Other Considerations:
International Flight: Please book your flights into Ngurah Rai International Airport in Denpasar, Bali (DPS). Once your flights are booked, please send your itinerary so that arrangements can be made for you to be met by our drivers and transferred to the northern coast. Arrival anytime the night before or on February 1st is acceptable.
NOTE: The transfer from the airport to the resort takes 3 hours by car, so please take this into consideration when booking your flights to ensure you arrive in good time. We can accommodate you a day early, if required, for an additional fee.
Travel Insurance: DO purchase travel insurance. It is highly recommended to protect your investment and health.
Vaccines: No specific vaccines are required to enter Bali, but it is always wise to consult your doctor for standard travel health advice for Southeast Asia. We highly recommend bringing good mosquito repellent.
Bring: A power adaptor for Indonesian outlets (two round pins, European style C/F).
Currency: The local currency is the Indonesian Rupiah (IDR). It is always good to have some local cash for small purchases, though credit cards are widely accepted at the resort. You can easily exchange money at the airport upon arrival or use local ATMs. If you shop at local markets, bargaining is expected, and cash is king.
Tipping: Tips in Bali are not mandatory but are highly appreciated given the local wages. You may want to leave a small gratuity for the resort staff, excursion guides, and massage therapists at the end of your stay.
Not Included:
International Flights to and from Denpasar (DPS)
Travel Insurance
Gratuities for resort staff, drivers, and excursion guides
Any extra spa treatments beyond the included massage
Extra snacks, specialty coffees, or alcoholic beverages not included in the Full Board meal plan
About K-Lea Gifford
K-Lea teaches with layered language that is both lyrical poetry and exacting prose. Her articulate instructions mirror Yoga's union of opposites. Her intention is to facilitate a sense of joyful freedom igniting within you the strength, confidence, presence, and discipline for creative, positive change. Learn more at https://www.k-lea.com. K-Lea is based in Durango, Colorado but teaches all over the world, both in-person and online.
My husband and I were fortunate enough to experience K-Lea's teaching first hand at a Yoga Retreat with her in Thailand in February 2025. It was life-changing. I learnt more about yoga, my body, my mind and self in those 5 days than I have every in my 20 years of having yoga in my life. She is one-of-a-kind. Her unique, hands on approach that gets right to the heart of yoga is like nothing I've ever experienced before. I've shared some of the photos of that experience below.
After more than 40 years of practice, K‑Lea’s relationship with Yoga continues to grow. Her background in Iyengar Yoga, Yoga therapy, transpersonal body‑based psychotherapy, meditation, and breathwork brings depth and warmth to everything she teaches.
Do I need to be experienced in yoga?
No. This retreat welcomes students with a genuine interest in deepening their practice. K-Lea’s teaching style is supportive, precise and accessible.
Can I come alone?
Absolutely. Many people attend retreats solo and leave with beautiful friendships and a sense of belonging.
Why Northern Bali?
Unlike the busy southern tourist areas, Tejakula offers space, tranquillity and a more authentic connection to Bali’s natural beauty and culture.
What is included?
Accommodation, full dining package, airport transfers, yoga sessions, cultural experiences, meditation, massage and curated excursions are included.
