Instructors
Eli Coach
Eli, born and raised in Bali, has been in love with yoga for over a decade. Her journey began with the practice of Hatha yoga, after which she was introduced to Vinyasa Flow and immediately connected with this style where asanas are connected through the breath for a transformative and balancing effect. She trained extensively with both Balinese and Indian Gurus in the practices of yoga, meditation, and energy (“Qi”) movement. Eli loves exploring what she calls “inner yoga”, the practice of which triggers awareness and experience of the connection between the mind and the body.
Teddi Teddi
Teddi is their star yoga teacher. His journey began with winning a national yoga festival in Indonesia, representing Bali, and he has continued teaching ever since.
