Rest  ·  Reconnect  ·  Renew

Welcome to Pause

Pause is an invitation to slow down, reconnect with yourself through movement, nature, creativity and community.

In the heart of Sidemen, we’ll step away from the noise and return to what truly matters.

Dora Kozma, yoga teacher and retreat host

Dora Kozma

Dora is a yoga teacher and the founder of Pause Retreat. After completing her 800 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Byron Yoga Centre in Australia, Dora now creates experiences that help people slow down, reconnect, and return to themselves.

Her yoga journey began at 17 and has taken her around the world, exploring different styles and traditions. Along the way, she discovered that yoga is more than movement, it’s a practice of presence, balance, and self-awareness.

Through mindful movement, breathwork, nature, creativity, and community, Dora creates welcoming spaces where people can reconnect with themselves.

A day at Pause

A gentle rhythm designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and find balance through mindful movement, nourishing food, and moments of rest.

Space to connect

A small group retreat designed for deeper connection, personal attention and a space to truly be.

By keeping the group intentionally small, there is time for meaningful conversations, individual guidance and supportive community.

Aura Cempaka

Surrounded by emerald rice terraces and views of Mount Agung. Our newly opened retreat sanctuary offers the perfect place to slow down and reconnect.

Wake up to sunrise, practice in an open-air shala, and spend your days immersed in nature, creativity, and connection.

Thoughtfully designed rooms, scenic pool, and breathtaking scenery create the perfect setting to slow down, reconnect.
