Yuli Tan
Yoga Teacher
Long before Yoga became her life, Yuli was living and working abroad in Seattle (USA) when a chiropractor had suggested it as a way for her to maintain her spinal adjustment. Yuli took the recommendation and eventually started attending Yoga classes consistently. However, upon returning to her hometown of Jakarta (Indonesia), Yuli quickly found that the local Yoga classes offered had very differing styles than the ones she was used to and enjoyed. Unable to find someone teaching the methodology she was seeking, Yuli stopped practicing Yoga momentarily.
It was not until a friend invited her to a class Nilesh was teaching that Yuli re-discovered her love for Yoga. She found Nilesh's practical, hands-on and health-focused approach to Yoga to be immediately beneficial and precisely what she felt had been missing from the other Yoga classes.
Despite a temporary work transfer to Hong Kong quite shortly after their meeting, Yuli remained deeply inspired and motivated by Nilesh's teaching. She continued her practices regularly and has since stayed dedicated to her passion in Yoga. Today, Yuli practices Yoga under the guidance of Nilesh in Jakarta.

Avi Basuki
Yoga Teacher
MEET AVI BASUKI
Avi started her journey in yoga when she met Lino Miele in 2001 in one of his workshops in Milan. It was love at first sight with Astanga yoga, and she has been practicing ever since.
Through the challenges of life she finds yoga to always be a safe space, a “place” she calls HOME.
After meeting with many influential teachers in her path ; Patthabi Jois, Manju Jois, David Swenson, Prem & Radha, David Goulet, Nilesh Tiwari, she finally met Danny Paradise and was introduced to shamanism, which has actually been flowing in her ancestry for decades from her traditional Javanese family, overloaded with shamans, rituals, spirits and esoteric practices.
After decades of avoiding things that she can’t (and maybe didn’t want to see), Avi has finally embraced shamanism and studied the technology, now feeling completely at home and “at one” sharing this path to the true self.
