Pranasanti Yoga

10 reviews

Pranasanti was founded by a Balinese priestess, Manis. Born and raised in Bali, Manis is a trained “Jero” or Balinese priestess, who has responsibility in her local community to lead ceremonies. On becoming a Jero, she found her sensitivity to energy heightened, so turned to yoga and meditation to balance it. At Pranasanti, Manis and her team offer a variety of retreats, yoga and healing sessions. She tailors each session to the individual needs of her guests, and she creates a supportive and nurturing environment where people can relax, rejuvenate, and connect with their inner selves.

Leksa Ganesha

6 reviews

The esteemed Leksa Ganesha Gallery is nestled within the charming Tembi area of the Bantul region, on the periphery of Yogyakarta. Set amidst picturesque rice fields, it showcases a splendid collection of contemporary batik art created by the region's most acclaimed and skillful batik artists and artisans. Leksa Ganesha Gallery, founded by Tatang Elmy Wibowo and Aprat Koeswadji, emerged three years ago to coincide with the establishment of a cooperative of artists, all of whom display their works in this gallery. Attached to Tatang's family home, the gallery is steeped in history and tradition as Tatang's father, a talented batik artist himself, used to work here until he had to prioritize the family's rice fields.
