I started to learn Ashtanga Yoga in AYBRC with Prem and Radha 2013. I came back from Oslo to do yoga class and private yoga with Radha for 2 weeks. Even after 9 years of Ashtanga yoga, I still learn a lot. Radha is an excellent yoga teacher. I recommend student who want to reach a new level in Ashtanga yoga to go to AYBRC. Thank you Radha for being such a good teacher. ❤️ From Oslo - Norway 🇳🇴

AYBRC is Paradise within Paradise. Setting foot there for the first time can be quite breathtaking and the drive to roll out your mat and start practising impossible to restrain. The Shala blends in perfectly with the surrounding environment - actually, it seems more nature-design than man-made! I had the privilege to practice there for 9 weeks - what an unforgettable experience! My practice got to a deeper all-round level with the guidance of two amazing teachers : Prem & Radha! Their 70years combined experience is vesseled onto students with profuse love, care and compassion. Their attention to details, alignments is peerless. Rest assured that not a single movement (let alone asana!) would pass unnoticed to their scanner eyes! The practice is, therefore, built up on each indivudual in a proper, sustainable and healthy way with no rooms for injuries. What I found more extraordinary is the fact that, however Ashtanga may result rigid to many, Prem & Radha make this practice joyful and sometimes, why not, funny. Research here is all about discovering oneself through this amazing practice and finally understanding that THE ONLY WAY OUT IS IN . Well, roll up your mat and grab your ticket to Bali !!

If you are an Ashtangi in Bali, you must practice at this incredibly special shala. Radha and Prem offer world class guidance & provide a sanctuary to deepen your practice physically and spiritually, plus the opportunity to connect with other yogis from around the world.

Walking through the doors to the shala is like stepping into another world. It is the most beautiful place to practice, surrounded by the forest. Prem and Radha held my hand and guided me through my practice each day, with kind attention, sharing their wealth of knowledge. I have gained so much from being there for 4 weeks, more than just the asana. They have created something rather special and I feel privileged to have been a part of it for a short while. Thank you guys 🙏

I stayed 3 weeks practising Mysore with Prem and Radha. I learned so much! The amount of knowledge and love they share is incredible! (A small detail, each day student comes and goes, but they always remember students’ name from Day1) I am very grateful that they helped me identify better modifications for my current conditions, but at the same time still taught me new Asanas beyond Half Primary. Whenever I hear Prem remind us: don’t focus on going deep, focus on breath and integrity, I know I am at the right place. 💛 Thank you so much Prem and Radha, I am truly grateful for the time with you and the guidance you kindly and lovingly gave me, not only for practice but much more beyond. I will now continue my practice journey when returning home, but I will definitely return to learn more from you. Sending you loooooots of looooove!!!

I joined AYBRC for 3 weeks and then i extended 1 more week because Prem and Radha are amazing teachers and amazing ppl. Their approach is different from what you normally would encounter in ashtanga mysore practice. They observe your practice and breath, adjust to your level (adjustments/props/etc) and needs. They will guide you through the practice step by step, no matter what level you are (i am a total beginner), they will help you listen to your body and not just doing the asana’s where you might end up hurting yourself. I could feel during my last few days of practicing subtle changes, like more connected to my breath, more focus and other small (baby steps) improvements. I also had a consultation with Radha, where she after an extended “intake” and talk, gives you tips/lifestyle changes depending on your dosha and “problems”. Very insightful& highly recommend 🙏🏻💫💛

I highly recommend AYBRC for everyone to improve and learn yoga! For me, It was really nice practicing yoga here! Even though I only took it for 2 weeks but i do enjoy the class with Radha that much! She helped me a lot and gave me tips to improve my yoga. In fact, this is my first time learning yoga but I didn't get burned at all. TMI; Aku datang dari Jakarta,Indonesia dan termasuk murid termuda juga berhijab pertama disini!😆 Besides, aku bertemu dengan orang-orang yang juga belajar yoga dari berbagai belahan dunia, and that was so cool to met them and shared so many things that related to yoga, healthy lifestyle, and life! I'm so excited if I have another opportunity to join the class again asap. Thank You Radha…

