Program outline

We seek to create a comprehensive balance between practice, theory and the Aligned Flow teaching methodology in our program. You’ll graduate with the informed ability to teach to of all levels and curate private, group and online yoga class experiences.

The Aligned Flow is a teaching philosophy that was developed to guide students through asana practice in a way that is intuitive, accessible, inclusive, and just makes sense to the student body.

Developed by internationally certified yoga teacher and studio owner Richelle Morgan, she recognized the need for a more inclusive and sustainable way of teaching that gave students the ability to connect to the postures and practice on an individual level vs. a one-size-fits-all mindset.

In this style, we meet students where they are and align with the mind, body, and spirit connection through how we hold space and create yoga experiences for the student body.

As a teacher, you will have the opportunity to share this movement in a way that is clear, directional, authentic and gives space for your unique voice to shine. As a student, you learn how to connect to your practice based on your individual needs. 

The end result is more than just a yoga class. It's a yoga experience.

Yoga off the mat

Seva is the act of giving back and plays a big role into how we live our yoga off the mat. Aligned Flow Elements founder, Richelle Morgan, has been practicing seva in Tulum for the past 8+ years through her active participation in dog rescue and as a volunteer for animal welfare initiative Help Tulum Dogs.

We hope to inspire our students to bring this concept into their own practice and community and have integrated 'seva' into the YTT programs through our signature graduation class events. Your Tulum program will support local animal welfare initiative Help Tulum Dogs.

*Feedback from lead teachers, practicals and group study labs play an integral part in this program and create a comprehensive learning experience. You'll graduate with full sequenced classes to help kickstart your career as an Aligned Flow Elements teacher.

Bali Indonesia | The Five Elements Retreat

April 1 - April 6, 2024

The welcoming people, the rich culture, the fresh food, the lush jungle landscape and flawless beaches, the beautiful smells of incense, flowers and sacred offerings… this place gives us the heaven on Earth feels! Being blessed with the opportunity to explore this island since 2014, every year since we’ve made our way back, sharing the “Island of the Gods” with women from around the world. Each time, we envision ourselves returning again soon. Its energy calls us, pulls us in, and expands our hearts and souls with each journey. We are so proud and excited to honor our spirit led vision to create a truly rich experience for you! This offering and special invitation is for an intimate group of women who feel called to this sacred land to experience what we call “THE FIVE ELEMENTS”.

Sisterhood + Local Culture + Regional Cuisine + Relaxation + Fun
As with the five elements in nature, this retreat has been thoughtfully orchestrated with each element creating the other and working together to support a beautifully balanced vacation experience. Aside from Bali being one of the most high vibration, spiritually magnetic, lush, naturally and culturally beautiful places on earth, our love of the culture, food and spas inspired us to create a retreat where you can deeply nourish yourself, indulge, and have fun with kindred spirits.

What will we do?
We’ll see amazing sights, explore majestic temples, splash around in the sea, eat fresh and organic regional cuisine, get massages and more! Aside from all that we have planned with this mainly all-inclusive journey, you will have some time on your own to explore the island. Spend a half-day at the spa for a relaxing Ayurvedic body treatment and fragrant flower blossom bath, wander through rice fields, shop the colorful markets, splash around in a waterfall, take a yoga class, visit the Monkey Forest, check out the night-life… after all, this is YOUR time to feed your mind, body and soul, as you wish.

What’s included?
The Five Elements Retreat will include:

~ Amazing accommodations in Ubud

Our journey will take place in the heart of terraced rice fields located in the creative mecca of Ubud – the most desirable location in Bali. Think swaying palm trees, therapeutic breezes, beautifully landscaped rice terraces and wind chimes singing away. Each room is spacious and well appointed with modern convenience, yet maintains a peaceful Balinese feel. Enjoy spectacular pool and rice field views to soothe the body and mind. Just a short stroll away, you will find a large variety of shopping markets, world class restaurants, spas and yoga studios galore.

~ An airport shuttle and ground transportation to and from all group excursions

The drivers that we have arranged are safe, extremely kind and accommodating. You will be warmly greeted at the airport and shuttled in an air-conditioned vehicle with other retreat guests.

~ Nourishing and indulgent breakfasts, lunches and dinners (with vegan, vegetarian and meat options)

Most meals will be prepared by our outstanding chefs as well as local, intentionally chosen restaurants where we know the food is amazing! We like food. A LOT! We like to smell it, taste it, take pictures of it… in fact, it’s one of our favorite things about visiting new places around the world – and Bali happens to be one of our top choice regions for food. Delicious is an understatement and we’ve yet to try anything that we have disliked. You can taste the freshness, nothing is processed, the flavor is amazing, and you’ll go home wishing you had a personal Balinese chef of your own.

~ Excursions & Classes

We have a beautifully balanced selection of excursions and classes for you including:

A visit to the Tirta Empul Holy Water Spring where you will take part in a spiritual cleanse at one of the largest water temples in Indonesia. The water in the pools is believed to have magical powers and local Balinese as well as tourists come here to purify themselves under the 30 spouts of natural, spring fed water.

A visit to one of the most beautiful rice terraces in Bali for a hike, scenic outlook, and photos…because the photo opportunities are amazing here! This ancient valley has a timeless quality and is an unforgettable sight to see.

