Duncan Wong's Yogic Arts
Our annual festival takes place in Ubud, the cultural heart of Bali!

In March 2008, Bali embraced us for 4 nights and 4 days of creative exploration and uplifting celebration, with daily yoga, dance, music and song workshops, and evening concerts, kirtans, dance performances, and conscious dance gatherings. 

Our plan for 2009 is still in the making, our line-up and schedule of the festival will be announced by January 25th, 2009. We will be offering 5-day passes for EXHALE, pre-sold here online. Workshop registration will happen on-site in 2009, with priority given to pre-sale ticket holders.