I'm head over heels in love with this place and these teachers. The best yoga experience of my life 🙏🏼

Prem and Radha are very sincere, supportive, super experienced and knowledgeable. The days practiced in their shala was like a sweet dream that you never wanna wake up. Felt nourished and blessed. 🙏🏽☺️

After 7 weeks of practicing with Prem and Radha I can say my body and mind transformed tremendously. Teachers with deep experience that only by practicing with them for some time I was able to understand many subtleties I had been missing from my understanding of yoga. I can’t wait to go back and practice at this beautiful shala. Thank you both for leading them into my daily practice one more 🙏

I had the most beautiful experience with Prem and Radha in the last 4 weeks. So many years of experience in the practice, combined with so much knowledge on Ayurveda and an overall deep understanding of the human experience. I could really feel how attentive they are to each practitioner and how they personalise their teaching to each of us. You can feel how much they love what they do, and how much faith they have in this method. most of all I was reminded that the practice is a tool to understand myself and my patterns, and the goal is not to get into any asana.. a very mature and grounded approach. I would definitely recommend anyone who is practicing ashtanga to go to this beautiful shala Can’t wait to come back 💖

It was my first experience with mysore ashtanga style of yoga...and I must say, at first, I felt a bit lost and confused about the whole approach but then I saw how many things I've been thought in the wrong way, how many asanas I've not been doing correctly...in the beginning it made me feel like a failure but I felt so much support from Prem and Radha, especially Radha's love and big heart ❤️ They have a firm gand though, which I loved! Also, they don't just throw you into the whole sequence, if you are a beginner, they make sure you are doing all of the asanas correctly and that you develop strenght and awareness in each asana, before doing new ones. Nevertheless, they ignited this will power in me, to go further and deeper in my ashtanga practice. I will definitely be back in the future. Also not to forget to mention, the shala in the middle of the jungle is such a beautiful place to do your practice, a peaceful spot 15 min drive from the center of Ubud.

If Ashtanga Yoga Bali Research Centre is being referred to as “Paradise within Paradise” by many students including myself, this is not only due to the center being located further away from the crowded centre of Ubud and right in the middle of the forest but it being guarded by its heartful angels: Prem and Radha Carlisi. They are here to guide you by taking you under their wings, providing a soft and smooth space where you can observe and rebuild the base of your practice and hence yourself from the ground up… Prem and Radha have been practicing Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga since 1978 and 1988; and you can feel/see and read their experience in their pedagogical approach: sharing a different recipe to each and everyone, inspired by the ayurvedic wisdom. They are the teachers of my teachers with whom I’ve been waiting to meet, study and practice for years and years… After a month of experience with them at AYBRC, I cannot think of anything else but returning back to study and learn more with and from them… I feel thankful and grateful for such a wonderful experience ! Love you so much 🙏♥️✨

Last year, I was over 62 years old and had some injuries in some parts of my body. I was able to practice stably at shala. I would like to thank two teachers, Prem & Radha, for their reminder and encouragement, which allowed me to complete two months of practice and three weeks here. intensive courses. It is particularly worth mentioning that in addition to the practice of asanas, they also taught the practice of breathing techniques, which made my body and mind feel balanced and stable.

Amazing place where to practice traditional Ashtanga Yoga. The shala is open and you practice with the sound of the forest and your breath. I stayed for two weeks and practiced with Radha that is very good teacher and very nice person.

