We really liked Id's Workshop. She guided and helped us to finish our own malas. After this she also explained the chosen stones and their features. Would book this workshop again.Personalized memory

Id is welcoming and has a calming energy. It was a magic and deep experience for me to create my first mala with her. The mala was create with an intention and a mantra.. so important.. I will take care of it and I will practice Japamala with this beautiful and meaningful mala created with Id. Thank you!One of the deepest experience done in Bali

I found Id after a long search on the internet. I had heard about Malas before and was really curious about the whole philosophy behind it and how it is used. You can buy a Mala in Bali somewhere but I wanted to create my own. Id was the only one that I found who offered this kind of workshop. It was amazing. Id was so sweet, kind and fun. I was able to choose my own pearls and created the Mala the way I wanted to. Id knows a lot about the Mala and loves to share her wisdom. My Mala turned out beautiful.This was exactly what I was looking for

Id was a great host for a fun and slightly different activity. Our mala making workshop helped me learn more about balinese culture, was relaxing, and now I have a great memento of my trip. I’m so glad I found the time to book Id for this!connected me with local culture

We had a lovely time with ID creating out own MALAs. A perfect way to end our 3 weeks in UBUD on our 200 YTT course. We selected each bead based on our own intentions - Meant so much more (+ cheaper!) than buying our own in a shop. Highly recommend!!Lovely experience in a tranquil setting

We did the mala workshop with Id. I’m so glad for doing this workshop with her. She’s so kind, nice and welcoming person. She has a very positive energy! If I come to Bali again I’ll definitely attend her tours also :)Definitely recommended :)

Id is such a wonderful human being so taking this class with her was an amazing experience. She was so kind and helpful, she answered all of my millions of questions with a smile on her face. She was inviting and pleasant and speaks perfect English so there was no language barrier at all. She is extremely knowledgeable of the practice of mala making and what each bead stands for and it's meaning. She educated us all on the history and culture behind the making of malas and I found that very special. I set intentions for my necklace and chanted mantras into the beads. She and her friend, who assisted us as well, helped us with the knots in between the beads because that can be a long and tricky process. If anyone is interested in mala prayer necklaces, I highly recommend you take this class with Id! Such a wonderful experience! 🙏

I had a wonderful time with Id! She’s absolutely someone I would love to see again when I return to Bali. It was a lovely experience as she invited me into her home and spoke some of the best English I’ve encountered in Bali. And my mala turned out excellent with some personality haha. I may stick to letting the pros make these in the future. Wonderful!

Id was a very nice host and gave us so much support during the Mala beads workshop. Her knowledge and her beautiful soul were really amazing. She had so many materials to choose from, which made each of our necklaces individual and unique. Thank you so much, Id! Amazing workshop

We did the mala necklace and the "one day in natur tour" with I'd and both of it was such a great experience. I'd is such a kind Person and we felt very welcomed and comfortable from the begininng. We asked her a lot of questions and she has always been very Patient:). If we are back in bali we will definitly do one of her courses again. It was one of our best experiences while travelling in Bali. Amazing experience

What a fun class! I’ve always loved these necklaces and even bought a cheap one in Bali last year. Unfortunately it started coming apart, so I wanted to replace it with a quality necklace. What better way than to make it myself (pretty much for the same price you’d pay at a boutique). Id is incredibly patient and calm. I needed to change my date and time, and she was super accommodating. Her house is a peaceful place to relax and have fun creating something!Fun class, patient & sweet teacher

Making Mala beads with Mala and my family of five was super special. They have become my favorite keepsakes from our trip to Bali. Id was warm and patient, and helped us create beautiful malas that we all cherish. I highly recommend the experience! Mala beads with Id

Id was patient, friendly and an easy going tutor. She was kind enough to come over to my villa to run a private lesson. She had a good selection of stones and thread to create the perfect mala. Amazing Experience

I had he opportunity to do this workshop with Yani also and it was a beautiful moment of sharing ! I was not new to mala making and it was really nice for her to share her tips to make beautiful mala. She is really patient and she listened my needs. I would recommend her for anyone interested to learn how to make a mala and also bring a beautiful one at home (always better to do it yourself rather than buying one in a shop). Go for it !! Awesome workshop

