7 Yoga Mornings to Center
A Weeklong Morning Yoga Program for External Guests – 4-10 May
Start your day with intention. 7 Mornings to Center is a weeklong journey designed to help you deepen your yoga practice, reconnect with yourself, and feel more grounded — physically, mentally, and emotionally.
Each morning begins with a guided meditation and breathwork (pranayama), followed by a dynamic Hatha yoga practice that awakens the body and focuses the mind. This is more than just a class — it’s a structured program where each day builds upon the last, creating space for real growth and transformation.
You’ll be practicing in a small group, which means no getting lost in the crowd — you’ll be seen, supported, and encouraged throughout the week. It’s not your typical drop-in experience. Here, your journey matters.
After class, you’ll be treated to a revitalizing jamu shot and have complimentary access to ice bath.
Whether you’re looking to re-center, to deepen your practice, or to give yourself the gift of mindful mornings, 7 Mornings to Center is your space to reset.

Meet Dani, the program lead yoga teacher
Born in Copenhagen to a Swedish / Danish mother and a Dutch father, I adjusted into an international family quickly. Moving to countries all around the world and finally to Kerala, India, gave me plenty life experience at an early age.
India is where, truthfully, my yogic journey- Sadhana- began. Leading up to that was just exercise. I had not been introduced to anything different and this is where and what I wish to share – what Yoga can be – a healing practice.
I teach traditional Hatha in the form of Body Opening. Each class we will pick one area of the body to focus on. By the end of the week we will have covered a full body opening. Although we will work on a physical level, what this will do is trigger your energetic body to release stored/stuck energy and help move it out of the body. Relieving you from pain, tension, discomfort or blockages. I focus on alignment to help protect your body and moving to the breath. Together we will allow you to go deep into a dynamic meditation through movement of the body and have some fun along the way!
Can’t wait to share with you on the mat.
Meet Bryan
Expect dynamic sequences, intentional movement, and a steady rhythm that will leave you feeling energized, balanced, and connected. Bryan’s teaching is both strong and soulful—combining precise alignment with breath-led flow, and always delivered with calm confidence.
Whether you’re looking to build strength, refine your practice, or simply move with purpose, Bryan’s classes offer the perfect balance of power and presence.
Location: Xanadu Retreat
A Space to Breathe, Move, and Just Be
Tucked away in the hills just seven minutes from Kuta’s center, Xanadu Retreat is a peaceful sanctuary overlooking the Indian Ocean. The short ride up the slightly bumpy road is worth every second—as you arrive to a place where time slows down and nature holds you.
Our yoga shala is spacious, open, and bathed in natural light. Surrounded by tropical greens and ocean views, it’s a beautiful setting for a deep, intimate practice.
We also have a dedicated meditation space tucked into the retreat grounds—quiet, simple, and serene. It’s the perfect place to sit, breathe, and listen as nature wakes up around you.
Xanadu Retreat is more than just a place to practice—it’s a place to feel, to rest, and to return to yourself.
What our guests say…
Simply beautiful down to the last detail
I did the Yoga Immersion Week here with lovely Dani and got exactly what I was looking for and more: to deepen my yoga practice, to challenge myself and to reach myself even more. I’ve been doing yoga for a long time and am quite flexible due to my long ballet background, but Dani is an extremely experienced teacher and has definitely redefined my limits. What she promises, she has achieved in every respect. With the countless Dogas that are out there, this is something very special. The workshop style of the lessons, the partner work and their disciplined nature brought a lot to me personally.
I can hardly wait to go to this wonderful place where my foodie, exercise and aesthetic heart simply beats faster.

