Spirituality has been always a big question mark in my forehead ever since I was a kid, as I grew up in the family and community who practiced sufi mysticism as its pillars of living. I naturally drawn to yoga philosophy as a practice to stretch my mind and understanding my self, and yoga asana as the one to mindfully understand my body. I began teaching vinyasa yoga in 2014 after learning under the guidance of Dini Yoga Jakarta (now The Zen Cove USA). I was lucky then to have experienced working with many busy yoga centers in Jakarta, Bali, Lombok, as well as Chiang Mai until now.

Passionate to always learn, I am grateful to have been studying and practicing under not only many well respected yoga teachers, but also from other school of healing and spirituality. One of them is Thai massage. After learning from many different teachers through various courses and workshops, I took therapist certification training in 2019 with Fine Art of Thai Massage in Chiang Mai. Now I have been regularly facilitating Thai Yoga Massage workshop in Bali and around, a combination of both of the practice I deeply respect and passionate about, and has been a pivotal aspect in my life and my art.

Open for everyone. In this workshop we will learn and bring home a simple Thai massage sequence that is safe to practice on anyone and also covers a lot of foundational techniques and basics. We will begin with a simple understanding of energy lines (sen) in the body, a similar concept to the prana nadi in yoga. Then we will practice hands-on, partnering and taking turns giving and receiving the massage. Thai massage does not use oil, and it can be done fully clothed/covered. It is an ancient practice rooted in Hatha yoga and Ayurveda. Jivaka was mentioned in many scriptures as the personal physician of Siddharta Gautama, the Buddha, and traveled across Asia after Buddha passed before he resided in Thailand. And that's why it's also known as Thai yoga massage, or lazy yoga. The giver, especially, is performing sets of yoga asanas when giving the massage, working on the similar stretching points of the receiver as in performing yoga poses. No experience needed. Only an openness to understand our body better and using it to heal itself in a holistic approach. This workshop is designed for everyone who loves massage, especially if you love giving it and want to help more people with your hands. The beautiful shala of @ubuntu_bali on the outskirts of Canggu will be our practice ground. Sunday, 8th March 2026.

But the fact that I'm thinking about this when I'm making my art, does that make me not present and not yoga?! I guess it's time for coffee break...

Some temple studies in the last 3 months I was traveling around. When I came to a temple, I acted as a visitor, not a worshipper nor a member of any religion. I mainly love the serene ambience it provides, especially if I am the only one there. The first thing I do upon arriving is walk around, enjoying the aesthetics of the complex. Then, upon entering the altars/shrines, if I like the feelings, I usually proceed to sit and enjoy it for a while, sometimes with my eyes closed. It always amazes me that people, for centuries, went there to project their best wishes and beautiful prayers, and I like to think that I can tap into those carbon of energy that is surrounding the walls. Though many of the temples are built with such grandeur of a royal pride and full of showcased golden trophies, which always reminded me of Rabindranath Tagore's poem "There is No God in That Temple".
