Massage & Bodywork
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.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on healing system that focuses on the subtle movement of the cranial bones and sacrum in response to the pumping of cerebrospinal fluid, known as “liquid light.” This therapy is based on the belief that cerebrospinal fluid is the first recipient of Divine Intelligence in the body, generating an electromagnetic matrix that organizes the body structure. CST facilitates the flow of this potentization to every cell, activating the parasympathetic nervous system and allowing clients to enter a deep, body-centered meditation for profound healing.
Through gentle touch, CST unwinds deep facial structures and releases fascia patterns, a whole-body integrated tissue that holds the memory of trauma, conditioning, and stress. By releasing these patterns, CST restores movement, relieves pain, clears emotions, rebalances the nervous system, and reintegrates spiritual energies. CST can be effective in alleviating chronic musculoskeletal pain, whiplash, heart injuries, birth trauma, emotional holding patterns, immune system dysfunction, stress-related symptoms, adrenal depletion/imbalance, chronic fatigue, and chemical sensitivity.
During a CST session, people experience deep relaxation, the release of pain patterns, postural realignment, greater ease of movement, and profound emotional and spiritual healing. This therapy is non-invasive and focuses on relieving tension in the central nervous system to promote self-care and overall well-being. CST targets key areas such as the hips, psoas muscles, lower back, shoulders, diaphragm, heart region, jaw, and neck, using a light touch to identify and alleviate areas of restriction or tension. Verbal therapy is also used to address underlying emotional, psychological, and spiritual issues, making CST a holistic therapy that supports the body’s innate healing capabilities.
Adolf began his studies of internal martial arts after a Tai Chi workshop with Al Wong in 1979. He explored several internal martial arts systems, but was never really captured until he discovered Ba Gua Zhang in 2000. Under the tutelage of internal martial genius, Vince Black, D.O.M. at the North American Tang Shou Tao school in Tucson, AZ, Adolf studied Ba Gua Zhang and other internal styles including Qi Gong.
He has been teaching Qi Gong at the Yoga Barn in Ubud, Bali for over 10 years. After struggling for many years with a severe arthritic condition that limited his ability to do martial arts, Adolf focused on Qi Gong for self-healing. “My physical limitations forced me into a deeper understanding of moving with qi and using qi for self-healing.” Adolf’s teaching style is relaxed and fun, while simultaneously being focused and precise.
He combines his knowledge of anatomy, bodywork, joint manipulation, craniosacral therapy and acupuncture to give his teaching a unique level of depth.
I have been deeply immersed in the world of yoga since 2007, at the behest of my acting teacher, who believed it to be the most effective way for me to connect with my emotions and truly process them. My initial yoga teacher training was in the Anusara Yoga style, and I am now a certified teacher in this discipline. Over the years, I have honed my skills through training with renowned teachers, including the creators of Embodied Flow Yoga. I have also had the privilege of training with Patrick Creelman, and Ana Forrest. My yoga journey has taken me across the globe, from opening yoga studios in St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia, to teaching at Pure Yoga in Hong Kong. I am originally from Toronto, Canada, and my initial experiences with yoga took root in Vancouver at a quaint studio called Yale town yoga Yoga, which later evolved into one of the largest yoga networks in the country.
Yoga, for me, transcends being just a practice; it is the language through which I understand my body, emotions, and spirituality. It has been an internal journey, a profound connection to the world within. My first encounter with Bali was in 2009 when I was living in Hong Kong. It was then that I first set foot in the enchanting Ubud, to work at the renowned Yoga Barn. I returned to Bali in 2015 for a teacher training, and serendipitously found myself back on this beautiful island in 2019, just as the pandemic began. I am currently living in Bali, which has truly captured my heart. It is here that I have been given the incredible opportunity to work at the Yoga Barn, a place that I genuinely believe to be the greatest yoga studio on our planet.
Bali has a unique allure that allows me to lead the life I’ve always dreamt of, where every day feels like a yoga festival. Here, I have the privilege to craft and share incredible classes, including Somatic Flow, Cranial Yoga, and my personal favorites – Vinyasa with my specially curated live music, and Anusara Yoga. The spirit of the culture and the vibrant creative community in Ubud make this place my home, where I can live and breathe the essence of yoga every day. While I have also lived in Sydney in the past, Bali is where my heart truly belongs, and it is the place I am currently proud to call home.

