As a world traveler native to Bali, Madรฉ Janur Yasa embodies Eastern philosophy blended with Western sensibility.
Certified in Somatic Coaching and leadership training, his long-studied practice of Aikido has remained the physical metaphor underpinning his studies and his teaching.
He has found that the tenets of his Balinese cultural heritage have likewise reinforced his interest in and comprehension of Somatic, as both share similar wisdom that views body and mind as inseparable rather than dualistic.
Moksa, a plant-based restaurant, and permaculture garden, his co-creation with executive chef, Madรฉ Runatha, has likewise enabled Janur to pursue his passion for the environment, sustainability, and community.
Ignited by the immediate economic crash due to Covid19 and the environmental crisis already plaguing his native island, he has of late embarked on an initiative of empowerment and prosperity for the Balinese called Plastic Exchange, through a barter program that provides sustenance in exchange for collecting plastic and non-organic waste.
Janur Yasa is one of the top 10 CNN Heroes 2021, the only person from Indonesia and South East Asia continent and a receiver of MURI Record in 2022.
