Denise Leicester, Yogic Healer and Founder of UK's ila Spa Brand Facilitates
Intensive Three-Day Spiritual Journey

Sayan, Indonesia - (February 25, 2014) – There are a few places on earth where the physical and spiritual are intensely connected. Those sacred spots that give healing energy and inspire creativity and visioning. For yoga teacher and yogic healer Denise Leicester, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan is such a place and the ideal setting for her journey of wellness and self discovery. Denise, who is also the founder of the organic and ethical ila spa line in the UK, will be offering a three-day Wellness & Healing Retreat at the resort from May 22 to 25, 2014.

Fresh from recent renovations to all of its villas, guestrooms and spa, Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan features a Balinese architectural style that merges traditional and contemporary. The recent enhancements draw from the island’s natural and serene beauty by using materials sourced from Bali including traditional ikat fabrics, shell, coconut and Balinese handicrafts and colors inspired by nature, such as the dark orange of a sunset and shades of green and brown from the trees.

In this magical setting hidden in the valley of the sacred Ayung River and flanked by rice terraces, coconut groves and lush tropical jungle, Denise will be facilitating a special retreat over three days that includes yogic-healing, chakra-balancing, meditation, sound healing and personal immersion, drawing on the healing energy inherent in our own souls as well as the energy and vibrancy from the surrounding environment.

Four Seasons Resort Bali at Sayan invited Denise to create this wellness retreat as a natural continuation to a new spa concept, introduced a year ago, which incorporates authentic spiritual traditions, such as chakra balancing, Balinese Ayurvedic practices, the power of nature, yoga and meditation to maintain wellness and peace of mind.

Denise has spent a lifetime exploring the dynamics of natural healing through rural communities from India to Dubai, and spans Eastern and South American healing traditions. From extensive studies on the topic, Denise believes in the power of healing energy – a higher vibration capable of facilitating profound inner change.

The extensive program has a different focus for each day and includes, among other activities, various yoga sessions including yoga Nidra, Jnana, and Nada as well as spa treatments, meditation, morning walks and a purification and blessing ceremony. The experience of the retreat is enhanced with the setting, which provides a serene, nurturing environment – ideal for treatments that offer a deep inner focus. This three-day wellness package is perfect for couples looking to reconnect, singles looking to center and focus for the next exciting life chapter and business executives looking to de-stress and recharge.

“We are really excited with this timely program and with a gentle yet intense itinerary we created for the three days, we hope to provide guests with an education on lasting wellness, and that they leave the Resort feeling re-energized and inspired, and with a new outlook on life,” says Luisa Anderson, regional spa director, Four Seasons Resorts Bali, Langkawi and Maldives.
