Jo Sharp introduced us to the world of Pilates through her first Sharp Moves Pilates Plus Retreat.
Early morning Pilates sessions outdoors, overlooking the mountains, was pretty special. But it wasn’t all Pilates, Jo and her group climbed the volcano, toured Bali by Bike, trekked their way through the jungle and of course had some relaxing spa treatments and massages. Jo is pretty adventurous so she even found a way to introduce coconuts into a Pilates session and just when we thought it was safe to relax, there was Pilates in the pool.
But Jo and her group also had another reason for being in Bali. Last time Jo was in Bali she realised that kids cannot go to school without school shoes. So Jo went into action. Before the group left home they gathered up donations of school shoes. On our last day we took the shoes and some books and pencils across to the school. It caused a little bit of noise as you can imagine. 150 kids were very excited, I’m sure the teachers had their hands full for the rest of the day! The teachers will pass the shoes on to those most in need. Jo will be back in July and August for her Sharp Moves Fitness Retreats and promises more shoes. Thanks Jo!

Wayan’s latest work is the new bungalow that he has relocated amongst the rice paddies. It’s an antique knock-down Maduranese Joglo. Beautiful old timber, original tiled roof, a very simple sleeping room. The bathroom has a garden. And yes, it comes complete with the nightly chorus of frogs living in the adjacent rice paddies.
No name yet, but I have a feeling that Wayan is thinking about something to do with the gentle sound of running water.

Wayan tells me that “every day is new life”
suggesting that every new day that we wake up alive and well, we get another chance, another go, at a new day. It keeps me going.
Many of our guests ask if I get tired of doing the volcano climb. Never. Every climb is a challenge and a celebration for everyone. There’s been some early morning grumps at 3am, some pounding hearts and promises to work on cardio fitness, bruised backsides and even a few

KETUT SUNAMA– DRIVER, ARTIST, TOUR OPERATOR AND A FRIEND OF SHARING BALI
Many of you have been picked up at the airport by Ketut Sunama, one of our drivers. Some of you have even been given a helping hand up the steep parts of the volcano by Ketut. He is a man of many talents, including artist.
Last week, I stayed with Ketut and his family at their house in Jimbaran after a very late flight from Singapore. So I had plenty of time to check out his art collection in the morning before heading home.
You can take a look at his collection here….

|
In his spare time, Ketut also runs private tours around Bali. If you would like to travel around Bali and see more than just the Kuta area, but don’t know where to start, Ketut can organise an itinerary for you complete with hotels, activities such as diving, snorkelling, temple and palace visits. Ketut knows Bali very well and will take you to all the right places. A great way to see Bali with your family or a small group. Beats spending hours researching hotels and places to see when you are short on time. Contact Ketut here:

Gabi took a break and headed back to her family in Germany recently. After a few weeks in the snow, Gabi is now back in the tropics taking us through our Yoga sessions on our Yoga Plus 5! retreats.
Wayan is rebuilding one of our big antique Joglos. Originally a large meeting house, it will be a perfect place for our yoga and meditation sessions, especially for larger groups. Wayan has added a garden bathroom and a pond of course. With a view to the orange trees and rice paddies it promises to be serene. Stay tuned, it will be finished soon.
