses offer a glimpse into the treasures of philosophy, and their application in daily life as yoga practice and ritual, all in the original context.
He is presently instructing in teacher training programs for Yoga Arts, of Australia, ShaktiSpirit and Radiantly Alive, of Bali, and Brahmani Yoga, of India. When not teaching or researching and practicing in Nepal and India, Emil is conducting his own workshops and retreats in Europe, as well as in Bali, Singapore, Thailand, Australia and Japan.

Ubud and its surrounding villages offer a spectacular range of beauty, crafts and personal encounters. Bali is the Island of Gods – there are temples and ceremonies everywhere, everyday. For those who wish to explore the countryside during the time off, taxis are easily available with the hotel on request. Likewise, motor scooters are for rent nearby. For dinner, we suggest exploring the many restaurants in Ubud – apart from typical wholesome Indonesian food, a variety of delicious cuisines from around the world are found within easy reach. To soothe the hard-working body and mind, we recommend a Balinese-style massage, offered both in the hotel and in the many excellent parlors in town. For those who are new to Ubud, we have a list of restaurants, parlors, and other topics of interest. |
