I have been to dozens of yoga retreats and Panchakarma. But none have altered me so deeply. The combination of expertise in both Tiffany’s Ayurvedic yoga practices and Jaya Somatic healing sessions are a healing experience everyone can benefit from. I’ll be returning. And they have deeply influenced my own medical practice too. I now believe that their approach is crucial to transforming our treatments of trauma & it’s deep psychological scars. \n~ Dr Molly Shorthouse\, BScBMBS(Hons) FACRRM (AST Mental Health)\, Australia \nI came to this retreat for many reasons: Having a deep trust and respect for Tiffany and her traditional yoga teachings. Being curious about somatic therapy and Jaya’s approach towards it. Then there’s Bali\, a tropical place where spirit is alive in its culture – where a million prayers are said everyday. And finally\, there was a block. A wall of anxiety I have been hitting my head against for months\, or years even. Something I was fully aware of but at a loss as to what it was and how to more on from it. My heart knew though. The moment I read about the retreat heart said ‘this was where I needed to go.’ \nThrough the nourishing environment created by these incredible women\, a tiny window appeared in the wall. Somatic guidance gave light and space for a deep forgotten trauma to rise up and be acknowledged\, expressed and heard. Yoga and breath supported its further release and the window became larger. By the end of the retreat\, the wall had become the window. And there I stood in the new light of self. The support and love from Tiffany\, Jaya and the other retreatants\, made this journey possible for me to go through. I hold them all in my heart with great gratitude. I feel this retreat has set me free. Life is renewed\, on an unknown path\, with heart open and full of light\, guiding the way. \n~ Heather Malek\, Film Artist\, ON \nBali had been calling my name for some time so when the opportunity came along to attend Tiffany and Jaya’s 10-day yoga\, ayurveda and somatics retreat\, it felt so right. It provided me the container I very much needed to calmly pause and catch my breath from the hectic daily life I’ve been experiencing. The daily exercises\, classes and exchanges were held in a beautiful and serene yet vibrant space and were deeply grounding and enriching; it was what my spirit was craving for lately. Some of the highlights for me were the open morning classes immersed in Bali’s beautiful and lush nature\, learning about the balinese ceremonies and culture\, and connecting with beautiful like-minded souls who travelled from across the world to be there. Starting the retreat as strangers with fellow retreatants\, it quickly became a family to feel safe with\, to be present together and to witness each other’s shifts throughout the process. I am very grateful for Tiffany and Jaya and the retreat. \n~ Amanda Eid\, Government worker\, Ottawa\, ON \nThe trip from Austria to Bali and Jaya & Tiffany’s Retreat was a solo trip\, so I was all the more pleased that I was able to make friends for life at the Retreat. The Retreat was very professionally structured and offered me a profound heart opening\, as well as the clarity and courage to choose a new career path by the end. \nI highly recommend the Retreat to anyone who needs a fresh start in life or simply wants to recharge their batteries and learn more about the incredible healing and health practices of Yoga\, Ayurveda and Somatic Trauma healing. \n~ Ivan Djordjevic\, Dance & Public Relations\, Vienna\, Austria \n  \n  \nRetreat Location:
