Charlotte Hoogenhuizen
Born in Australia N.S.W. in 1968, Owner and Founder of Narasoma Retreat Centre, Narasoma Homestay & Villas and Narasoma Spa in Ubud – Bali, Indonesia.
Studied Yoga with Sri Jaya Shakti (Guru Arsana) since 2009 and started teaching Yoga under his guidance in 2012.
Spiritual Journey:
I set out on a spiritual path in Tibetan Buddhism in my early 20’s but my spiritual and life-changing journey began when I found my spiritual home and teachers in Bali, Indonesia 16 years ago. For more than 12 years I was doing the spiritual practice without Yoga Asana (yoga postures) and as a result, held a lot of physical blocks in my body and lacked confidence in general. After incorporating Yoga Asana into my daily life since 2009, it is unthinkable for me to live my life without incorporating all aspects of yoga with my spiritual practice, and I also believe it was with blessings received from the Guru that my whole life was transformed, both inside and out.
Personal Yoga Teaching Style:
Focused on building prana through a flow of movement and breath, resulting in expanded strength and endurance. It is a dynamic, physically challenging class, with room for individual modifications to encompass beginner and intermediate yoga poses. It is an energetic, invigorating yoga style, supported by a carefully selected spiritual music playlist that helps to create flow, movement, and opening of the body.
I Wayan Mina
We also have a Balinese Kundalini Tantra Yoga team of instructors that teach in the venues here in Bali. Pak Mina is a disciple of Ashram Munivara and has studied Kundalini Tantra Yoga with Guru Arsana. He teaches at Om Ham Retreat, Ashram Munivara and at Ubud Bodyworks Centre.
Wayan Mina was born in Padang Tegal, Ubud village Bali in 1970. His family background is a farmer, but he is a painter. When he was young, he always thinks about God and spiritual life education.
He knows Guru so well because of his house just near Guru’s house. He knows Guru for a long time since he is young. One day, he got an accident that made his legs palsied. As he knows Guru is a healer at that time, Guru gave treatment for his legs and make him better.
He started to be a Yoga Asana instructor on 2008 at Ashram Munivara. Then during the time, Guru asked him to be a Kundalini Tantra Yoga instructor. Also, he is a meditation instructor at Om Ham retreat.
