← All Indonesia retreatsAbout this selection
The three Gili Islands are entirely car-free — horse carts and bicycles only. Surrounded by sea turtles and some of the clearest water in Indonesia, the Gilis offer genuine simplicity. Yin yoga in Gili Islands benefits from the culture of slowness that this region embodies. Long-hold passive poses, often held for 3–5 minutes, are complemented by the unhurried pace of life — making this one of the world's best places to deepen a yin practice. August is one of Gili Islands's best months for retreat — West Nusa Tenggara's climate is at its most conducive to outdoor practice, the crowds are manageable, and teachers report that groups arriving in August tend to go deeper than at other times of year. It's a popular booking month, so plan ahead.