A cultural experience such as a flower offering class to learn more about the ‘canang sari’ you’ll see all over the island, which is a therapeutic ritual (meditation in motion) that will encourage your artistic side and creativity while learning more about Bali’s rich culture – or – a private Balinese interactive cooking class where we will pick out fresh and local ingredients and unique spices from the “Island of the Gods” and cook and enjoy our own meal, led by a Balinese chef.

A visit to one of our favorite local spas for a relaxing traditional Balinese spa experience. If this sounds like bliss… it is! Given that Bali is an epicenter for all things spiritual, spa-ing here is a quasi-religious experience; and this top of the line spa is a high altar to indulgence. Set in lush greenery, this healing sanctuary ooses serenity and the rituals that take place inside will surely leave you wanting more.

Sisterhood circle empowerment sessions to awaken and guide you into living your divine plan. Whether you know it or not, you are a divine being with a purpose to be fulfilled in this lifetime. Discovering your divine plan is a process, like peeling back the layers of an onion. No one can reveal this to you… rather, it is a process of self discovery. And to know yourself, you must go within. These interactive sessions will assist you in fully embracing the vision that you have for your life, walking the path of your divine purpose.

Exercises and activities led by our guest host, Andrea (@metaphysicaldre). Andrea is a Reiki Master Teacher, Meditation & Breathwork Guide. With over 5 years of experience, she has assisted hundreds of souls on their healing journey. Andrea focuses on hands-on healing, mindfulness and self-awareness practices to help individuals intentionally release stress, tension, and anxiety from their mind, body, and spirit.

~Free Time

Spent however you wish! It’s important for us to create an experience that’s perfect for YOU. You may wish to spend your free time reflecting or relaxing… journaling or swimming… at a spa or in town shopping… exploring adventurous sights… feeding monkeys in the forest… you decide. We’ve made sure to offer you a free day to do whatever you feel and can also assist in making personal excursion arrangements for you.

~Surprise Gifts & Extras!

Feminine Power Retreat

May 23-28 2024

Are you feeling lost, disempowered, or struggling to find your own path? Do you battle imposter syndrome, torn between societal expectations and your true self, and harbor self-limiting beliefs of not feeling good enough or deserving?

It’s time for a transformative shift.

Welcome to our Bali Retreat – a sanctuary for women like you who seek clarity, empowerment, and a deeper connection with their authentic selves.

Go from disempowered to empowered. Shed the Imposter and rise in your Confidence as the true version of you emerges!

In society, women are often presented with two limited archetypes: hypermasculinity or passive femininity. We believe in a third way, a harmonious blend of empathy, collaboration, and collective power that allows you to craft a life that’s uniquely yours.

Plan your Rising! 23-28 May 2024

Join us in Bali for an immersive experience where you’ll not only explore the breathtaking landscapes but also embark on a journey towards self-discovery and empowerment.

It’s time to script the next chapter of your life, with confidence, authenticity, and a newfound sense of purpose.

Learn how to…

BE powerful yet still feminine

BE assertive but remain compassionate

LEAD from your heart without the need to compete with others
achieve success without exhaustion and ‘hustling mode’

BALANCE feminine and masculine energies within you

Create a new story with feminine power. 

It’s your story, so create your own plot twist! 

Plan your Rising!

We’ll guide you on how to use your authentic feminine power to navigate the world, leading to greater happiness, peace, and contentment. Say goodbye to feeling disempowered or overwhelmed.

You need to embrace your power, and do it unapologetically.

Seize this opportunity to embark on a life-altering journey, surrounded by the lush beauty of Bali. Embrace your unique feminine power and unlock a world of limitless potential. This retreat is your catalyst for transformation, your sanctuary of empowerment, and your gateway to a life filled with fulfillment and contentment.

We will hike to the waterfalls in the jungle, and receive a water blessing in an ancient temple. More than that we will meditate in the rice fields, and do our deepest work.

This retreat is for women:

  • of all stages of their lives, that are ready to take their power back, and do it unapologetically
  • who are curious about exploring the depths of their inner selves, seeking to tap into their inner wisdom, and nurturing their personal growth.
  • who are looking for a clearer sense of purpose, direction, and a renewed perspective on life’s journey.
  • who might be feeling drained, overwhelmed, or disconnected and are seeking a retreat that offers rejuvenation and renewal.
  • who are ready to connect and lead from their feminine power!

The soul comes alive in Bali with ancient traditions and sacred grounds – we will shed that old skin, and the beliefs that no longer serve us and RISE anew.

Join an extraordinary retreat to Bali, where luxury merges with self-discovery, and you become the author of your life’s best chapter yet.


We will help you shift and transform these beliefs so that you can step into your own unique power and recognise your unique strengths. 

You will learn how to re-imagine your work and life through a lens of feminine power. 

Dr Petra and I are experts in helping people transform. This retreat is going to be a transformative experience where you will be given tools and strategies to use feminine and collective power. And you will be in safe hands with experienced and qualified facilitators. 

We’ll hold space to explore the stories that have influenced your use of power to date, and we’ll shift some of those narratives as well and move together through transformation supported by other women. 

And of course, we’re going to have fun! You’ll be free to enjoy a beautiful place and an exceptional environment. You’ll make lifelong friends. And you’ll walk away with strategies to better lead yourself and others and become awakened to more powerful roles and opportunities in your life. 

This will be the beginning

The all-inclusive package includes three group sessions with me after you return home from Bali to keep your transformative process alive when you are back in a familiar environment. We know how to make change stick, and will support you on your journey once you are home.

You’ll always cherish the investment you make in yourself!