Punnu was born and raised in India into a family that has a true love for Kirtan and spirituality. His interest in spirituality and healing formed profoundly in his early years as he was influenced by his father and other Indian masters. He started studying Reiki 30 years ago which led him to learn various healing modalities. Punnu is a Reiki Grand Master, senior yoga & meditation teacher, Kirtan Master and spiritual healer/teacher offering holistic healing sessions on a daily basis as well as Reiki training.
Shiatsu is a traditional Chinese medicine that is all about freeing any blockages or imbalances to the Ki flow and rejuvenating the body by restoring energy to where it’s most needed. The practice involves applying pressure to or stretching any points that lie along the lines of energy – the “meridian channels”.
The ancient Japanese art of Reiki is a simple and very powerful energy balancing technique that realigns the flow of energy in the body to balance physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being, dissipating stress & anxiety and enhancing mental clarity and a feeling of deep relaxation, tranquillity and peace.
Relationships aren’t just a part of your life, life is relationships. Healing relationships with parents, current partner or ex-partner(s), child/children, inner child, ancestors is a transformational experience. Among all these relationships, the most important one is your relationship with your parents. It doesn’t matter whether they are alive or not, whether you are living with them or you are maintaining a distance from them, the relationship with your parents determines your relationship with everybody else. If someone has an unsettled relationship with the mother, they might go through needless obstacles or have health issues.
If someone has an unsettled relationship with the father, they might go through financial problems. If any one of these relationships is not alright, then the whole experience of life itself is not alright and life becomes divisive and perceptions begin to get distorted. Many people believe that the best way to deal with a relationship or heal a relationship is to cut that relationship off. But being physically separate doesn’t heal the relationship or its impact on you. Your parents don’t live outside of you, they live inside you and you live inside of them.
There is a powerful and effective way to heal any relationship and to allow for forgiveness to fully take place.
A deep tissue massage facilitates healing by releasing contracted areas of muscle and tissue. Using a combination of techniques inspired by Shiatsu, Pressure Point and Traditional Balinese massage, our Deep Tissue Massage focuses on the deeper layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia (the protective layer surrounding muscles, bones and joints).
The deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing chronic muscle tension, dissolving stress and helping to increase blood flow and oxygen to the soft tissues. Experience strokes, kneading and acupressure stimulation as the mind and body relax.
Your treatment can be designed to focus on the whole body or only in a problematic area.
Our quality Balinese therapists can make your session as relaxing or strenuous as your body needs.

PS can be used for physical, mental, emotional & spiritual healing, career, money, relationships, addictions etc.
Chakras are energy centres surrounding the body, which govern the transfer of energy to the cells. When the chakras are out of balance the cells will not maintain, rebuild, or rejuvenate themselves. Balancing the chakras allows proper energy flow to the cells, increasing energy and relaxing tension, and can reduce stiffness and pain significantly.
PH is an ancient science and art that harmonizes and transforms the body energy processes. PH simply enhances this healing process by utilizing the energy of life. It helps for physical, mental & emotional healing incl. those on a spiritual quest.

Whatever we went through in the womb of our mother incl. our parents’ emotional states during that time will have a huge impact on our life and how we perceive the world as adults. These experiences stored in our subconscious mind can lead to unconscious obstacles which have an effect on our health, finances, relationships etc. The 4BP is a unique opportunity to help us to become free of the unconscious obstacles.

Thai Massage is deeply inspired by the principles of yoga and meditation, incorporating elements of both practices into its technique. Like yoga, Thai Massage emphasizes the importance of breath awareness, using it as a tool to deepen relaxation and facilitate the flow of energy throughout the body. This focus on breath allows the recipient to connect more deeply with their body and mind, promoting a meditative state that enhances the healing process.
The stretching and joint movement in Thai Massage are reminiscent of yoga asanas (poses), promoting flexibility, mobility, and balance. The practitioner uses their hands, feet, and body weight to apply pressure to specific points along the body’s energy lines, known as “sen lines” in Thai medicine. This technique is similar to the concept of acupressure in traditional Chinese medicine, which aims to unblock energy channels and restore balance to the body.
Overall, Thai Massage is a holistic therapy that not only addresses physical ailments but also seeks to harmonize the body, mind, and spirit. Its roots in yoga and meditation make it a deeply therapeutic and rejuvenating experience, offering benefits that extend beyond the physical body to encompass mental and emotional well-being.

