OUR FACULTY

“My original interest in the healing arts began with a fascination with the human energy system. This led me to Polarity therapy and massage, then into internal martial arts, Chinese Medicine, Functional Medicine and Manual Therapies.”

Adolf brings together over 25 years of clinical experience and spiritual studies in Eastern, Western and Shamanic traditions to synthesize a unique and effective system of healing.

Adolf’s teaching career includes 3 years as a faculty member at Arizona School of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine. He currently teaches Anatomy and Physiology for Yoga Teacher Training organizations and ongoing workshops and classes in Applied Kinesiology, Craniosacral Therapy, Meditation and Qi Gong. He has been teaching and practicing at the Yoga Barn, in Ubud, Bali for over 10 years.

Adolf is a highly skilled and caring physician with a unique ability to diagnose chronic health issues and resolve them by restoring the body’s innate ability to heal. Adolf synthesizes scientific knowledge with intuitive insight and understanding of the energy body into a unique and powerful healing system.

“What makes my practice unique is my integrated systems approach, my in-depth, individualized diagnosis and treatment in every session, and my ability to balance the structural, bio-chemical and bio-energetic systems of the body.”

He is now living and practicing in Bali, Indonesia. In addition to his structural therapy and nutritional consulting practice, he offers nutritional consulting and energy healing online.

Applied Kinesiology is a diagnostic system based on muscle testing that can provide information about musculoskeletal pain, digestive problems, immune deficiencies, infections, nutritional status, food allergies, the acupuncture meridian system and much more. By accessing the body’s intuition, AK can find the root cause of chronic health conditions.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, but powerful hands-on healing system based on the subtle movement of the cranial bones and sacrum. Physical or emotional trauma, stress and energetic blockages can cause restriction in the system, resulting in pain or loss of range of motion, as well as global systemic effects.  Excellent for chronic injuries, emotional holding patterns, and spiritual integration, Craniosacral Therapy allows you to go into a deep, body-centered meditation where profound healing can occur.

Agustian Supriatna is a multitalented artist and musician. Born in the deep jungle of Lampung in 1981, he came from a traditional healer lineage connected to the nature and wildlife of Sumatra island. Being chosen as a healer from a young age, he dedicated himself to be in the service of his village’s people. Everything he learned was passed on to him from his grandfather, the legendary elderly healer Datuk Raja Jaksa.

In his late teens, he made a big decision – he wanted to be a painter. So, he paused his journey to become a healer to focus on finding himself and fulfilling his dream of becoming an artist. He started the path of teaching himself by exploring a wide variety of artistic expressions such as drawing, painting, sculpture, and music. Along the way, he found his voice and became successful in international art scenes for his musical talents.

Over a 20-years journey of self-development, Agustian claimed back his legacy as a healer and began using sound to heal others. Through music, he found the soulful media to invite people onto their own personal healing journey.

Agustian has found that music is the best media to channel his heritage as a healer as well as sharing his art and heart, to everyone open and willing to dive into themselves.

Sound Healing is a form of meditation, using sound and vibration as the transportation into a deep musical journey. This experience is specially made and composed for healing purposes rooted in ancient techniques. Various musical instruments, representing different elements and creating peaceful vibes, are used and combined with Sanskrit mantras, Sufi chanting, ancient Javanese and Sundanese lullabies. In this private session, Agustian will connect with you and lead you deeper to reactivate your self healing energy.

Alistair Booth graduated from The London College of Traditional Acupuncture
(LCTA) in 2010 with a degree in Acupuncture and has a licence to practice. He started Crescent Moon Acupuncture with the aim of offering high quality acupuncture. With over 10 years experience as an acupuncturist, he uses a combination of TCM (traditional Chinese Medicine) and 5 Element Acupuncture, with the addition of Moxibustion in many treatments. Additionally he has completed a course in Facial Revitalisation Acupuncture (FRA), which is a very effective treatment to reduce fine lines and wrinkles.

He has been intuitive healer and professional psychic for over 30 years. His first intuitive experience was at the age of 13; and he has a deep interest in spirituality, past lives and mystical occurrences, and a wealth of knowledge,experience and wisdom in this field, even appearing as a psychic on the channel 4 television programme “The Big Breakfast” in the U.K. Using his healing and intuitive abilities has helped him to design and run combined meditation and healing events, these events allow the body the opportunity to relax and receive healing in a calming and inspiring environment.

