MANA SANCTUARY BALI
Reconnect With Your Body
Mana Sanctuary is not the traditional Bali yoga retreat. Mana blends evidence-informed recovery, longevity practices and ancient wisdom into a personalised retreat experience where yoga becomes one part of a much broader journey. Our retreats integrate yoga sessions into daily practices to connect breath and mind, stretch and release muscles, and aid the body in recovery. Each Mana retreat utilises yoga in some format; some will go deeper if you’re that way inclined. The choice is yours.
YOGA RETREAT BALI
Mana Sanctuary is a recovery and wellness retreat designed for men and women who carry a lot. Yoga at Mana is not a single class or session you book while on retreat – it’s part of the daily rhythm for our guests. We run yoga sessions through the morning practice that opens each day, the movement sessions for those who want to dive deeper, and the restorative and recovery practices that guide you toward sleep.
At Mana, yoga isn’t the destination. It’s one of the practices we use to help guests regulate their nervous system, reconnect with their bodies and create lasting wellbeing. Some guests arrive because they love yoga. Others discover it unexpectedly during their stay. Either way, our approach is about helping each guest find the practices that best support them.
We see yoga as one of the most grounding and effective ways to regulate the nervous system, build strength, and learn to integrate the body and mind, through breath. Every guest will have the option of practicing yoga daily on retreat, whatever the pathway chosen. That doesn’t mean that intense yoga sessions are compulsory; it just means that there are options to join morning sessions, evening wind downs, and additional practices throughout your stay at Mana.
Yoga sessions are designed to be comfortable and welcoming for those new to the mat and established yogis. There’s a strong, undeniable spiritual connection between Canggu and yoga – we invite guests to embrace the connection.

Finding Your Yoga Rhythm On Retreat
Many guests arrive carrying months or years of accumulated tension. Through slow movement, breath and mindful awareness, yoga becomes an opportunity to release physical tightness, quiet mental noise and reconnect with the body.
Each day at Mana begins with intentional movement and breath. Our Foundations Reset retreat is the core retreat for all guests that includes group morning sessions blending restorative, breath-led yoga and meditation to set the intentions for the day. Across the week, yoga continues to form different parts of your stay. Whether it’s in the morning flows, in mobility and movement sessions, or in the slower evening practices that are designed to help downshift towards sleep.
For guests who want yoga and movement to be the focus for the week, our pathways allow you to go deeper. You can layer 1:1 yoga sessions into your Foundation Reset, or choose additional pathways. The Movement & Vitality pathway includes four private movement classes across your stay, which can focus on yoga. Deep Rest offers the ability to work with a dedicated Restorative Yoga and Yoga Nidra guide to help you reset the nervous system with Yoga. Mindful Focus integrates one-on-one yoga sessions alongside meditation and ancient arts for clarity and connection.

Yoga Retreat Menu
Just as no two guests are the same, no single style of yoga suits everyone. Throughout your stay, you’ll experience different practices depending on your goals, energy levels and chosen pathway.
Ashtanga Breath Activation: traditional Ashtanga to learn the foundations of yogic breathing, with modifications for all levels and the option to power up for a stronger practice.
Pranayama: conscious breathing drawn from ancient yogic technique to fire the metabolism, quiet the mind and balance hormones.
Yin and restorative: slower, floor-based work through our Chakra Balance Workshop, Ocean Lovers Roll & Release (a blend of Vinyasa and Yin, ideal for surfers and paddlers) and Expand & Let Go, a workshop built around surrender and fascia release.
Vinyasa: dynamic, flowing practice, including our Hanoman workshop that opens the hamstrings, calves and hips and works toward the full splits.
Partner Yoga & Inversions: supported inversions and partnered stretch to build core strength, stability and trust.
Mana Pathways
The beauty of Mana is that you can choose your pathway, either prior to or during your retreat. While you may initially intend to focus on a yoga retreat, you may arrive and be taken to sound healing, ancient arts, longevity treatments, or detox sessions during your stay.
The Core Reset
Every retreat starts here. Six all-inclusive rest and regulation nights with protein-forward menus, infrared detox, invigorating cold plunge, compression and red light therapy and evening downshift that's founded in sound and breath to promote deep rest.
Strengthen clarity, presence and self
Work with our men's mental health coach, somatic guide, nervous system coach and mobility mentor in discreet and supportive sessions. You'll connect better, in all aspects of your life. This pathway is ideal for the modern man who holds a lot and rarely pauses.
