Welcome to the International Academy of Yoga – Bali, Indonesia 

Our Home, Our Village 

The International Academy of Yoga in Bali is more than a school — it’s a living, breathing community built on deep-rooted yoga values, cultural richness, and shared purpose. Every member of our team — staff, teachers, volunteers, and leadership — holds the responsibility of building a truly exceptional learning environment. Together, we shape a culture of connection, support, and growth. We call it a village — because that’s exactly what it feels like. 

 Culture Comes First 

At the heart of our school is a deep commitment to human connection. We know that a positive culture is built on the well-being and satisfaction of our students, staff, and community. That’s why we focus on relationships, belonging, and trust. When people feel valued and connected, something powerful happens — we grow, we lead, and we thrive together. 

  There Is No “I” in Our Team 

We stand together in our commitment to the shared vision of our school. Every voice is important. Every contribution matters. Input is welcomed from all — students, staff, teachers, and volunteers — because this school belongs to all of us. 

We communicate openly, honor contributions, and take pride in being hands-on. Titles don’t define our efforts — we roll up our sleeves together. In our village, everyone is an administrator, because everyone cares deeply. 

 We Let Everyone Shine 

Our culture lifts people up. We recognize and celebrate the talents, ideas, and leadership of our students, teachers, staff, and volunteers. Whether someone is leading a new program, organizing an event, or sharing a best practice — we spotlight every act of growth and inspiration. 

We believe that when one of us rises, we all rise. 

 Be Firm, Fair, and Consistent 

Accountability is part of how we grow. We approach discipline and feedback with dignity and compassion, always seeking a win-win solution. We know that challenges are opportunities for dialogue, understanding, and progress. In our community, we learn from every conversation. 

 Culture is Our Fabric 

We intentionally design our school to reflect and honor diversity, creativity, and cultural depth. Every individual is welcomed and celebrated for who they are. Our Cultural Committee works to weave identity, inclusion, and responsiveness into every layer of the school — from classrooms to professional development and beyond. 

Our spaces reflect our pride, with vibrant art, innovation, and student and staff contributions proudly displayed. 

 Connected to Our Community 

Our school is deeply rooted in the broader Bali community. We cultivate strong ties with neighbors, local leaders, service providers, and supporters. We invite them into our events, programs, and celebrations — because our vision thrives with their partnership. 

We also ensure families and community members stay informed and involved. Our communication is intentional, timely, and transparent — because community is the foundation of everything we do. 

  Create a School Nation — The RRR Spirit 

We believe in being loud with the positive — so loud that it drowns out the negative. Our Recycle, Reuse, Reduce (RRR) shop, known as the Everyone Shop, is a powerful symbol of who we are. It’s more than a place to find gear — it’s a celebration of Earth, creativity, and unity. 

We wear our spirit gear proudly. We honor sustainability. We teach responsibility. Our RRR shop is run with love by students, staff, and volunteers who share a vision of conscious living and community pride. 

  Be Blessed. Be Soft. Be Welcome.