According to the ancient Chinese, vital energy Qi; pronounced chee, travels through your body along energy channels or pathways called meridians. When you are in good health the flow of Qi is smooth and uninterrupted, but when illness strikes this flow is disturbed.
The practitioner will ask the patient a series of questions to establish patterns of health. The tongue will be examined and the pulse will be taken. Traditional Chinese Medicine requires a full picture of the person in order for a diagnosis to be made, so each treatment is completely tailored to the individual, and the information gathered from the questions, tongue, and pulse will then be used to develop a treatment plan.

Acupuncture is carried out by the insertion of sterile needles into points all over the body; in fact there over 360 points which the acupuncturist can use to tap into the meridians which flow around the body. By doing this, the acupuncturist encourages the Qi to flow more smoothly and the body’s healing mechanism returns the body to a more balanced state of health and well- being.

In addition to needling, a technique called Moxibustion may also be used.Moxibustion therapy involves burning dried Mugwort on particular points on the body. It plays an important role in traditional Chinese medicine, and is used to apply heat to the acupuncture points on the body. This is usually done by placing moxa on the needles once they have been inserted or by burning cigar- shaped moxa sticks over the skin.

When life is out of sync, it needs something to restore that balance.

The goal of energy healing is to balance the energy flow in and around the individual.  The emotional, mental, and physical features of the body are intertwined within this subtle energy.

Amit takes the time to understand our body, emotions, behaviors and beliefs.His purpose is to  create coherence amongst the energy flow that  corresponds well with the emotional, mental, and physical aspects of body.

Restoring balance becomes a healing experience of self understanding, clarity and reassurance in one’s abilities.

Amit has a zest for living life with joy, love, and wonder. Born into a family where bhakti yoga is a daily ritual, yoga has always been a strong influence in his life. After sustaining injuries from a collision with a motorcycle, he resorted to yogic practice as a natural path to recovery and a means to strengthen his mind, focus and awareness. The therapeutic benefits and healing power of yoga inspired him to leave his corporate career in NYC and pursue advanced training in Ashtanga, Hatha, Iyengar and Pranayama in Rishikesh, India. His passion is to share his knowledge and help others discover clarity, warmth and power within themselves.

His classes are kind, fun and transformational as he creates an environment for self-healing to happen. Amit has studied various modalities of yoga and focuses his personal practice on kriya yoga and meditation, as taught by Swami Satyananda Saraswati. He is a Yoga Alliance RYT-500 certified instructor and a Reiki Grand Master.

Teaching at the Yoga Barn since 2018, Amit has a wonderful ability to pass down Yogic wisdom to his students in ways that are tangible to modern times.

Anika was initially drawn to yoga as a sanctuary from her demanding corporate career in Australia. The practice of yoga has truly transformed not only her appreciation of movements, but also her entire way of living and loving life. In 2016, she then decided to leave her career in Finance to then become a yoga teacher in Melbourne.

Anika is trained in various healing modalities such as Theta Healing, Aquatic Bodywork (Healing Dance), Breathwork and Body-Mind Centering practice.

Her classes are a blend of yoga, dance, creative movement and breath practices to nourish the body, mind and heart. A mix of strong alignment-focused practice with a dose of laughter and occasional silence. Her aspiration is to inspire the expansion of our innate ability to feel and experience each moment fully, as it is.

She is a gentle and loving space holder, dedicating her life to create and curate a safe space, especially for women to feel confident to speak their authentic voice and move their body.

“Healing and understanding happen when we fully see, listen and accept ourselves as we are today.”

Relax, reconnect and surrender. Floating in the warm pool surrounded by peaceful jungle nature, while being held, moved and stretched gently.

Apin Ng is a dedicated Indonesian Access Consciousness practitioner. She’s been practicing the Access Consciousness healing work since 2017 starting with Access Bars, Access Body Process, and Access Energetic Facelift.

Benefitting from these life-changing tools, she’s become very passionate about sharing the work with others who are open to receiving it.

Her journey of healing has brought her to learn one modality after another such as Reiki, Access Consciousness, Pranic Healing, and Marma Therapy. They all help in different ways and at different times. She believes that there’s no one size fits all. Energetically we all are constantly changing and we are interconnected to one another and our needs of healing are also changing. One modality might work well in the past but maybe won’t do as much in the future. She has found her calling which helps to make a better world through healing work. When we’re healthy we’re happy. There’s nothing more important than health.

Bethany Burton (US) is an aquatic bodyworker, dancer, and former professional artistic swimmer. She’s co-founder of Inner Ocean Collective—an international group of therapists with a somatic centered and multi-modality approach to water therapy.

