Ulfa was born in Malang, East Java, and moved to Bali in 2004. Her yoga journey began here on the island, learning from a Balinese teacher before her curiosity led her further afield, studying with teachers from around the world to deepen her understanding of philosophy, meditation, and asana.

A RYT 500 with Yoga Alliance, Ulfa specialises in Vinyasa yoga and brings a distinct energy to her classes: joyful, grounding, and rooted in breath and feeling. She believes yoga’s greatest gift is the connection it creates within yourself, and that shows in how she teaches. It helped her build self confidence and self love, and she genuinely loves passing that on to others.

In 2013 she began teaching and organising summer yoga camps in Norway, an experience that shaped her into the warm and welcoming teacher she is today.

One of PONO’s longest-standing team members, Ulfa has been with us since the very early days. She teaches Vinyasa, Hatha, and Restorative yoga in our daily class schedule. As part of our 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training she joins the SUP meditation and paddle session on the water.
She also offers SUP yoga, a unique way to take your practice beyond the mat.
