There is nothing more relaxing, not only for the body, but also the mind. Those words my wife told me not long after we met years ago, and, being a Bhuddist she practices her principles taught to her by a Yogi teacher she studied under for well over a decade. Every morning she will go through a series of stretches and movements, breathing exercises and meditation. As a Bhuddist myself I do not carry out what my wife does with the exception of meditating. That, I enjoy and especially on a solitary stretch of beach or in the midst of a jungle. Recently on the Baliblog Forum somebody asked about Yoga teachers, courses and retreats in Bali. I could think of only one superb place on the island that offers everything – Balian Yoga Centre.
The creator of this magnificent place, Nirmala Mayi, was involved in a large clothing production business for eight years in Bali with her partner, and, she also started a restaurant in Bali, ‘The Golden Angel Cafe‘ which is still successful to this day. But it is the Yogya Center that is her life. Yoga lovers and those who don’t know much about Yoga but want to be guided in the right direction, then I strongly urge you to get in contact with the Balian Yoga Centre. They will help you to discover you, offering an opportunity to explore Yoga.
