Experience the empowerment of Soulful Calibration

The Smarana Yoga Retreat is an intensive yoga immersion that is a guided journey through sensory experience to reunite your inner and outer worlds. This is the perfect opportunity in a perfect setting to renew the soulful inspiration that drives our most cherished desires and deep inner purpose. Our Smarana Yoga Immersion is a purposely curated “yoga and meditation intensive” for those with the desire to return to their truest nature. 

We will take you on a  deep dive, completely absorbed, into yoga, meditation and self reflection with daily morning and afternoon Yoga and meditation sessions, lunchtime Yoga Nidra, journalling, writing exercises, and nature walks, all while being sequestered in the rural beauty of Bali’s magical landscapes.

Everett Newell, the founder of Zuna Yoga® will lead you through this unforgettable experience to discover the soulful delight of self remembrance.  This is a wellness experience that is sure to illuminate insightful realizations to deepen your understanding of yourself and reconnect to that inner compass guiding your life’s journey.
