Hello Yogis, Yoginis and Friends of The Yoga Barn,

Connecting and building community has been at the heart of what we do. June is a month where we shine a light on how that translates into making a difference at a grassroots local level, to setting larger intentions for harmony and peace in our global yoga community.

World Yoga Day is Friday 21 June and is a UN endorsed day to recognise and raise awareness of ‘yoga’s’ inspiration as a vehicle for change, connection, healing and spiritual uplift. Sunday 23 June we invite you to join our World Yoga Day Event morning program of meditation, yoga and sound healing. A ‘by donation’ event, all proceeds will go to our selected NGO ' Solemen'. A soul-touching charity making an impact by changing the lives of disadvantaged and disabled individuals in Bali.

Community Class Announcement | In June some returning classes will be on the schedule. And, building on 11 years of yoga, talks, events, parties and fundraisers we are once again responding and growing with our community. A larger River Dome studio is under construction which will result in more space meaning more people and more giving back. All of our community classes are by donation and 100% of funds from our classes to make a difference on the ground for our outreach environmental, health and education partner programs.

FREE Community Event - everyone welcome!   ‘Leading with Conscious Awareness is a one-stop consciousness extravaganza happening at The Yoga Barn, 4:30pm to 6pm by world-renowned neurosurgeon, neuroscientist and pioneer in mind-body medicine - PNI (psychoneuroimmunology) Dr Ian Weinberg. This unique neuroscience journey underpinning consciousness is not to be missed.

One of our most beloved yoga teachers and longest standing legends at The Yoga Barn is Made Murni. Our latest blog interviews Balinese born, Ni Made Murni sharing insight into her personal experience of " ‘Yoga in Bali’ and journey to teaching”. An advanced asana yoga teacher and role model for women, she recalls her beginnings on the mat at ‘The Barn’ being as equally humble to the size of its first studio.

In review of our monthly Workshops and Events , special Night Events and 2019 Yoga Teacher and healing art training programs we are pausing to take stock at the power of global connection. The line-up of visiting international renowned teachers just highlight how those that collaborate with life on a spiritual path become potent ‘extra’ordinary beings. See which passionate creators will be your next mentor.