Her one-on-one sessions borrow principles from Authentic Movement and utilize intuitive dance-like elements to guide receivers in exploring a full range of motion in the water. Every session is unique to each individual and facilitates a process of unwinding, releasing tension, and deeply restful relaxation.

Bethany is passionate about accompanying individuals on a journey to “rediscover water” as a way of rediscovering the self.

“Within each of us lies an ocean of emotions, memories, and experiences.”

Water Healing is a unique approach that delves deep into that ocean, helping you to uncover profound insights, soothe your nervous system, and reconnect to the natural impulses and rhythms within you.

This modality of aquatic therapy promotes authentic movement—allowing you to tap into the wisdom and innate intelligence of your body.

Movement becomes a gateway to self-expression and self-discovery. As your body floats weightlessly, guided by the nurturing touch of your therapist, you are encouraged to explore the subtle cues and sensations that arise within your physical form. As you surrender to this supportive environment, you may find yourself gently swaying, swirling, or flowing in harmony with the water, creating a dance-like movement that feels authentic and true to your essence.

This container holds space for exploration, introspection, and self-compassion—allowing emotions to surface, be acknowledged, and ultimately find liberation. By exploring these inner currents, we can release stagnant energy, foster emotional release, and embark on a restorative path to balance our inner / outer world.

Provides a unique opportunity to release:

• stagnant energy
• emotional blocks
• tension held within the body

Benefits:

• Reduces anxiety and stress
• A sense of holistic wellbeing
• Improves sleep quality
• Helps the body recover and regenerate

DC Leiro started studying Vedic texts as a young teenager in Norway. Driven by a deeper thirst for Indian philosophy and yoga, he moved to the United States in his early twenties to study Ayurveda with Dr. Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute. It was there he met Hart de Fouw who later became his Jyotish teacher for over a decade.

DC Leiro bridges his western upbringing and the doctrine of Indian philosophy, to offer a unique approach to deliver chart readings with his inspections.

Your birth chart is a snapshot of your life, it provides a storybook, from birth to death and gives insight into your life’s purpose.

Jyotish, often referred to as Vedic Astrology can be translated as the ‘Science of Light’. It is comprised of sophisticated mathematical methods and cosmic analysis to provide deep insights into karmic patterns and innate tendencies. Jyotish can be used to provide guidance in areas where you require further clarification, to help alleviate challenges in life and to thrive in your human potential. This allows you to take strategic, practical steps to alleviate challenges in life and enable you to thrive in your human potential, living in harmony and with fulfilment.

A Comprehensive Natal Reading focuses on

• Self-Understanding
• Health and Vitality
• Family History and Dynamics
• Career, Wealth and Security
• Relationship and Partnerships
• Spiritual Practice and Alignment

Please Note:

Providing an accurate birth time gives a more accurate chart.

In Jyotish astrology, certain sub-charts change every minute. It is therefore advised to confirm your precise time with a birth certificate or hospital records before making an appointment. If you don’t have access to this information, a chart rectification can be made to get closer to the accurate birth time, or a general reading can be made from the Moon sign chart.

Originally from Panama, Gaylord Morales moved to the United States as a young child. An avid athlete through his teens and twenties, Gaylord excelled in all sports, honing his team spirit through Baseball and Outrigger. Later on, from 2008 onwards, his life path led him towards India where his journey into yoga and the healing arts began.
Living in Bali on & off since 2013, Gaylord is a dedicated body worker and yoga practitioner.

Since his shift from fitness to healing, Gaylord has continued to study yoga and various forms of bodywork. Gaylord completed his 200hr & 500hr yoga trainings with renowned teacher, Vijay Gopala, founder of Yoga Gita, based in Mysore, India from 2013 to 2016. In addition, he experienced many private and group trainings at the Himalayan Iyengar yoga Center in Goa, India, and several other trainings around India, Thailand and Indonesia.

Adding on to his yoga practice, Gaylord is a gifted body worker with training in Deep Tissue massage, Balinese massage, Thai massage and was certified in Bio Dynamic Rebalancing Massage in 2015, under Antar Rizal, from OSHO Multiversity in Pune, India.

Holding a certificate in Bamboo construction, Gaylord is also known for his work leading the build-out team in festivals and venues, such as the internationally known BaliSpirit Festival which has taken place annually since 2009.
In addition, Gaylord is a lover of Bali and does all he can to contribute to the Island’s various environmental organizations, such as Bali Regreen (re-planting bamboo in the drought ridden villages of East Bali) and by mentoring young adults in the Bye-Bye Plastic Bag program.

