The Story Behind
Yoga 108 Bali
Yoga 108 Bali was built on a simple idea: strip yoga back to what matters. Rooted in the timeless teachings of India, our studio was created as a space for honest practice — free from trends, ego and noise. We believe yoga should feel real, grounded and transformational.
More than a studio
The Yoga 108 Studio
in Seminyak
At Yoga 108, the experience doesn’t end when you roll up your mat. Step inside and you’ll find more than a yoga studio — you’ll discover a space built for connection, learning and growth. Open daily, we welcome both travelers and locals into a grounded, ego-free environment rooted in authentic practice. This is yoga as it was meant to be. Honest. Direct. Transformative.
We’re also proud to share our on-site Good Karma Store — a curated collection of Indian sarongs, handmade jewelry, inspiring yoga books and our own Yoga 108 clothing, including tees, hoodies and tanks.
Practice. Browse. Connect.

Sagi Jessie Degon
Sagi has spent the past 15 years practicing and teaching yoga, returning to India several times each year to study directly with his teachers. Since opening his studio in Bali in 2014, he has taught a wide range of practices including Yin, Hatha, Ashtanga, creative Vinyasa, and powerful hands-on practices that go straight to the essence of yoga. His approach is known for being direct, honest, occasionally provocative, and always rooted in traditional yogic wisdom.
Initiated into Maharishi Mahesh Yogi’s Transcendental Meditation in 2016, and later into the Kriya lineage of Swami Shankarananda Giri in 2018, Sagi spends much of his time in India practicing meditation at the ashram. His passion is to transmit yoga as it was meant to be—authentic, experiential, and “bullshit-free”—guiding students toward a deeper inner connection with themselves, the sacred, and the intelligent source.
Sagi brings a balance of humor, depth, and spiritual intensity, often challenging the ego while supporting each student’s personal journey. His teachings remain rooted in the ancient traditions while fully alive in the modern world.

Passionate about sharing yoga in its most authentic expression, Julie guides her students toward a fuller understanding of the practice, one that extends far beyond the mat and supports the growth of mindful and committed practitioners.

Violen Lesmana
Yoga isn’t just a practice for me — it’s a way of life. Over the past 15 years, yoga has helped me transform into a calmer, more resilient, and more open-hearted version of myself. It’s also been a powerful tool in managing my scoliosis-related back pain. Through yoga, I’ve learned how strength and softness can exist together — on the mat and in life.