If you are in Ubud you should definitely come and practice with Prem & Radha. The shala is beautifully nested in the jungle. A warm thank you to Radha for guiding me during my practice with such gentleness, helping me to feel more grounded and calm with each breath. This place is heaven 🙏🏼 I hope to be back soon ❤️

I spent 1 month in November 2022 & highly recommend practising & learning with Radha & Prem! I’ve been practising & teaching hatha & satyananda yoga for over 15 years and was curious to experience ashtanga yoga in an immersive way, exploring the physical but also emotional & energetic effect of committing to such a disciplined practice 🙌🏼 it was a wonderful experience & felt really met with kindness & I have taken it forward into my life (which I did not expect!) 😉💛 Thank you Radha & Prem 🙏🏼

Amazing place to practice Mysore, Radha is a really experienced teacher giving a lot of care and individual attention to all students. Set just outside Ubud with the sala surrounded by lush jungle. Recommend!

The place is really wonderfull, an outdoor shala in lush green nature and you will love the ride in the morning to go there. But more importantly Prem & Radha are absolute gems of human beings. If you ever get the chance to study with them please do. Commit for a minimum of 2-3 weeks bc otherwise it doesn’t make sense and also out of respect for other students bc you take up time of the teachers when you are there so be mindfull about that and know that ashtanga is a practice for life that you will learn here in a way that it truly supports your life. I’ve never been so in touch with myself in my practice and transformed for the better in such a short time as I did by having Prada as my teachers. This is not the wannabe spiritual ubud scene this is the real juice & these are top notch first generation ashtanga teachers that have to knowledge and wisdom to transmit it to you with their heart and soul.

This is a wonderful place for Ashtanga practitioners!! Less students under the top-level teachers guidance. Prem and Radha were so helpful, they were always there, looking your practice and be ready to give you adjustments that you need, make students feel safe and also progress step by step. The shala has the best environment, totally connected with the nature. It was just an so amazing experience there! Before you come, make sure to apply online first! Then you will get a warm welcome !

Had a great experience with AYBRC for six weeks. Radha rebuilt my practice from the ground up, with a focus on form. It’s was a transformative experience. I have practiced with a few teachers in Australia, but was impressed by Radha’s focus on correcting bad habits (which meant rebuilding and going back to basics). Also had a really beneficial workshop on bandhas. The Shala is beautiful. There is nothing more amazing than being in the jungle and practicing early with an amazing teacher, all the sounds, the beauty and calm…it was incredible. Thank you so much Radha.

When I asked to Krista - my Ashtanga Yoga teacher (in Europe) - who would be perfect to enhance my Ashtanga Yoga practice she immediately replied that internationally the best are Prem and Radha. So I put all my trust in her because I know she has a very inclusive approach to Ashtanga full of kindness and love and I knew I would find the same in Prem and Radha. But wow, what I found was more. They represent the true essence of yoga. Everything was more than perfect. They take care of you and follow you in a very deep inner growth, bigger than you can imagine. I love them so much and will definitely continue to improve my yoga practice with them. I also did Ayurvedic counseling with Radha. It completely changed my life in a better and wonderful way. I always knew I had to change some things but I needed a guidance, someone who really see deeper in me and tell me in the right way with honesty, determination and love these truths. I believe in Karma so I think meeting them again from the infinite past was one of the greatest treasures of my present life. Also I met so many wonderful new yogi friends, so beautiful people... I feel so lucky! Thank you wholeheartedly for everything! I miss you all so much!

The place is really nice and cool

When researching yoga studios in Bali, Ashtanga Yoga Bali Research Center stood out with its focus on the Mysore style of yoga, individualized attention to students, and high quality instruction. It’s rare to have teachers at Prem & Radha’s level of expertise provide hands-on, personal guidance to practitioners of all levels – from beginner to advanced. In their own unique way, they each helped my husband and me become aware of certain tendencies, learn appropriate modifications, and (re)establish a foundation for our personal practice. We’re grateful for our four weeks at AYBRC, the community of yogis we met, and the newfound skills we have to implement into our practice going forward. Thank you Prem & Radha for creating a space where people can learn, grow, breathe, and experience an honest practice.
