Samdhana Mindful Living, Kintamani (2025)

About Alicia…

“I began teaching group exercise at 15, and in my 20s shifted to yoga. Over 30 years ago, it wasn’t the postures that drew me in-I was already athletic and strong. What captivated me was the meditation, the philosophy, and the quiet, graceful glow my teachers radiated.

Calling my work “Alicia Yoga” never resonated. I’ve always preferred collectives and collaborations. When I discovered the meaning of Samdhana-to put together, to integrate, to bring into harmony-I knew I had found the essence of yoga for me, and what I (and our growing team) hope to share.

My teaching style is fun, caring, intentional-and sometimes challenging. Real practice isn’t about perfection but embodiment. It’s about connecting the parts of ourselves and noticing how that connection ripples outward-into our relationships, communities, and the world.

This is how I live yoga off the mat too. My parents were deeply humanitarian, and their example shaped me. Giving back, being grateful, and taking responsibility for those with less has always been part of my path. Samdhana grew from this impulse: to carry yoga beyond the mat and into the world.

At Samdhana, we often start with the body-exploring ease and discomfort, strength and restriction, balance and resilience. As strength and mobility grow, and as breath retrains the nervous system, the practice touches physiology, psyche, and spirit. We embody connection more deeply, and it ripples outward into belonging, purpose, and renewed care for the world.

This is our focus on training world-class teachers:

* Body: Balance strength with mobility, stability with ease.
* Nervous system: Use breath to regulate and restore.
* Mind: Examine thoughts and beliefs with curiosity and compassion.
* Heart: Learn where to soften, release, and embrace forgiveness.
* Spirit: Practice the 8 Limbs, live consciously, and walk the path of dharma.

Yoga is never separate from how we live. It’s the weaving of awareness into daily life and the reminder that everything is connected.

At Samdhana, this is what we stand for: doing the inner work so we can live with clarity, purpose, and compassion-and from there, serve the world.”

Yes, Samdhana is emerging,
a rebirthing, if you will.
 We’ve been fairly quiet the last ten months, but silence is not absence. It’s the ground from which creativity, care, and responsibility emerge.

We’ve been relaxing, observing, listening, playing, creating and manifesting.

Creative juices flow when you pause and give it time and space.

From this pause comes our emergence: new offerings in 2026, rooted in sustainable movement, mindfulness, and care for body, mind, and planet.

What we’ve created is meant to be experienced, lived, taught, shared, and practiced…
with you!

And our team is growing and the enthusiasm is infectious!

Swipe to see what’s unfolding: our latest offerings, our ethos, and what we stand and live for.

And so it is.
We are here,
and we invite you
to walk with us
into this next chapter.

Journey Into Stillness: Mindfulness Retreat Training
March 13–24, 2026 
If you’re feeling called to step back from the noise of daily life and reconnect with clarity, presence, and a deeper sense of Love, then join us for this immersive retreat designed to take your practice—and teaching—to the next level.

Our 10-day retreat takes place during Nyepi, the Balinese New Year, a sacred time when the entire island pauses.

That means 👇

No lights, no traffic, no work, no noise, even the airport closes -
just stillness.

The only sounds you’ll enjoy are the living rhythms of nature: birdsong, geckos, frogs, and the occasional rooster!

We’ll spend four days preparing the mind and body for stillness, followed by three full days in complete silence, and end with three days of integration. This is an experiential training that combines short lectures on mindfulness, philosophy, and the neuroscience of awareness with daily practices of meditation, breathwork, movement, and myofascial release. These modalities will build resilience, support your nervous system, nourish your lymphatics, and build capacity for deep rest and clear seeing. Daily Q&A will help you integrate the work and apply it in your own life and teaching.

Our setting is wondrously held by the natural world - rainforest, rice fields, and the soundscape of wild Bali - where Nature is your greatest teacher.

Sometimes the most direct way to reconnect with your own true nature is by immersing fully in nature itself.

Bonuses:

* Includes our full Online Mindfulness Course (valued at $295) for FREE
* $200 early bird discount when paid in full by November 15, 2025
* Open to teachers and non-teachers alike
* Yoga Alliance accredited – 100 hours

This retreat is an invitation to pause, to come back to your own inner rhythm, and to remember what matters most. 
Come for personal practice.
Leave with tools to support others.
 If not now, when? 🤔

Our local team on the ground awaits your humble presence.

DM us for more details. We are nearly half full already!

What a privilege to know these very talented ladies!

If you love the ocean, sunshine, and yoga and want to expand your repertoire for teaching, then SUP YOGA ticks off all the boxes!

and are offering another 2-day course where you get to learn water safety, class set up, how to stay balanced on a floating surface, and much more. It’s a whole other kind of movement practice that fires up all those deep stabilizer muscles and feels oh so good, not to mention it’s super fun!

Dates: Aug 30-31
Location: Bali

DM for more details.
And see you on the beach!
