We started our journey by creating Jakarta Ashtanga School in 2010. After six years running a traditional yoga school, hosting various events and workshops, we moved the main shala to Bali in 2017. We aim to keep growing our community of seeker on the island of the Gods, with the hope to celebrate peace, love and light at Nataraja Bali Yoga Shala.
What is Nataraja?
The name of the Shala is inspired by Nataraja, the dancing form of Shiva. Nataraja beautifully combines Shiva’s three roles as creator, preserver, and destroyer of the universe, with the arch of flames conveying the concept of the never-ending cycle of time.
Shiva’s dance symbolizes the constant motion of the cosmos at the very basic, subatomic level, merging creation & destruction at the very primordial level of all existence and natural phenomena.