I had the most divine morning with Idyani making malas. Idyani is a perfect teacher...patient, encouraging and so friendly. I made the most beautiful mala. She came to my hotel which was very convenient and brought all the materials with her. A wonderful thing to do in Ubud! A special memory to keep. Gtrea time with Yani

I spent a wonderful time in Ubud, one of the highlights of our trip was learning how to make mala necklace from Yani.... Yani and her friend patiently took the time and effort to explain how the malas were made especially in my case as I had a lot of trouble learning the knotting technique, their English was excellent and eventually I was able to grasp the knot making and am now along with Kerry busily making lots of my malas for our friends, thank you so very much Yanni and we wish you much success with your future workshops, we can highly recommend Yani's workshops for anybody who is interested in mala making... What a great time we had !

Id was amazing; she was professional, kind and very friendly. The location is set in a beautiful, tranquil space that sets the tone for the practice. Id catered for our different levels of practice, making sure everyone had a good experience. Thereafter we were treated to a delicious smoothie and breakfast before heading off to the spa for massages. The spa in the same property was well equipped and the therapist were both exceptional at their jobs. We showered at the spa before leaving. Id stayed outside the spa to make sure we were well taken care of. The experience left us feeling rejuvenated and peaceful. Id went above and beyond helped to arrange transport for us with her brother from our hotel. Her brother subsequently helped drive us around for the remainder of the trip. The experience with Id was well worth every penny and we have made 2 incredible friends along the way! Above and beyond servic

Id was amazing! She picked us up right near our hotel and was so personable and lovely! My partner didn't know what we were doing and she kept the surprise going with me. The location of our yoga experience was absolutely beautiful and Id was a fantastic teacher. Her practice was calming yet challenging and she really kicked our butts (in a good way). Both my partner and I do yoga so she really tailor the experience to your own level. My hamstrings are still hurting! After we were finished, the massages were amazing and needed. Id then brought us back to the original pick-up spot. We had a wonderful time with Id and I would highly recommend this experience to anyone of any yoga level. It was so unique!Amazing time doing yoga in the jungle!

We loved spending the afternoon with Id. We attended a yoga class in Canggu and though good, Id was GREAT! the session location and content was perfect and I would highly recommend it to anyone. The location was beautiful, peaceful and just generally cool. Id tailored the yoga practice to our level, keeping it challenging but interesting and she threw in some moves, poses we had not done before but really loved. After our practice we ended with a massage and snack which was the perfect conclusion to the session. we really wanted to try an additional session with Id but just ran out of time in Ubud. Again highly recommend and loved it!Loved our Afternoon with Id, wish we had time for more!

This trekking is the best thing that I could make it! Was amazing from the beginning to the end. Id is a magic person who you can speak about everything and always try to be sure that you are ok and enjoying with the amazing experience to walk around the beautiful area. The views are beautiful and the waterfull amazing! The best of all is that is not a very touristic tour and you can enjoy the nature and feel the good energy that the north of Bali can give you. If I come back to Bali, I would choose Id not just for make a tour again, also to talk and enjoy her company because she is an incredible person. Her last detail of buying fruit from Indonesia that I had not tried was a beautiful detail. thank you so much Id! hope to see you again, here or in another place in this wonderful world! 🙏🏽❤️Amazing trekking with an amazing Person!

If you want time away from the city to unwind and have a chill conversation with a really down to earth person, then I would recommend this. It was the perfect time away from everything to relax before going back to "life" Cheers, AndrewYoga Experience

For us it was the first time doing yoga. We really wanted it to experience in Bali. So we saw this tour and it was perfect! Yani is a wonderful teacher. She took time with us and explained everything so we could start without problems. She really took everything we told her into consideration and made the perfect experience for us. The yoga was just great and so good for our bodies. We loved it! Afterwards we got a massage and were really relaxed. We liked the most that we could talk with Yani before the yoga in the car and got to know her better. So it felt like being with a friend. We could not thank her more! Great experience. First time yoga and that in the middle of nature
