Bali, Indonesia with Emma Poole
Nov 12-19, 2026
Step into a week where emerald jungles, sacred temples, and ocean breezes become the backdrop for deep transformation.
In Bali, we will move, breathe, and awaken together—immersing ourselves in ancient wisdom, soulful practices, and moments of quiet awe.
Each day invites adventure, from exploring hidden waterfalls to witnessing sunrise rituals that stir the spirit. This retreat is a journey into yourself, where magic unfolds naturally and every experience is infused with intention and wonder.

RETREAT REVIEWS
“This retreat was the perfect combination of adventure, community, yoga exploration, and vacation. For me, the highlights of the trip were the amazing people I met and connected with over dinner and during hikes, and the absolutely incredible beauty of the Azores!”

“I loved that you centered each day's theme and practice around the elements. It added variety and depth to each experience. I also thought your partnership with Annie worked extremely well - having her hands-on assists while you taught allowed more people to deepen their practices. Also the fact that we had so many sound baths was such a treat! I think you also did a great job of making everyone feel included, meeting them where they were with their practices, and working with the Solseed team to ensure our packed schedule ran smoothly!”
- Liz, Azores 2024
“I loved the balance of freedom and structure on this retreat. The arranged excursions were a perfect way to experience the island and I loved the options for free days. Everyone really got to disconnect from their phones and connect from each other, which led to amazing conversations!”
- Katherine, Azores 2024
“The location, staff and accommodations were amazing. Stephanie strikes a perfect balance between active and down time, and does a fantastic job of accommodating a group with varying yoga skillsets. Now that I know Stephanie better, it's no surprise that she attracts a group of wonderful and likeminded humans, and being among such a thoughtful and kind group made the experience so much sweeter. It was also the perfect length of time. Long enough to feel like you really get to experience the culture but not so short that you feel like you need to pack a ton in every day. I was sad to leave, but also felt ready and content with the experience when it was time to go (the best way to feel!).“

“I was nervous about traveling in a group where I didn't know anyone, but Steph made me feel at ease. Not only is she an amazing teacher (and she has the most amazing singing voice during class), but she is an amazing leader! Every part of the retreat was extremely well thought out - from the progression of the classes to how we would all get to know each other. She met everyone where they were at and supported you throughout the entire journey. I cannot recommend Steph or her retreats highly enough. She has so much to offer and I look forward to learning from her for years to come.”

“I loved the yoga paired with experiences. I also love that a lot of the excursions were optional and there was no pressure to participate. Isla Verde was an incredible home base and it was comforting to know that there was a lot to do and experience without having to travel far. And of course, having the best teacher as our guide. I'd say "sign me up" for the next one, but I already did that.”
- Liz, Guatemala 2025
“This retreat was exactly what I needed. The daily advanced yoga sessions were honestly a highlight - we had the time and space to work on asanas that you'd never get to in a regular gym or studio class because there's just never enough time. I walked away having done things I didn't think my body could do! The partner yoga class was such a blast, and the photos from it are priceless. That's the kind of thing that makes your retreats special. You found this perfect balance between deep practice, chill downtime, fun activities, and trips to beautiful spots around Mexico.
Would I travel with you again? I already bought my spot on the Bali retreat AND I'm bringing a friend with me. That should tell you everything.”
