Your Awakening Awaits In Bali

There's a whisper in your bones calling you to remember who you are.

In the sacred waters of Bali, where rivers of prayer meet ancient wisdom, you'll find more than escape — you'll find yourself. This Spring Equinox, step into a journey that will bring your heart into deep resonance with your body's own fluid tide, where sacred intelligence awaits.

This is not just a retreat. This is remembrance.

The Deep Calling

You feel it, don't you? That persistent knowing that there's something more. A deeper current running beneath the surface of your everyday life. A sacred remembering trying to break through.

You've done the work. The meditation apps. The yoga classes. The self-help books. But something's still missing — a connection so profound it changes everything. A transformation that reaches into your bones and rewrites your story from the inside out.

This is that invitation.

...

The weight you've been carrying

You feel it, don't you? That persistent knowing that there's something more. A deeper current running beneath the surface of your everyday life. A sacred remembering trying to break through.

You've tried everything to find peace:

  • Meditation apps that promise calm but leave you feeling more disconnected
  • Yoga classes that stretch your body but don't reach the depth of your soul
  • Self-help books that fill your head with knowledge but don't touch your heart
  • Wellness retreats that feel good for a week but fade when real life returns
  • "Just breathe" advice that makes you want to scream because you're drowning in something deeper

But still, you're:

  • Exhausted from being everyone's rock while feeling like you're crumbling inside
  • Caught in an endless cycle of giving that leaves you hollow and depleted
  • Struggling to remember who you were before the world needed so much from you
  • Walking through life with a smile while carrying an ocean of unprocessed emotion
  • Feeling disconnected from your body's wisdom, even as you guide others to theirs
  • Longing for someone to hold space for YOU with the same depth you hold for others

The truth is that the very qualities that make you amazing at caring for others are the same ones leaving you burned out, disconnected, and wondering if you'll ever find your way back to yourself.

...

Why this journey is different

This isn't another wellness retreat where you'll learn a few poses and return to the same life. This is an ancient remembering, guided by someone who has walked this path for decades and knows its every sacred turn.

What transforms here

You don’t need to add more tools to your spiritual toolkit. You need fundamental transformation that touches every part of your life:

In Your Body

  • Release years of held tension you didn't even know you were carrying
  • Finally feel safe enough to fully exhale and let your guard down
  • Experience what true rest feels like – beyond sleep, beyond vacation
  • Move from surviving in your body to truly inhabiting it
  • Reconnect with pleasure, play, and spontaneous joy
  • Learn to read and trust your body's signals before burnout hits

In Your Spirit

  • Break free from the "spiritual bypass" trap of toxic positivity
  • Find peace with your shadows instead of trying to "light and love" them away
  • Access genuine spiritual connection beyond prescribed practices
  • Develop unshakeable trust in your inner knowing
  • Create sacred boundaries without guilt
  • Remember the magic you knew before the world told you to be "realistic"
...

Meet your guide

When I first answered the call of Bali's sacred waters eight years ago, I arrived as both teacher and eternal student. What I discovered changed everything I thought I knew about transformation, healing, and the body's innate wisdom.

My journey began long before, on a farm in South Africa, where the elements were my first teachers as a young girl. Nature showed me its raw wisdom and taught me lessons that would later weave perfectly with the ancient spiritual traditions I encountered in Nepal, India, and finally, Bali.

For over two decades, I've:

  • Studied with master teachers across three continents
  • Developed a unique approach that blends Western embodiment practices with Eastern wisdom
  • Guided hundreds of souls through profound transformation
  • Created sacred containers where deep healing becomes possible
  • Mastered the art of holding space for both light and shadow

But my deepest credential isn't in my training — it's in my lived experience of this work. Every year, as I return to Bali, I witness the island's magic transform not just my retreat participants, but myself. This is living wisdom, constantly evolving, constantly deepening.

What Others Have Experienced

As a student I shared various spaces, her online Enlifted Circles she held during Covuit 19, the Pawo Yoga Retreats live containers and the classes she facilitated as a teacher in London.

Having been in attendance of Liz’s classes since 2015, she definitely has a passion which is unmatched by most if not all yoga teachers. I would class her as a guide & a facilitator who shares her wisdom through deep personal work.

One thing for sure is that Liz has done the hard work, whilst she has the knowledge & knows the theories, she’s not been afraid to take the work head on and put it into practice. She holds space with the wisdom that we are all on our own journey so whilst trusting that the path is there, we need to clear / release and let go of past patterns to allow space for clearance to take place. Liz has this beautifully passionate way of holding space with complete honesty, there is no smoke & mirrors with the lessons she teaches. She’s been there, she’s trusted the process & can prove that the clarity comes from doing the deep work.

When in the room with Liz, you can’t help but feel her passion. Her soul is mesmerising & her energy is infectious. Yet there is no ego, no hierarchy - she doesn’t wear the work like a badge of honour. Everything that Liz emanates is through the truth of understanding yourself through yoga.

There is no-one else I’d prefer to learn from than Liz due to her unwavering belief in doing the work herself to have a true understanding of the ground on which she is teaching from.

The wisdom of water

In Bali, transformation isn't something you find — it finds you.

Here, where waterfalls cascade from sky-carved stone and the jungle whispers ancient secrets, you'll discover what eight years of pilgrimage has taught me: there's an awakening to life, a lightness, an openness to what belongs and remains and will sustain you. And you are worthy of it. You can have it.

This is where duality dissolves. Where Balinese prayers float on incense smoke and Western seeking meets Eastern knowing. Where darkness and light dance in perfect harmony, and your body remembers its own sacred rhythm.

...

Why Bali, Why Now

Bali isn't just a location—it's a living temple of transformation. Here, where daily life is a prayer and kindness flows like water, I've witnessed countless souls awaken to their own light.

The island lives in devotion. Every morning, flower petals and incense offerings paint the streets in prayer. Every evening, the jungle hums with ancient knowing. This is where I return, year after year, to remember—and where I invite you to remember too.

In this modern world of constant doing, Bali offers something rare: a place where your deepest giving can take rest. Where transformation happens not through force, but through surrender. Where ancient wisdom meets your present awakening.

What Others Have Experienced

I’ve been working with Lizaan since 2015. I started by taking her studio classes and was initially impressed by the power and compassion in her teaching. I was an endurance athlete before finding rocket yoga and through her classes and guidance, I learned for the first time to approach myself and my body with kindness, patience and love.

I attended my first yoga retreat with her in 2016 and saw how she so thoughtfully curated the experience to create a safe and supportive environment for practitioners of all levels, but more importantly to build a true retreat where we were safe to contemplate and reflect on whatever had inspired us to take a step back from our day to day life. Her retreats are, in a word, transformative. During Covid, I benefited from her coaching, as she guided me through the loss of my job and a deeply challenging career shift made necessary through circumstance.

What has most impressed and inspired me is how she is able to adapt her teaching to fulfil whatever I have needed from my time with her over the past 9 years.

I have been lucky enough to join her on 4 retreats; no experience has been the same but every one has been magical, and brought me the clarity or reset I was seeking in choosing to take time out of my busy life. Through her teaching, yoga became a tool for me to contemplate and create my own self healing. Her dedication, compassion and guidance inspired me to do my own yoga teacher training in 2018. Throughout, she has been a true mentor and inspiration to me and continues to teach me by her example.

Lizaan is the person who showed me that yoga is a tool for self healing, but it is also a mirror that provides you with the awareness to transform your own life. As a teacher, I aspire to provide my students with even a fraction of the guidance, support and love that she has given me through her teaching, her retreats and her coaching.
