Picture this. You wake up slowly, no alarm, to the sound of a river and birds you have never heard before. The air is warm and smells faintly of frangipani and incense drifting from somewhere nearby. Your best friend is in the room next door. There is nowhere you have to be except the shala, at a time you chose, for a practice that was designed specifically for where you are right now.

No orientation speech to a room of thirty strangers. No shared schedule that half-fits your needs. No performing wellness for anyone else’s eyes.

Just the practice, the place, and the people you actually want beside you.

Terima means “to take or receive,” while kasih means “to give back.” Together, they reflect the beautiful moral of reciprocity: when you receive something, you should also give back—not necessarily to the same person, but to others around you. This embodies the Balinese value of taking care of one another and fostering a sense of community.

Catie's philosophy centres on creating spaces where everyone can thrive and develop. In her own words, Catie shares, "Yoga was a lucid part of my childhood experience. The asanas came much later. I've loved to explore my weaker areas, and handstands plus backbends were definitely that! These areas are now totally different than before. I love that! We can change!"
