Jero Mangku comes from a long line of traditional Balinese Hindu priests, and that heritage runs through everything he does. To Mangku, life itself is an offering, and his teaching reflects that completely.

Certified by the School of Sacred Arts in Bali, he has been part of the PONO team for over a decade and brings something genuinely rare to our schedule: a practice rooted in deep spiritual knowledge, bodywork, and a lifetime of devoted study. His Bali Yoga classes, a dynamic style similar to Ashtanga Vinyasa but drawn from traditional Balinese roots, sit alongside Hatha and meditation in his weekly teaching at the shala.

What makes his classes so loved, by locals, expats, and visitors alike, is the quality of presence he brings. Joy, peace, harmony, effort, discipline: these are not things Mangku teaches so much as things he embodies. Stepping into his class, you feel it.