Originally from Bogor in East Java, Indonesia, Sheryl moved to Bali in 2013.
Shortly after that, she started practicing yoga in Ubud, and during this process rediscovered the meditation and mantras her Indian grandfather taught her when she was young.
Since then her practice has continued to evolve. She spent two years learning Iyengar yoga and later completed several trainings including the One Song TT with Denise Payne and Bex Tyler, FlyHighYoga TT, Acro Yoga TT, Thai Massage training, and SOHA TT with Carlos Romero and Daniella Garza.
As Sheryl’s experience grew she started assisting teachers in yoga training too and has been teaching both private and group yoga classes at The Yoga Barn and elsewhere in Bali since 2015.
Sheryl particularly loves acro yoga, vinyasa, and Thai massage. She loves to connect with people, and she continues to value the space that yoga creates to be present, sit still with herself, and dive deep into mind and breath.
“Thai massage is not a journey taken alone, but of two people sharing a holy dialogue through the sense of touch and inner listening”
Watsu is a deeply restorative therapy that offers a profound sense of relaxation and connection to the body. Floating in a warm pool surrounded by peaceful jungle nature, you will be gently held, moved, and stretched.
If you are feeling burnt out and disconnected from your body, Watsu provides a way to experience a deep state of rest and relaxation, a sense of ‘coming home’ to yourself.
Benefits of Watsu include reducing anxiety and stress, promoting holistic well-being, improving sleep quality, and aiding the body in recovery and regeneration. During a Watsu session, you will float effortlessly in a specially designed salt-water pool, experiencing a sense of weightlessness and safety as you are guided by a Watsu practitioner.
With your ears just below the surface, eyes softly closed, and your heart open to the heavens, you will be able to turn inward, connecting to the rhythm of your breath and the movement of your body in a hypnotic way. This allows for a deep sense of self-awareness and relaxation, where time seems to disappear.
Watsu can lead to a newfound acceptance of life and yourself, allowing emotions to surface and be released. Physically, it can result in a relaxation of the body, a sense of freedom in movement, and an alignment of the spine. Emotionally, it can soothe the heart and connect you deeply to your essence, evoking feelings of safety and peace.
Each Watsu experience is unique, tailored to the individual receiving it, and can provide a deeply transformative and healing experience.

“She is like a perfect mixture of witch, teacher and best friend. I couldn’t have imagined the impact and openings I experienced after meeting her .”
Over the past years I altered the direction of my life by stepping away from a corporate marketing career within the Beauty Industry and onto a new path of service through Healing, Coaching and discovering the depth of Human Consciousness. I am certified and experienced as Reiki Master, Holistic Coach and Yoga Teacher besides many other studies. At the Yogabarn I teach feminine mysteries classes weaving together ancient feminine practices and connection exercises. I teach Reiki Courses and offer Reiki Healings.
My depth of vision expanded after battling with depression and anxiety following a big loss. The wisdom I found through the darkness I now use in my work, paired with studies in modern neurobiology, holistic healing tools, modern coaching, psychology and blend them with powerful and ancient spiritual teachings such as Tantra, Ayurveda, and of course Reiki.
My curiosity around the human psyche, personal development and different cultures have led me to the magical Island of Bali and to The Yoga Barn. I absolutely and deeply fell in Love with Bali, the smiles, the nature and energy of this place. I am fascinated deeply by this work and the people I get to meet.
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.

Ever since he was a young child Wayan has been sensitive to energy. At first, unsure about how to manage his ability he started working with local friends to practice and understand his healing powers. Healing runs through his family lineage so he knew he had the ability to help others but it wasn’t until a Balinese High Priest saw his potential that Wayan began his own true journey.
Throwing himself into education, he met his guru whilst studying the Education of Hindu Religion in Lombok. Under his guidance Wayan learnt how to channel his energy into a healing capacity. Deepening his knowledge of metaphysical, ancestral, and natural energy, as well as energy channels known in Bali as Sapta loka (from earth up) and Sapta patala (from the ground down). He is experienced in scanning the physical body, reading the body’s energy and chakra balancing through the use of his intuition and his super sensitive touch.
After his studies took him to India to dive deeper into Ayurveda, yoga, energy work and philosophy, Wayan returned home to Bali where he graduated from a Masters in Philosophy and Science of Hindu Religion from Denpasar State Hindu Dharma Institute.