An impactful fun and bliss-inducing yoga retreat
The retreat was led by Danielle Rueb who is a supremely knowledgable Hatha Yoga instructor. I arrived with many years of practice but in need of a reset and, wow, did I get it. Right away Dani identified key alignment issues that will almost certainly supercharge the benefits of my regular home practice and she led me deeper into postures I have never been entirely sure of.
Each day began with 30 minutes of meditation, breathing and mindfulness and then, after a coffee break in the Xanadu restaurant (more on that in a moment), a 90 minute worksop focused on different areas. These were sooo challenging … and so rewarding! Dani was precise in her instruction and also kind and generous, and attentive to the needs and limitations of each student.
Following the morning practice is breakfast. I took the special every day. Everything coming out of their kitchen is a visual and culinary delight. Fresh juice, cut fruit, and the daily special plus coffees or tea. So delicious. As were the included lunches and everything else. Yum!!
Next was either free time — with a driver on hand to take us down the hill to town or to a fabulous local beach — or a scheduled field trip: a snorkelling trip in the “secret gilis” and a short, surprisingly really fun local excursion to make bamboo paper. And there was still time to lounge by the beautiful pool, sink into the cold plunge pool, and enjoy a massage (2 treatments included in the package) from skilled massage therapists.
And then a restorative yoga class in the late afternoon, joined by happy Xanadu surfers enjoying a separate, overlapping retreat. Together the two groups formed a diverse, happy impromptu community.
Evenings included several special (and super delicious) meal events or access to the shuttle. Yeah, it was a tough week. Lol
In addition to Dani — who, as I said, is amazing —the entire staff is top notch: capable, attentive, friendly and genuinely seeming to enjoying being there with us. Great drivers, an awesome restaurant crew, housekeeping, front desk and hospitality. Sincerest thanks to everyone!
Bottom line: Xanadu provides an impactful, fun and bliss-inducing yoga retreat in a deluxe retreat environment. I recommend it highly.

Pushing self to things that I never thought were possible
Personally, I participated in the yoga immersion week with Dani. The week was challenging and pushing self to things that I never thought were possible.
Truly magical week and already looking to when I can book my next trip back.
Location: Everything about the venue was stunning with it nestled at the top of the mountains with amazing views. The road getting up with it being the rainy season was the only reason for 4/5. Note: this is just part of being in Lombok.
I’ll definitely be back for more! The most special place 💕

Extraordinary experience
We opted for the Yoga Retreat week at Xanadu with my partner.
It was an extraordinary experience, a disconnection from the tumult of everyday life and a reconnection to oneself both spiritually and physically thanks to the yoga practices supervised by the sumptuous Danielle Rueb.
This meeting was a real revelation for me after 5 years of practice as well as for my partner who is a beginner in yoga.
The practice of Hatha yoga really allows you to work in depth on each posture, the progress is remarkable after only 6 days of practice.
Not to mention the place which is just sublime!!
I 100% recommend this Yoga retreat at Xanadu, no need to surf to live a magical experience I assure you!!
Danielle Rueb alone is worth the reason to come and spend a week at Xanadu, she is THE Yoga teacher not to be missed!!

The best yoga teacher ever
All Xanadu staff is very professionnal and keen to make your stay as pleasant as possible to meet all your requirements.
As for yoga activity, I strongly recommend the full one week yoga package experience with Dani, the best yoga teacher ever ! Dani is a high-level professional who combines in her practice the Western and Eastern yoga knowledge and helps to activate a total reset of your body and your mind with open meditations sessions and physical yoga exercices twice a day.
If you need to challenge your body, to boost your energy and find some peace in your mind and your heart, you should definitely experience the yoga classes at Xanadu Surf & Yoga Retreat !

The most magical week
I had the most magical week at Xanadu with Dani doing the new wellness and yoga program 😍
I arrived feeling emotional and exhausted and left a week later feeling so much more connected with my body and mind, refreshed, and energised.
The yoga with Dani was challenging, healing and helped me find balance after a turbulent time. Dani is the most incredible teacher with experience in India and Sri Lanka, the practice was different than anything I have done before.
She knows when to push you and supports you into postures you didn’t think were possible! The sessions were SO juicy (in a great way).
The morning meditations were held in the Berugak surrounded by nature with Luna (their gorg dog who would kept watch). They were a beautiful way to contemplate my thoughts and process my racing mind to find calmness for the day ahead.
Dani truely has the best energy, she’s super kind, caring and genuine – we had some beautiful conversations about love, life and wellness and I truely felt so supported throughout the week.
The food, space and other guests were all beautiful too!
I’ll definitely be back for more! The most special place 💕
