The Yogi’s Garden, Ubud, Bali
In-Person Retreat
The Heart of Tantrik Yoga
4-Night Retreat
Uncover your innate power in vibrant Bali!
Join us in the peaceful surrounds of the Yogi’s Garden, Bali, for a deep and immersive journey into the heart of Classical Tantrik Yoga.
At the heart of Tantrik Yoga lies a radically affirming view: that every part of you—your thoughts, your desires, your struggles, your joy—is an expression of the sacred. Through powerful self-inquiry, energy body practices, awareness cultivation, and interactive satsangs, we’ll explore what it means to truly see clearly, to move beyond our conditioned filters and open into intimacy with Being. We’ll explore how classical Tantra differs from Hatha Yoga, neo-Tantra and other contemporary spiritual paths, while engaging in accessible philosophical teachings, group discussion, and guided practices designed to bring the teachings out of the abstract and into your body and your felt experience.
This retreat is an invitation to step into a living tradition that embraces the fullness of life. Rooted in the non-dual teachings of Shaiva Tantra, Tantrik Yoga offers a radically different approach—one that is not aimed at transcendence or escape, but at embodied awakening in the midst of everyday experience.
Some themes and teachings we’ll explore together include:
The core orientation and view of Tantrik Yoga
How Tantrik Yoga integrates the mystical and the material
Embodied liberation (jīvanmukti) : awakening within everyday life
Shedding limiting beliefs and misconceptions
Embracing the full spectrum of human experience
Practices with mantra, visualization, breath, and subtle body awareness
Cultivating intimacy with reality beyond concept and conditioning
You’ll be supported by a kind-hearted community (kula), nourishing vegetarian meals, and the beautiful, natural environment of Yogi’s Garden. Whether you're new to Tantra or looking to deepen your roots, this retreat offers a potent and grounded entry point into a tradition that welcomes all of who you are.
Please note: The retreat is phone-free to support deeper presence; an emergency contact will be available for loved ones.
“The retreat was inundated with a tenderness and joy that emerged in deeper and deeper levels as our time together progressed. I am truly grateful, holding reverence for this experience as a sacred unfolding of love, beauty and connection. ”

Our Beautiful Venue
The Yogi’s Garden Retreat Center, nestled in the heart of Ubud, Bali, offers a lush, tropical sanctuary for our retreat. Surrounded by jungle, rice fields, and the soothing sounds of nature, this sacred land invites deep rest, reconnection, and inner exploration. The warm, fertile energy of Bali — known as the “Island of the Gods” — infuses the space with a natural sense of devotion, beauty, and spiritual presence.
The Yogi’s Garden has been thoughtfully designed in harmony with the land.
The nearest airport is Ngurah Rai International Airport (DPS) in Denpasar, approximately a 1–1.5 hour drive to Ubud, depending on traffic. You can reach Yogis Garden by arranging a private transfer, booking a taxi, or renting a scooter or car. We will create a ride-share sheet for all participants to coordinate shared transfers where possible.
“What an amazing experience! All the practices are so much powerful when done in person. Hareesh’s guidance was presice and inspired in so many ways. It was also a pleasure to be a part of an amazing kula and share space with all. Now after the retreat, as the integration continues, I feel a deeper connection to my Heart and self again. Thank you.”
