Last Saturday, Dajuma happily welcomed Mr. Syed’s family and friends, for a memorable barbecue night in our tropical garden. Mr. Syed is a yoga teacher and a regular at Dajuma. Before the pandemic, he usually stayed during Nyepi Day with his family.

This time he came with 8 of his friends to practice several yoga sessions during the week-end. They staid from friday to sunday and had a special barbecue dinner in our garden, enjoying the food as well as their stay. They plan to return for another yoga and meditation weekend sometime in June.

THE BEST OF YOGA

Bali is often mentioned in guidebooks as a great place to practice yoga. Anyone who has visited Bali can only confirm this opinion. Because of its culture, its exceptional nature and the three pillars of its philosophy (harmony with the gods, nature and between humans) Bali is indeed a privileged place for yoga. And Dajuma is no exception to the rule: with its tropical park and its atmosphere of serenity between heaven and earth, its spa and shala equipment, and its caring full-time yogini Tini, Dajuma offers its clients daily sessions that invigorate the body and soul. Pictured is an amateur female in action, a member of the local Novri Yoga community. Beginners as well as experienced practitioners are welcome!

In the end of their stay, they really enjoyed the entertainment night with Balinese music and dances, everybody was very happy some of the participants also decided to extend their stay with us. We hope to see you back next year! Meanwhile enjoy the festive season and a beautiful end of year celebrations.

21 June: Yoga day

/in , , ,

Yoga is a spiritual form of science that originated in ancient provinces of India.
 Popularly practiced by sages ans saints, the word « yoga » comes from the ancient Sanskrit « yog » which means “to harness with”.
 Yoga enables us to join our soul to immortal divinity and helps us to entrust the control over our physical and mental health.
 With a strong spiritual and meditative core, yoga offers a variety of physical exercises that lead to both physical and psychological well-being.

The idea of 21 June as the yoga day was first proposed by India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2014. 

Its unique environment makes Puri Dajuma a very special place for revitalisation and yoga practice, with a full time yoga teacher at disposal.
 Choice of great ocean view atmospheres: the yoga shala on top of the property, the lawn by the beach and the large trees shadow, the volcano rocky beach itself… 

On the picture, 22 guests, who celebrated the Yoga day in Dajuma, could experience these opportunities for a week, deeply breathing by the sea, and lulled by the waves sound on the cape.

Recently, Dajuma had the great pleasure of hosting a group from Romania. Around the organizers, Ruxandra, Ciprian (www.masterymeditationretreats.com), and Hindu priests from Bali, more than fourty participants initiated themselves to the practice of yoga and meditation according to the 3 principles of Tri Hita Karana, the famous traditional philosophy of Bali: harmony with the Gods, harmony with nature and harmony between humans. A great moment of sharing, very symbolic in this beginning of the year!

IDEAL PLACE FOR YOGA

/in , , ,

Located in the West part of Bali, renowned for its authenticity and tranquility, Puri Dajuma is the ideal place where to placate and revigorate your body and soul by practicing yoga, meditation or any other ways you prefer.
Last week we welcomed 2 yoga groups. The first one from Austria, driven by Monika, came with 8 members for the fourth time since 2015. They practiced yoga twice every day (morning & afternoon). We also arranged special “Melukat” / Water Blessing Ceremony as their special request.
The second group was Elitsa’s group from Bulgaria, with 19 participant for their first time in Dajuma. They did yoga once a day, and enjoyed a lot our massages at our spa during their spare time. For other groups who would like to come, we are pleased to offer specific arrangements such as ceremonies, special decorations, events, tours, etc.).

YOGA AT HOME !

/in , ,

Practicing yoga at Dajuma is increasingly popular among our guests. Under the leadership of our yogi Tini, this discipline of body and mind can be practiced in multiple places in our resort: in our Baruna hall with its breathtaking view of the ocean, but also on our new pool deck Bendega or in the gardens bordering the beach. Another possibility consists in practicing it from its own room as shown by Monika on this picture.

ABSOLUTE FREEDOM

/in , ,

Would you like to breath deeply, change your mind, have some exercise on a regular basis? Puri Dajuma allows all that with a choice of venues, or in  natural and quiet places.
Besides the every-day yoga session which usually takes place in the Baruna hall with an overhanging view of the ocean, our guest Karin on the picture, found her own atmosphere for meditation.

What will be yours ?

Tumpek Landep celebration

/in , ,

Tumpek Landep, or the Day of the Iron, for the Hindu Balinese, is devoted to Sang Hyang Pasupati, the Lord of metal tools and weapons. This celebration is specific to weaponry and vehicles (containing iron elements). Dajuma cars, motorbikes, tools, fishing equipment etc., are washed clean and decorated with small, color offerings made of palm leaves. The meaning of this is, just like the sharp iron: With this celebration,  Hindus pray so that these material things continue to be strong, bring good fortune to their owners, and clean their soul.

Dajuma Yoga and Mindfulness, not only for our guests but also for our staff !
Dajuma has been offering yoga sessions since 2011. Tini, our Yoga teacher, has a 13 year experience in Ashtana Yoga practice (alignment of movement and breath). She proposes our guests 2 public sessions per day at 8am or 9am. Private sessions are also possible on demand. Yoga sessions take place either on Dajuma front beach garden or in our Baruna hall where up to 15 people can relax from a 4-sided open building offering a breathtaking view to the garden and ocean. To ensure leading edge expertise in our yoga sessions, we invite twice a year Guru Manohara who gently leads the group and provides every participant with a unique experience. Also, since yoga is not that popular in Bali, we invite our staff to join once every week. This is a great opportunity to be together in a rather different atmosphere than the usual work context. Make sure you have a yoga session with Tini whenever you wish to!