Gaylord’s massage will bring you back into your body and his teachings will bring you back to the source of what he calls “Just Yoga.”

“Don’t hold back your love, your joy, and your exuberance. Only what you give becomes your quality, not what you hold back.”

Bio Dynamic Rebalancing Massage attends to the energetic and emotional meaning of one’s physical experience. It is a meditative and therapeutic form of healing that combines gentle, yet firm and precise strokes of the deep connective tissue, while using structural integration techniques such as assisted stretches, joint mobilization and myofascial release via muscle manipulation, into a deep and fully relaxing full body massage.

This holistic healing massage is good for anybody who wants to fully understand the tensions in their body and clear them, and also, for those looking to release old patterns and blockages from the body‘s psyche.

It’s best to do a series of 2 or 3 sessions for maximum benefit.

Lymphatic Drainage Massage is a gentle yet effective form of bodywork that stimulates movement throughout the lymphatic system aiding in the removal of toxins and waste from the blood, cleansing bodily tissues and thereby rejuvenating the immune system. Furthermore, this relaxing technique reduces sinus pressure and relieves congestions. It increases the production of collagen, prevents excess swelling, inflammation and pain promoting your overall mobility and wellbeing.

Growing up in Vienna, Hubert was studying architecture when injuries and life signals awakened his spiritual calling to find healing. He began to study complementary medicine, became a yoga teacher, nuad-practitioner, got the reiki master but still felt the desire to dive deeper. He went to South America to live with shamans for a year and started to travel more and more to places of old knowledge in order to learn what all these different teaching have in common.

Believing that once we let go, everything falls back into its natural place, our cells in the body, the flow in life, the people we meet and the happiness we experience, he thinks its good to get aware when we hold on and practice letting go.

His today’s work is inspired by tools he learnt and spiritual practices he uses. In single sessions he loves to work with the inversion therapy “Hangab”, were letting go can be experiences in the old medicine of hanging upside down.

He also works with forgiveness and singing, as both are wonderful tools of letting go. The old knowledge of forgiving is very powerful to clear our present and past. Studying Hawaiian Ho´oponopono and the Indian Pratikraman, Hubert presents both tools for a deeper understanding.

Singing is good to open ourselves, accept who we are and allow to be new in every moment.

In an Inversion Bodywork session a client is slowly, in stages, lifted upside-down. This gives the body time to adjust to the inversion process, preventing any uncomfortable pressure in the head, resulting in a feeling of floating, flying and well-being.

The benefits are many: letting go, deep relaxation, regenerating of the discs and joints, alignment, releasing of pain, trauma and emotions, activating the power of self-healing, a reset of the body and energy system.

Hanging upside down is an ancient yoga practice. In fact many civilisations around the world have used upside down hanging because of its powerful body-mind benefits. In an Inversion Bodywork session, the key is to go up as slow as possible, so from a lying position, at first only the legs are lifted, we give a brief introduction and help to tune in. Then we lift the pelvis off the ground and go further up in stages. The time it takes to ascend can range from 20 to 25 minutes, which is the ideal pace for the body to adjust to each stage of the inversion process. You receive hands on bodywork, a treatment which allows you to release, let go and enter a deep relaxation with the sensation of flying and well-being. The spinal traction and the benefits of the inversion lead the body into a renewing process, while the mind clears out and drops into a deep meditative state, called the still-point (a pause in the cranial rhythm). With lifts, swings, and energy work, we support as we flow into various body positions.

In the first Session option we go up until shoulderstand (shoulders and head still on the ground). In the second option we go all the way into Flying-Savansana (of course you can always say stop and we descend). In both session scenarios, emotions and tensions can be released. You will land in a centered and peaceful place within. The only contra-indication is high eye pressure (people who have it know it) and for women during menstruation. Please bring warm socks (if you have), comfortable clothes and an intention (maybe something you wish to let go of).

Ho’oponopono is a practice rooted in Hawaiian tradition that focuses on healing, forgiveness, and reconciliation. In its essence, Ho´opononpono means to correct things, whether it is the relationship to others or to oneself. In India, you can find a similar practice of forgiveness called “Pratikraman”.

Any hurts from the past or present can be cleaned with the appropriate viewpoint and the use of a few simple words.

This technique can release blocked emotions, solve conflicts and heal relations. It can even help us let go of our judgments and become more at peace with ourselves and the world around us.

In a coaching session, we will bring awareness to your individual story, assess the present situation and engage in what many consider the most impactful self-improvement work available.
