WHERE
The beauty of our location is the peace it offers, coupled with access to some of Ubud's loveliest cafes. The famous Alchemy raw vegan cafe is located directly opposite your accommodation and The Yellow Flower cafe, known for its cacao shakes and turmeric health drinks, lies a short walk away.
YOUR HOTEL
Melati Cottages is a modest but spacious property with clean ensuite rooms, a lovely pool area and beautifully maintained grounds in the tranquil village of Penestanan (see photos above). Fan cooled and airconditioned rooms are available - please specify when booking.
THE SHAPE OF EACH DAY
Each morning begins in the beautiful Wantilan yoga pavilion with a half hour meditation followed by a yoga class that is both dynamic and restorative. Kathryn will guide you through the movements at your own pace, allowing for those who are new to yoga, and offering advanced poses for those with more experience and flexibility.
You will enjoy a delicious, healthy breakfast in Melati's dining room before the option of joining Jane Cornes Maclean for a relaxed, supportive creative writing session suitable for all levels of ability including none. Jane is an experienced and intuitive teacher who will gently guide you to explore the senses through writing.
This is followed by four hours' free time for massages, beauty treatments, a healthy lunch, rest, walking, etc.
In the afternoon, you will return to the Wantilan for more yoga with Kathryn, along with mantra singing.
Kathryn will offer two afternoon restorative yoga sessions for those seeking a more gentle, restful practice.
The rest of the evening is yours, to explore, eat, relax and socialise.
