I have loved every moment of my retreat with you – you have created a safe and beautiful space where we were able to express ourselves in the most loving, kind and gentle ways, never feeling judged or put on the spot. I felt that all our opinions mattered and that we really connected as a group, all while discovering and rediscovering intimate parts of ourselves.
This experience taught me so much about myself and I am truly grateful for your gentle and loving guidance. I highly recommend this life changing retreat.”

“Highly recommend this beautiful retreat.
Firstly I had never done Yoga or meditation before. The idea of about a week away in between Bali sharing some special bonding moments with my sister and kind of a eat, pray, love journey for myself this sounded like an opportunity I wouldn’t want to miss out on especially with me wanting to be more active this year. Let me tell you this experience was everything I imagined, needed and more.
Alka is such an inspiring, kind, loving, passionate beautiful human being and her special touch was felt throughout the retreat. This retreat was full of pleasant surprises from the day we walked in - sentimental hand written notes, goodie bags with everything we needed for our stay, beautiful breakfasts and dinners together & perfectly planned tours.
The ladies that were apart of this amazing experience were a perfect complement to our group, we were all destined and meant to meet in Bali.
Thank you Alka for making this such a memorable retreat for me and for being so patient yet nudging me forward tenderly to be the best person I can be. To all those having second thoughts…..take the plunge make your booking you will not be disappointed!!!”

“The yoga retreat met all my expectations and more... This was mostly due to Alka being the AMAZING human that she is. Alka was attentive, kind, loving and very giving of her experiences and thoughts while still at the same time being mindful of each persons individual journeys. She is the glue and the icing on the cake for the retreat.
The retreat is well put together with reflection time, connection time with other participants, down time, activities planned that feed & nourish the soul and a purposefully put together meal plan.
The yoga practiced during the retreated was of mixed styles and also introduced me to some new thoughts and experiences around yoga.
The accommodation was extremely comfortable and very beautiful with the staff going out of their way to make us feel at home and cater to any requests we had.
For anyone being drawn to this retreat, I highly recommend it – you will not be disappointed! I feel extremely blessed and privileged to have been part of such an incredible experience with the three other amazing participants and Alka. ”

“This was my first yoga retreat. I read about it and something in my gut just told me that this was the one. And so I booked. And I wasn’t wrong. It was perfect for me in every way; the place, the people, Alka, just everything was spot on.
It was all I had wanted and more. Just pure magic; a week of wonderful learnings and truly special experiences.
Alka is your incredible mentor - she is patient and has a magic aura about her that makes you feel calm and loved; she creates a safe space for you to share your thoughts and she guides you to delve deeper. This isn’t just a yoga retreat - it’s so much more.
Alka, the words ‘thank you’ just don’t cut it. I will forever be grateful for having met you. This is one of those trips that will stick with me. I have come back from beautiful Bali with a full heart. ❤️❤️”

“I have had the great opportunity to join into a Detox-Course guided by Alka and Caron, which changed my lifestyle and kept inspired up until today. During this time I gave up smoking (not grabbing until today!), said good-bye to my every night glas of wine (or more), started to read consciously ingredients of products in the supermarket and began to be more picky about where I buy certain foods!
”Nourish Move Love” those three words make great sense to what I have learned in the course - Alka just had a way of connecting on an individual level to everyone taking part in that course, all for there very own reasons - of course having a positive change in mind. Excluding certain (and actually quiet a lot of unhealthy foods I wasn’t aware of even though I considered myself ways as healthy eater) nourished my soul more than ever ... turned into more self-love ... made my body dance during yoga !!! ”

“There are many things I can say about Alka but the one thing that stands out most for me is her calm nature. She truly makes you feel at peace with yourself. Everything Alka does for you is truly to her best abilty and done in perfection down to the finest details. She is my inspiration. ”

“Alka’s passion for living life holistically is infectious. Our community has benefitted greatly from the generous way in which she shares her knowledge, opens her heart and relates with compassion and caring.”

“Where do begin...
This was my first yoga retreat in the beautiful north of Bali.
It was just perfect for me, I felt like all the sessions were pefect for my level, the workshops and topics, perfect for me. It felt like it was tailor made. I trusted my yoga teacher and appreciated the care she took in making this a trip of a lifetime. The resort was tranquil and the staff could not do enough for us as a group, always from the heart. Our carefully designed dinners teased my tast buds.
Alka, thank you for making a difference in my life.”

““In attending Alka’s retreat I reawakened to the center of me that I had disconnected from over time. Alka is a master teacher and guide. She leads by example, and from the moment you meet her, her authencity and grace are palpable and inspiring. I learned so much not only about yoga and nutrition, but in ways of being that will serve me for years to come. Her program is organized exceptionally well with most every detail planned out and accounted for. Pack lightly, and hold tight to the gratitude of expereince you will gain after attending. Saying yes to the journey, is saying yes to yourself. What an amazing start.””

I simply don’t have words to describe the love, support and understanding Alka radiants to each of her clients. This experience was just life enhancing. ”

“Bali - the island of Gods - you will think - what more can one say ...
My sister and I attended Alka’s yoga retreat in February 2019. Alka is a wonderful woman, so caring and passionate for what she does, an amazing guide, yoga teacher and nutritionist. Everyday of the retreat was planned to the tea! It allowed the attendees to not have to think about anything, but ourselves and “simply be” as Alka says...
The retreat for me was not just daily yoga classes and lying under the sun, but a whole journey to rediscover myself and find the piece I needed to find inside me. It reminded me to be thankful and appreciative of the world and everyone around me.
The places we visited, the people we met, the yoga classes with the most beautiful views, the daily planned activities and healthy meals, oh my!
A journey I will never forget! Thank you Alka for making those few days so special and memorable!”