Wayan is a true healer who is driven from his heart to help and heal others.
This is an intuitive, traditional Balinese approach to chakra healing to identify and heal blockages in the Chakras. Wayan uses his sensitivity to read and diagnose this energetic system of the subtle body, identifying whether there is underactive, overactive, balanced or blocked energy.
Working through a three-step model, Wayan systemically opens communication with each chakra. At first, through the use of body scanning he can feel, scan and read the energy of the body to engage in dialogue and downloads from each chakra to understand what is needed. In this step ancestral, spiritual, and external energies are called in, if needed, to understand any issues that need to be healed. Then, his intuitive nature helps to discover the root of blockages. Lastly, he works with the birth name to allow trust and open communication to flow between healer and client. Wayan is able to connect deeply with the unique needs of everyone he works with.
After these three steps have been completed, Wayan will fully explain the reading, identifying which chakras are blocked and how to encourage more balance throughout the system. A 60-minute session will involve a full chakra reading and, dependent on your unique reading, bespoke healing through crystals, psychic mediumship, sound healing and reflexology. The aim of all sessions is to achieve chakra balance.

Sound Healing is a meditative practice that utilizes sound and vibration to facilitate a deep, transformative experience. This therapeutic approach is rooted in ancient techniques and is designed specifically for healing purposes. During a session, various musical instruments are used, each representing different elements and creating peaceful vibes. These instruments may include Tibetan singing bowls, crystal bowls, gongs, drums, flutes, and chimes. Additionally, Sanskrit mantras, Sufi chanting, and ancient Javanese and Sundanese lullabies may be incorporated into the session to enhance the healing effects.

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, Agustin 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.

Relationships aren’t just a part of your life, life is relationships. Healing relationships with parents, current partner or ex-partner(s), child/children, inner child, ancestors is a transformational experience. Among all these relationships, the most important one is your relationship with your parents. It doesn’t matter whether they are alive or not, whether you are living with them or you are maintaining a distance from them, the relationship with your parents determines your relationship with everybody else. If someone has an unsettled relationship with the mother, they might go through needless obstacles or have health issues.
If someone has an unsettled relationship with the father, they might go through financial problems. If any one of these relationships is not alright, then the whole experience of life itself is not alright and life becomes divisive and perceptions begin to get distorted. Many people believe that the best way to deal with a relationship or heal a relationship is to cut that relationship off. But being physically separate doesn’t heal the relationship or its impact on you. Your parents don’t live outside of you, they live inside you and you live inside of them.
There is a powerful and effective way to heal any relationship and to allow for forgiveness to fully take place.

Colon Hydrotherapy, also known as “Colonics,” is a highly effective method for detoxifying the body and supporting the immune system. This therapy is particularly beneficial during fasting, cleansing, weight loss, or simply maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
Administered by experienced and certified practitioners, Colon Hydrotherapy at The Yoga Barn’s Cleanse and Detox Center utilizes the Wood’s Gravity Method to re-stabilize the muscles of the large intestine. Using sterilized equipment and triple-filtered warm water under regulated pressure, the therapy gently flushes waste from the colon through a tube (closed system), following the natural process of peristalsis. As Hippocrates said, “All disease begins in the gut,” emphasizing the crucial role of gut health in overall well-being.
Colon Hydrotherapy is a gentle and natural approach to healing, working in harmony with the body to eliminate toxins from food, the environment, and other factors like drugs and alcohol. By cleansing the large intestine, this therapy creates a favorable environment for good bacteria to thrive, hydrates the body, promotes peristalsis, and aids in the elimination process.
This therapy is recommended for various conditions including constipation, diarrhea, gas, irritable bowel syndrome, anxiety, stress, headaches, back pain, parasites, skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis, diverticulitis, depression, intestinal distress, irregular bowel movements, and allergies. Regular colonics are advised to maintain a healthy balanced gut and to use as a preventive and detoxification measure.
Clients report experiencing a range of benefits from Colon Hydrotherapy, including increased energy and vitality, relief from bloating, natural detoxification, improved bowel function, positive and relaxed feelings, healthier complexion, better posture, improved concentration, weight loss, relief from lower back pain, loosening of mucus, improved mental and physical strength, general well-being, assistance for women during their cycle, improved sleep, and promotion of healthy eating habits.
