Meditation 101
For beginner & intermediate meditators
Jump start or deepen your Meditation practice and increase your wellbeing in a 1:1 retreat setting.
Experience what Meditation really is and can do for you!
Our Philosophy
Meditation is much more than just sitting cross-legged with closed eyes.
EVERYONE can do it! You just need the right guidance.
This private and personalized meditation and yoga retreat will help you find out what method works best for you and how you can introduce meditation and the most powerful mindfulness techniques into your daily life with ease.
Our philosophy is to come back into intimacy with our hearts and our most natural, unconditioned self. Ultimately this intimacy and deep trust in life lead to falling in love with our Self and all of life.
With more awareness of the heart and the body, we naturally act in the world with kindness and compassion towards ourselves, other beings, and the planet.

Travel Tips
Samyama is located south of central Ubud, in the Banjar of Kumbuh, Mas. We are off of a quiet road, about a 5-10 minute drive to the center of town. Our neighbors include local “warungs,” or cafes, other resorts and villas, spas, a fabulous health club, one of the best restaurants in Ubud, and more, all within walking distance.
We are about a 1-hour drive from Denpasar International airport.
From Europe, the most popular connecting flights go through the Middle East and Singapore. There are non-stop flights to most cities in Australia. From the Americas, flights connect through east Asia - China, Korea, or Japan.

We can help you organize drivers for local excursions and trips.
