From the gentle embrace of the warm air and the sweet aroma of blooming flowers to the comforting smells of freshly prepared meals wafting from the kitchen, every moment felt genuinely alive. All of those sensory richness was Jannele Snow’s reality when she stepped in at Bali Floating Leaf, a place renowned for its transformative Bali group retreat experiences.
Jannele, a certified RYT 500 yoga teacher from Canada, brought 13 yoga enthusiasts to join her on this once-in-a-lifetime retreat. Her story is a testament to how a well-planned retreat can nurture both body and soul while connecting deeply with the surrounding environment.

The First Breath of Bali
“Almost surreal” was how Jannele described her first impression of Bali Floating Leaf. The photos and videos she’d seen online had only told half the story. Of course, what she couldn’t experience through a screen was the comforting air and the calming fragrance of tropical flowers mingling with the inviting smell of freshly prepared meals. Even the gentle meows of the resident cats when they’re curling up at her feet!
It was one of those moments where everything just clicked. For Jannele, this immersive welcome felt like a long, deep breath after holding it in for far too long. It was a reminder of why she had chosen this place for her retreat—not just for its beauty, but for the way it made her feel fully present, alive, and connected. It wasn’t just a getaway. It was an experience that spoke to her soul!
Why Bali Floating Leaf Stands Out

Since opening its doors in 2014, Bali Floating Leaf has set the gold standard for wellness getaways, earning TripAdvisor’s Traveler Choice Awards every year for an entire decade—and for good reason! It’s more than just a retreat; it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience that leaves every guest feeling cared for, inspired, and deeply connected.
For Jannele, the yoga shala was a highlight she couldn’t stop talking about. “The floors are so well-worn,” she shared, “that practicing on them almost felt like practicing at home.” There’s something comforting about a space that feels both familiar and luxurious—a place where you can truly let go and move with ease.
Beyond the beautiful spaces, it was the people who made the experience unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything ran seamlessly, from arranging last-minute errands to sharing local insights that enriched the group’s time in Bali. Jannele reflected, “Trying to organize a retreat without ever stepping foot in Bali would’ve been next to impossible with any other team.”
It’s this perfect balance of warmth, attention to detail, and genuine care that makes Bali Floating Leaf more than just a destination. It’s a place where you don’t have to even try to relax, because everything—right down to the smallest details—has already been taken care of for you! 🪷
A Feast for the Senses
One of the most unforgettable aspects of Jannele’s Bali group retreat was the food.
She described it as “unreal” in its vibrancy and flavor. Each meal was crafted to nourish both the body and the soul, showing how mindful eating can be a joyous experience rather than a chore!
This wasn’t about preaching the virtues of organic over processed food—it was about tasting the difference. The meals at Bali Floating Leaf made it clear why nutrition matters, not through lectures, but through every bite!
A Space for Growth

For Jannele and her group, the retreat wasn’t just about yoga poses or nourishing meals—it was about something deeper: growth, connection, and a chance to pause. At Bali Floating Leaf, they found a space that invited them to step away from the noise of daily life and truly reconnect with themselves and each other.
Holistic wellness wasn’t just a buzzword here—it was woven into every detail. From the thoughtful, eco-friendly design of the facilities that blended seamlessly with nature, to the staff whose care and attentiveness made every need feel effortlessly met, the retreat created an environment where healing felt natural. Even the energy of the place itself seemed to hum with life, reminding Jannele and her group of what it means to slow down, breathe, and simply be.
In a world that constantly demands our attention, Bali Floating Leaf offers something rare: a chance to let go, recharge, and return home feeling truly renewed! 🧘🏻
