Bali Bliss




Our home for two months, Desa Seni Village Resort, is set amongst lush rice paddies, only 10 minutes in one direction by car to the upmarket area of Seminyak, and in the other direction to Echo Beach and Canggu’s famous surf break. Riding with my surf board on the scooter is an experience – negotiating the traffic, potholes and random mangey dogs requires some skill, but mostly pure recklessness. I’m getting the hang of it though. Life at Desa Seni is good – early morning practices in the beautiful open-air yoga room followed by breakfast of fresh fruit, coconut juice, and free-ranged local eggs. It doesn’t get much better!! Breaks in the teacher training schedule are spent either lying by the saltwater pool, getting massages and pedicures in our rooms, or zooming down to the local beach for a quick surf – awesome! Teacher training is going well- with a very intimate group it has been lovely getting to know everyone personally and an atmosphere of caring and trust has been created. It is such a blessing for everyone to be away from their everyday lives, allowing them to be fully focussed on the process that is taking place.
