Bali Spirit Festival 2025

This session is an invitation to experience the timeless essence of Ashtanga Vinyasa as it has been created in Mysore.

In our session, Anand from South India, the very birthplace that nurtured the legendary Krishnamacharia, a lineage celebrated for its authenticity, precision, and profound spiritual depth, brings this heritage to life, offering clear and intentional guidance that mirrors the revered traditions of Mysore. You will explore a series of dynamic movements synchronized with the rhythm of your breath, each step inviting you to delve deeper into your practice and inner awareness.

This profound experience is designed to inspire and empower, awakening both body and spirit. As you move through the sequences under the watchful eye of a true Mysore Ashtanga practitioner, you are encouraged to embrace the balance of strength and surrender.

Are you ready to join Anand and experience the transformative power of the authentic Mysore Ashtanga tradition?

A Yoga practice to let go of unnecessary effort. 

In this extended class you will be guided to relax fully and learn a deeper sense of surrender. When we hold on or grip too tight our vision becomes narrowed and our energy gets quickly depleted. 

In this restorative yoga workshop, we will move through slow steady movements, sequenced together in a therapeutic way to steer you to breathe deeply and gently to aid in healing the body & clearing the mind. It will conclude with an extended guided meditation into Yoga Nidra.

You will leave feeling refreshed and rejuvenated and ready to play in the sunshine!

An active, immersive session guiding participants through dynamic somatic exercises to access the subconscious mind, stimulate the senses, and achieve deep meditative states. This workshop emphasizes fascia awareness and integrates live or curated music to enhance the festival experience.

Scott Bauer is long time Ubud resident who began his life in Queens, New York will share his experience, strength and hope on the arduous journey he has undertaken to find inner peace. His formal educational back ground, based in modern science proved to be unfulfilling and resulted in a detour into substance abuse. This journey led him to live in Aspen in the late 1970’s where he worked as a bartender in the Jerome Hotel serving celebrity patrons such as Hunter S Thompson. Always believing that his life’s challenges were coming from outside of himself Scott moved from place to place thinking that the proverbial ‘grass would be greener in the next location only to find himself and his same challenges each new town he landed. Finally after living in Maui, Dallas, Sonoma County, Cal, San Franciso Scott returned to New York working as a sommelier. It was here in the Big Apple that the bottom fell out of his life. Losing his job, his relationship and his apartment it was time to change or die, it was in these moments of desperate uncertainty thank something shifted in his perception. The world was coming from him not at him. It was then that his restoration to sanity began and the journey to Indonesia was beginning. Scott looks forward to sharing his  experience with Bali Spirit Festival and it is his intention that perhaps his message will help another sentient being find their way to contentment.
