About Us — Sixth Element Bali Yoga

We Didn’t Build a Yoga School. We Built a Place to Come Home To.

There’s a moment that happens to almost every student who walks through our doors. It might be on the first morning, when the Balinese sun spills across the practice space and the air smells of frangipani and fresh earth. Or it might be on day four, when something in the body finally lets go. Or it might arrive quietly, mid-meditation, when the noise inside the mind softens for the first time in years.

That moment — that exhale — is why Sixth Element Bali Yoga exists.

Our Story

Over a decade ago, we came to Bali the same way many of you will: searching. Not necessarily for a career in yoga, but for something more real. For stillness in a world that never stops moving. For a practice that met us not just on the mat, but in the deeper corners of who we were becoming.

What we found in Bali changed everything. The island carries an energy that is difficult to explain and impossible to forget — a spiritual pulse that runs through the rice terraces, the temple ceremonies, the morning offerings placed quietly at doorways. It felt like the right place to teach yoga. Not just about yoga, but the kind that actually transforms you.

So we built Sixth Element Bali Yoga — named for the idea that beyond the five classical elements of earth, water, fire, air, and space, there is a sixth: consciousness. The awareness that makes practice meaningful.

Who We Are

We are a team of dedicated yoga teachers, healers, and practitioners who genuinely love what we do. Our lead instructors — Bhaskar Yogacharya, DV Seth, Edina, and Bhojraj — bring decades of combined experience across Hatha, Vinyasa, Yin Yoga, Kundalini, Anatomy, Pre/Postnatal Yoga, and Teaching Philosophy.

But more than their credentials, what defines our teachers is how they show up in the room. With patience. With honesty. With a deep respect for every student’s unique journey.

We are a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS), which means the certifications you earn here are recognized around the world. But the real credential we care about is this: students who leave here feeling more like themselves than when they arrived.

What We Believe

We believe yoga isn’t something you perfect — it’s something you grow into, slowly and honestly, one breath at a time.

We believe Bali is one of the few places on earth where that growth happens faster, deeper, and more naturally. Something about the island’s energy invites you to drop the performance and simply practice.

We believe every student who comes to us — whether they’re a complete beginner or an experienced practitioner — deserves personalized attention, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

And we believe that the best yoga teachers aren’t the most flexible or the most polished. They’re the ones who have done the inner work.

What Makes Us Different

We keep our group sizes small on purpose. Not because we can’t accommodate more students, but because we know that real learning happens in connection — between teacher and student, between classmates, between you and the island itself.

When you arrive, you’ll meet our Ayurvedic doctor, who offers wellness guidance tailored specifically to you. You’ll practice near Bali’s coastline, where the ocean reminds you daily that breathing is enough. You’ll have access to internship opportunities, practical teaching experience, and mentors who give you honest, caring feedback — not just praise.

We also integrate both traditional and modern approaches. Ancient philosophy, pranayama, and Sanskrit sit comfortably alongside contemporary anatomy, modern teaching methodologies, and trauma-informed practices.

Where You’ll Find Us

Our school is nestled in Jalan Pantai Betuas, Desa Keramas — a peaceful village in Gianyar, Bali, away from the tourist rush but close enough to everything that makes the island magical. Rice fields, ocean breezes, temple bells in the distance. It is, genuinely, one of the most beautiful places we have ever practiced yoga.

A Note to You, Wherever You’re Reading This From

If you’ve made it this far down the page, something is pulling you here. Maybe you’ve been thinking about teacher training for years and haven’t quite found the right place. Maybe you just need a reset — a few weeks somewhere that forces your phone out of your hand and your feet onto the earth.

Whatever brought you here, we’re glad you found us.

Come with an open heart. Leave as a teacher — of yoga, and of yourself.
