About us

One room, one idea

Ayu Wulandari started Yogiva in 2018 with twelve mats, a borrowed sound system and a belief that a good class is a small one.

The view from the studio

Our story

It started with twelve mats

After years of teaching in resorts and crowded rooms of forty, Ayu wanted a place where a teacher could see every student. She found a teak pavilion on a quiet lane in Canggu and started teaching there every morning.

Clara joined in 2021 and built the reformer room, Made and Komang brought their own students, and Tessa arrived from Melbourne soon after. The classes are still small, on purpose, and still mostly full of people who came for a week and stayed a year.

Reformers, and never a shared one

What we stand for

Four promises to everyone on the mat

Small classes

We cap every class, and we never squeeze in one more mat.

Every body

Any age, shape or level. Options come first and nobody is corrected in front of the room for sport.

Prices up front

Everything is on the site, and the same for visitors and regulars.

Rooted here

We respect the island we practice on: its ceremonies, its days of silence and the neighbors down the lane.

Teachers

The people at the front of the room

Five teachers from Bali and beyond, with decades of practice between them and very little ego.

Students say

After class, in their own words

★★★★★

I had never done yoga and Komang made me feel like I belonged there by the end of the first class. Three months on, my back has stopped hurting at my desk.

Six reformers means Clara actually watches your form. She changed one thing about how I set my pelvis and the knee pain I had carried for a year went quiet.

★★★★★

Made’s 7 am flow is the reason I get up. Rain on the roof, jungle out the window, and I am drenched by the second round of warrior poses.
