Our Classes
Class Descriptions
With a variety of classes ranging from Vinyasa to Yin to Yoga Nidra and more, taught by an internationally-trained, highly experienced and extremely diverse team of instructors, trainers and leaders in their field, we are in full gratitude to offer you the widest depth and breath of yogic techniques offered on our Isle of the Gods, a magical place called Bali. A magical place we call Home.
Our signature Vinyasa class, this dynamic, energetically and physically demanding class will incorporate all the aspects of a Vinyasa-based class set to a fun music playlist. By connecting breath to movement in this class, you’ll deepen your ujjayi breath, learn creative sequencing, practice getting into “peak” poses and feel simply amazing after a long savasana. Be ready to flow, sweat and breath!
Gentle Flow is a Vinyasa-based class that moves through gentler poses in a much slower pace, incorporating gentle stretching and strengthening movements which are performed in a sequence for maximum health benefits. This class lies somewhere along the spectrum between flow and longer-held poses (such as restorative/yin yoga). It offers nurturing, kindness, and compassion for the body, regardless of whether a student is injured or healthy, young or old, pregnant or not. Awareness of the breath helps to calm the mind and enables you to move deeper into the stretches. It’s accessible to all levels from beginners to advance and great for forming a morning practice.
Ashtanga Half Primary Series
A strong, disciplined practice designed to build stamina, flexibility, and mental focus. This class follows the first half of the traditional Ashtanga Primary Series, emphasizing precision, breath control, and physical endurance.
You’ll move through standing postures, seated poses, and foundational transitions like jump-backs and jump-throughs, all with precise alignment and steady breath (ujjayi).
Ideal for those looking to challenge their body and refine their technique through a set sequence.
This dynamic Pilates class focuses on core strength, alignment, and controlled movement. Expect a full-body workout that targets posture, balance, and stability through low-impact, high-precision exercises. Set in our stunning oceanfront shala, the natural light and sea breeze create the perfect environment to focus, breathe, and elevate your practice. Open to all levels—modifications and progressions are always offered
Yin Yoga is a slow-paced style of yoga as exercise, incorporating principles of traditional Chinese medicine with poses that are held for longer periods of time than in other styles, typically staying for 3-5 minutes in each pose. The sequences of postures are meant to stimulate the channels of the subtle body known as meridians in Chinese medicine. Yin Yoga poses apply moderate stress to the connective tissues of the body—the tendons, fascia and ligaments—with the aim of increasing circulation in the joints and improving flexibility.
This unique class combination of Yin Yoga & Breathwork works specifically in activating the parasympathetic nervous system. We will begin with a 30-minute soft yoga practice to gently open the physical body in preparation for a profound breathwork session. The 3-Part Active Breathwork portion of this class will guide you into the deeper layers of your mind, heart, and spirit to release stuck emotions, old patterns, and stagnant energy. Class will end with a long soul-soothing savasana leaving you feeling lighter, balanced and more deeply connected all around.
A liquid like movement of gentle slow flow lulling you into a yin practice and landing into meditation.
