About Us
WELCOME to Chandra Yoga, an experience evolved from traditional practices.
We aim to support you throughout your yoga training beyond just the physical practice of yoga.
We don’t advocate a specific style of yoga, but will support development of your body, mind and spirit through teaching the principles of movement-asana, awareness-meditation, intention-Sankalpa, and breath-pranayama.
These principles form the foundation of our classes.
We welcome all levels – from beginners through to those more experienced in their yoga practice. Our teachers are mindfully present to support our students at each level within our classes and are committed to creating a space where our community feels comfortable.
As an inclusive and kind community we invite you to leave the outside world behind, immerse yourself in positive vibes and join us on your yoga journey.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We acknowledge the origins of yoga from India which were developed over 5,000 years ago. We are committed to honouring the roots of yoga in all of our classes and sessions.
We deeply respect the teachers who have come before us.
We acknowledge the Balinese people and their traditional custodianship of the land on which we work. We pay our respects to the local Balinese community, recognising their ongoing connection to ancient traditions, and the beautiful land, waters and environment of Bali.
OUR MISSION
We are kind, friendly & welcoming to all in our community who are passionate about connecting, communicating and evolving together through the practices of yoga.
We are committed to creating a safe space that is fully inclusive & respectful of a diverse community.
OUR VALUES
LOVE is the basis of everything we do. We have a genuine love for people, and we are passionate about uniting humanity through the practices of yoga. We truly believe that through regular yoga practice, we can each improve ourselves and ultimately improve the world.
COMMUNITY
Our people (our team and our students) are at the core of what we do, we strive to learn new perspectives by listening to, learning from & educating our community. We are especially driven to give back to the Balinese community in honour and gratitude for being able to live, work and practice in such a beautiful environment. As such, we have made a commitment to ensure that all of our instructors and team members are Indonesian.
INCLUSIVITY
Inclusivity is of the utmost importance to Chandra Yoga. We are respectful of diverse ethnicity, gender, age, race, religion, disability, body shape and sexual orientation.
We celebrate Individuality.
We want to give each of our team and community the respect and the space to explore through the various aspects of yoga and through our meditation and other healing sessions. We provide a sacred space with the opportunity to reflect on a sense of self-appreciation, growth and through forming connections with our community.
THE MOON
“Chandra” literally means ‘the moon’ and to shine or sparkle. It also refers to the “Goddess of the moon” in Sanskrit, Hindi and other Indian languages.
We are inspired by the moon and we follow the natural energetic rhythms of the moon in all of our scheduled practices, recognizing its influence on the human spirit.
Besides it’s luminescence, the moons presence stabilizes the earth on its axis and causes ocean tides and effects the 70% of water in each of our bodies. As such, the moon creates a rhythm that has guided humans for thousands of years.
As the moon is always half-lit by the sun and half covered by its own shadow, the luminosity that’s visible from Earth depends on the ever-changing position of the moon, relative to the sun and Earth. Just like the Moon, Chandra Yoga’s philosophy is to willingly look at our own shadow sides, to then become free from their grip, and more easily enjoy the light.
We invite you and join us at Chandra Yoga and delve into your yoga journey, and explore your own body, mind and spirit along with our inspired community.
