note
There will only be two meals included on this retreat;
welcome dinner and bye bye brunch.
Why? Because I want there to be space for people with different budgets and social-preferences.
This small island (only 8 square kilometres) offers both the most delicious insta-friendly-meals (approx 10-12 euro/meal incl drink) but it also holds space for those with a smaller budget interested in local specials (approx 3 euro/meal incl drink). I will of course provide you with recommendations for all of the above, so you can explore.

basics
Location
Nusa Lembongan is considered a part of Bali, and is therefore an Indonesian Island. It's, just like Bali, mostly Hindu population. The gods play a big role for the locals and daily offerings are a natural part of life here.
Tropica Tranquility, where most of you will stay, and also will house our movement-practices, is a newly renovated boutique-villa, which is built by one of my friends (and fellow Yoga-teachers on the island). There is hired local staff all the way through the process and they continuously give back to the community by using local collaborators.
They've only just opened for bookings (Autumn 2024) and we will be some of the first people to indulge in the beauty they've carefully created for us all. Because of TT's smaller size, it's possible to book an off-site space as well, in case you'd like to live bigger/smaller. The off-site option is just 5 minute walk from the shala and tropic tranqulity.
Season
The time of the year, February, is low-season in most of Indonesia (especially Bali), which is my fave time of the year there. The crowds are never huge in Nusa Lembongan, but they're definitely even smaller at this time of the year.
This means that the locals are even happier to welcome us, the nature is a bit more lush because it have just been rain-season and everything is more affordable. The weather will still be warm though and the sunsets to die for!
Transport
Getting to the island is fairly easy as there travels loads of boats (approx 30 minutes of sailing) from Bali all throughout the day and week. When you book your boat-transfer you will be dropped off/picked up by the boat-company of your choosing. They sail at different times, so you can book what suits you the best. Ask me if you're worried/confused.
Transport on the island itself can mostly be done by foot (opposite to rest of Bali, where everything happens on scooters) because of the size. However it's of course possible to rent scooters on the island to explore if that's your vibe.

the facilitator
Nanna is certified Physical Therapist graduated from VIA University College in Aarhus early 2019 and have been geeking out in combining this with her knowledge of Yoga-asana, mindfulness and neurology ever since.
In her everyday-life Nanna is teaching&practicing Yoga herself next to also having clients with muscolosceletal-complications and practices holistic therapy as well. O and she's a writer too and writes about psychiatry, mental health and neurodivergency.
Expect a full merge of these worlds under her guidance.
Besides having a wisdom that sticks deep in terms of Western Medicine, Nanna is also a certified MBSR-coach (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction), NLP-practitioner (Neuro Linguitic Programming) and has taken numerous courses in understanding the mind-body connection better. Of latest she's partaken in Satu Tumeolu's 50h course in Shake The Dust, which is a psycho-somatic practice that creates magic through dance, breath, asana and community.
Nanna is a an experienced spaceholder and have hosted events-retreats-trainings all over the world since 2017. Her teaching-method is nurturing no-nonsense combined with a big smile and laughs, so expect to be challenged as well as 100% supported as you're threading new waters.
In many ways I feel like my life have been a little off since I left Lembongan the first time (in 2017). Since then I've been back both for visiting and living multiple times... and it's like I learn something extra ordinary every single time. Last time I went to visit (March 2023) I learned, that I must visit once a year. For my health. For being able to actually hear myself. For feeling like me.
Lembongan and her oceans and scent and calm yet quirky vibe brings me *LIFE*.
Now, I cannot wait to bring you. And so so hope that she can do the same you - if you let her.
Looking forward to move, journal, eat, sit and ocean with all of you
Much love
Nanna
