What is a Raga? 

Short Definition : 

Raga's are based from nature, seasons and times of day/ night. Ragas require the musician to become a medium to invoke the mood and feeling above all else while learning new scales and delicate, intricate phrasing.

In learning Raga music the student naturally has to harmonise both brain and heart to perform and present the chosen Raga in order to conjure the Bhava (devotional feeling) or Rasa (essence) correctly thus making this a discipline and therapeutic practice of great inner and outer alignment.

​

​

​Location ​​

Hidden in the Heart of Ubud in a natural environment that invokes peace and tranquility and yet is only a short walk to Ubud City Palace.

  @ Ubud Sari Health Resort

​

​"Our accommodation is designed with the concept of simplicity, aims to be integrated with nature and deeply inspired by the power of TRI HITA KARANA which are 3 philosophies which contain the understanding of three causes of happiness that originate from 3 harmonious lives that are interconnected.

Is a spiritual concept and as a local wisdom for the Balinese Hindu community which aims to shape the harmony of human life. Human Relations with God, Human Relations with the Environment/Nature, Relationships with Others"

​

 Do you have a passion for yoga or musical expression?

Connecting head to heart through voice and the power of sound ! 

Modern day science is now proving the ancient wisdom of Nada Yoga and the power of sound. The fact that music can bring us to heightened states of awareness, intuition, release pent up or repressed emotions and bring us closer to head & heart coherence and the powerful flow state when we come into that alignment.
So whether it's for performance or self expression or simply exploring greater harmony within oneself this experience could be for you :)

​

​​​​

Explore and begin to unravel the mysteries of Indian Raag—scales, rhythms, and melodies—while unlocking creative blockages, deepening self-expression, and connecting to the transformative power of sound.

 

Set your intentions for 2025 with clarity and focus in a nurturing environment.

Located in the heart of Ubud but surrounded by an oasis of nature.

​

• Immersive Raga & voice activation

• Yoga, mantra, and meditation practices

• Daily Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing

• Pyramids of Chi Session

• Japanese style Spa Centre, Massage and Sauna / Steam room.

• Optional Detox Health Packages available

• Nourishing Vegan / Vegetarian plant-based meals

• A supportive and like-minded conscious community to enhance and inspire each other

• & More if you keep reading ;)

​

So step into the enchanting world of music, yoga, and the intrinsic call back to nature, and leave feeling inspired, rejuvenated, and empowered.​

TESTIOMONIALS  

​

I just wanted to say some words of gratitude, post integration of our RAGA journey.  I feel like I am still bathing in all of your frequencies. Expanded & open to the flow of life and a whole lot of love. For me, it was the perfect spot and perfect timing to be reminded of how much light there actually is in this life, and how powerfully our vibration creates our reality. Effortlessly manifesting love & joy.. just by surrendering and expanding to true self, to truth. Thankyou to Shivam Rath  for allowing us to bathe in your divine light - and initiating us into the use of the sacred sounds ourselves. It was beautiful to see how the use of our voice allowed each and everyone of us to open up to our unique vibration.. expand.. together creating a rhythmic resonance of truth & authenticity. All your tones will forever remain with me, thank you for resonating and co-creating our rainbow! With all of my gratitude for you all (the facilitators & everyone who held the space for everyone) Keep shining your unique colour & tone.. let our rainbow songs carry us through this adventure of life by

​

Shivam is a brilliant musician and teacher. Having completed his recent 5 week Raga course I can say he imparts  his  expert technical knowledge clearly and patiently and in an a way that holds our attention. 

As a musician and Slide Guitar player he presents his music  in a way that lifts and entrances his audience displaying not only technical brilliance but also displaying diversity and thoughtful intermingling of various styles through a fusion of Indian Classical with Electronic genres on  an underlying spiritual/yogic base. Brilliant!

​

​

WHY ASHRAM STYLE LIVING? 

​

"Its not about how long you practice but the quality of your practice"....

Thus we want to cultivate greater concentration and awareness to accelerate practice and learning.

​

The collective and self disciplinary routine of Ashram style living is made to create a simple but strong structure that is conducive to study and accelerated growth cultivating stronger levels of awareness throughout the day. The adjustments to daily routines enhanced by early morning Yoga, meditation and / or music, mantra practice shifts rapidly mental patterns and thus automatically giving rise to new experiences.

​

Yoga and meditation naturally allows a clear mind and healthy more supple body from early morning giving easier access to assimilation of new knowledge, musical ideas, memorising skills and sitting comfortably for longer periods.

* This is by no means a boot camp but.....

​

If you are looking for a luxurious retreat with great comfort and ease this retreat is not for you. The personal growth here comes with the challenge of diving beyond our comfort and by no means is learning Yoga, meditation & Indian Classical music ever meant to just be easy;  no matter what instrument you choose or what vocal techniques you already know.

​

However there is also no overall goal or outcome in Yoga or learning Indian Classical Music and the real results are in how much you explore, develop, expand and realise about yourself and your own musical expression; given the extra skills and pointers we have to share :)
