celebrating 5 years of mana earthly paradise through 5 days of regeneration
This September, Mana Earthly Paradise marks its 5th anniversary, a significant milestone in our ongoing journey toward practicing and promoting regenerative tourism. For the past five years, we’ve been dedicated to fostering a deep connection between travelers and the environment, while striving to minimize our impact and contribute positively to the planet.
Our commitment to sustainability is a work in progress. We’re proud of the steps we’ve taken so far, but we also acknowledge that we’re still on the path to becoming a fully sustainable eco-villas resort. Every day, we learn and adapt, working to ensure that our practices align with the principles of regenerative tourism.
To celebrate our 5th anniversary, we invite you to join us from 27 - 31 August 2024 for 5 Days of Regeneration. This special event is not just about reflecting on our journey but also about embarking on a regenerative journey within ourselves. We believe that humans play a crucial role in creating a sustainable world, and this event will focus on nurturing the mind, body, and spirit, with activities designed to reconnect you with nature and your inner self.
As we continue to evolve, we remain humble and committed to making Mana a leading model of eco-conscious living in Ubud, Bali. We invite you to be part of this ongoing journey and to celebrate with us as we strive to make a positive impact on both the environment and our community.
Join us for this unique celebration and help us take the next steps toward a more sustainable future—together.

Day 1 - 27 August 2024
09:00 AM - 10:15 AM Hatha Yoga with Ezca
morning hatha yoga
Hatha yoga is a gentle and basic form of yoga that focuses on physical postures (asanas) and breathing exercises (pranayama). It's great for beginners because it moves at a slow pace, helping you build strength, flexibility, and balance while calming your mind. Hatha yoga is all about bringing balance to your body and mind, making it a perfect introduction to yoga.
ABOUT THE FACILITATOR
Ezca’s yoga journey began in 2014, but in 2016, she faced a severe health crisis. Intense stress caused sudden weight loss, paralysis in her lower body, Bell's palsy, and digestive issues, leaving her bedridden for six months. During this time, she focused on healing through meditation, breathwork, and energy practices. She also learned Classic Balinese yoga healing, Reiki, Body Reading, Emotional & Body Intelligence, Color Therapy, Hijama, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Ayurveda. This experience deepened her understanding of the connection between the physical body, mind, and emotions, which she now shares to spread awareness of this vital connection.
