MANA SANCTUARY BALI

The breath is where reset begins.

At Mana Sanctuary, breathwork is not a simple add on to your retreat; it’s woven into everything we do. From your morning practice to your evening wind-down: from learning how to practice somatic release, to understanding how we’re going to recalibrate the nervous system over the week. Breath is the thread that holds your retreat together.

BREATHWORK RETREAT BALI

Breathwork is one of the most powerful ways to re-centre yourself and release tension. For the uninitiated, breathwork sounds too simple to be so effective. And yet, for those who have experienced the powers of breathwork, the benefits cannot be understated.

Modern life takes its toll on the nervous system. Tension building over busy weeks, high-pressure days, and the quiet exhaustion that creeps on you when you’re an innately productive person. Through guided, conscious breathing, you can release stress, improve oxygenation, and return to a state of clarity. Daily breathwork has been proven to lower stress, enhance performance, and boost cognitive function.

At Mana, we use breathwork as both daily and intensive practices on retreat, blending mindful breathing with gentle movement, and body awareness. We honour the breath as both ancient wisdom, and a science-backed practice.

Breathwork is used through every retreat – in the morning rituals that set the tone for your day, in the one-on-one somatic sessions designed to clear stored emotion, and in the evening practices that guide you toward deep sleep. For those that want to go deeper, we have retreats that lean more heavily on breathwork sessions.

THE MANA APPROACH

Breathwork on retreat, layered with intention.

If you’ve come looking for a breathwork retreat in Bali – you’ve come to the right place. We use breathwork through every retreat:

Morning Breath Practices Each day at Mana begins with intentional movement and breath. Morning classes integrate breath-led awareness yoga, pilates and mindfulness to ground the day.

1:1 Somatic Breathwork Your private breathwork session goes deeper. Working with a coach, you will learn conscious breathing techniques for enhanced oxygenation, emotional release, and as a way to rebalance the nervous system.

Evening Wind-Down Rituals Every night at Mana closes with sound and breath. These guided practices are designed to complete the nervous system cycle – helping your body recognise that the day is done, and it’s time for sleep.

FEATURED IN

Every retreat starts with breath. Some go deeper.

All guests at Mana Sanctuary begin with the six-night Foundation Reset – our core program that includes daily breathwork classes, guided evening wind-down practices, and the full rhythm of rest, nourishment and movement. From there, you can choose to add one of our specialised Pathways for a more focused breathwork and healing experience.

Mindful Focus is our Pathway that is directly tied to breathwork as a primary focus. The Mindful Focus pathway will involve working one-on-one with a breathwork trainer alongside a mindfulness coach, ancient arts guru, and mind-body specialist. The pathway uses breathwork alongside Tai Chi, Qi Gong, guided meditation, and mindful eating to restore clarity, focus and presence.

The Men’s Mental Fitness pathway also includes a dedicated 1:1 breathwork session, nervous system coaching, and mobility mentoring. This is a pathway designed for men who are ready to go inward, led by breath, presence and the understanding that strength starts with stillness.

THE SESSIONS

What is Somatic Breathwork?

Somatic breathwork is a holistic practice that focuses on the interconnectedness of mind and body. It’s the practice of using the breath to promote self-awareness and activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.

Somatic breathwork at Mana Sanctuary is not a workshop exercise. It is a private, guided breath journey conducted in the peaceful setting of our riverside sanctuary, led by an experienced breathwork coach.

Using conscious breathing techniques, the sessions will improve oxygenation, support emotional release, and rebalance the nervous system.

Many guests describe a sense of lightness, release, clarity. And a reconnection with themselves that they hadn’t realised they were missing.

You don’t need to be experienced with breathwork. You just need to be ready to breathe.

THE SETTING

Breathwork Retreat in Canggu, Bali

At Mana Sanctuary, your sessions unfold along the river, surrounded by towering palms and the organic textures of Bali’s landscape.

Our outdoor jungle gym provides an extraordinary space for breathwork and movement classes. Private sessions take place in our Riverside Wellness Spa – a waterside sanctuary of soft lighting, Onyx stone, and marble that supports complete stillness.

Mana Pathways

Mana Sanctuary has created seven Pathways to reset and rejuvenate in a way that meets your needs. You have the freedom to choose the Pathway that aligns with where you are right now – and where you want to go.
