Join Cora Rosen, founder of Moksha Yoga Studio, for an unforgettable and inspirational trip to Ubud, Bali. Set in the middle of the island and regarded as the cultural centre of Bali, Ubud is a magical town surrounded by scenic rice fields, small villages, art and craft communities, ancient temples, palaces, and rivers.

A chic and playful boutique getaway, Soulshine is the perfect escape for a rejuvenating yoga retreat. Chill out with a refreshing juice pool side and enjoy a wide range of Balinese, contemporary organic, or vegetarian delights from the Soulshine Cafe.
