Delphine
from Delphine B Yoga
Yoga Teacher RYT-555hrs & WYS-200hrs
Delphine Berclaz was born in a small village in Switzerland where Yoga almost didn’t exist at that moment. She started her yoga journey in Geneva more than 10 years ago. At that time, she was not sporty at all, neither flexible nor strong. Soon, she began to practice every day.
In 2017 Delphine moved to Singapore where she lived for 5 years. In 2019, she did her 200hrs certification in Hatha and Ashtanga with Master Sree at Tirisula Yoga without having in mind to become a Yoga teacher. Yet, surprisingly, the Yoga call was the strongest: within 24 hours, she quit her marketing career, changing the activity of her own business to become a full-time freelance yoga teacher. It was time to share with others all that Yoga had given her in his life, sticking to the idea: yoga is for everybody and every body.
From then on, she worked in several studios in Singapore and also taught private and corporate classes in person and online. At the same time, she kept Ashtanga as her self-practice and participated in Kino MacGregor’s workshop in 2020.
Then, she decided to deepen her knowledge in Yoga and obtained her 500hrs certification in Ashtanga & Multi-Styles Yoga in 2021 with Ulu Yoga.
At the end of that same year, she moved to Bali. She taught regular classes and workshops in several shalas in Canggu and Lembongan and a special class for 150 people at the X-Fest festival in Nusa Dua. She also practiced Ashtanga Mysore with Iain Grysak in Ubud.
She was an evaluator for the practical exams of the 300hrs certification and obtained several certifications besides Yoga such as Usui Reiki Master, Singing Bowls, and Traditional Balinese Massage.
In 2023, she obtained her certification in Yin yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine at Yoga Dunia. She also participated in Paramaguru Sharath Jois Workshop in Ashtanga Mysore in Ubud.
Apart from Yoga, Delphine likes to travel, and discover other cultures, languages and foods. She is also passionate about the arts whether it is music, painting, dance or theatre.
Rachel
from The Anatomy Yoga Academy
UK-trained Osteopath, New Zealand-trained pilates rehab instructor & internationally recognized anatomy teacher Rachel Ellery, specializes in sharing her knowledge of human anatomy and movement principles with yoga students, yoga teachers, and body workers from around the world.
Her mantra “educating and moving the world one body at a time” stems from over 26 years of hands-on experience and 17 years of teaching functional anatomy, bodywork techniques, and movement. Her passion to heal others through touch and movement began while practicing sports therapy in the UK and Caribbean. Rachel naturally progressed into further education at the British School of Osteopathy graduating in 2000. Rachel has also continued training in Cranio-sacral Osteopathy, Garuda mat, dry needling, pediatrics, and shown interest in Eastern medicine healing modalities Wuo Tai, Zen Thai Shiatsu, Thai Vedic Yoga, and the Thai Massage Circus.
Since then, Rachel has practiced holistic osteopathy in NZ and is now based in Bali, the healing capital of Asia, she travels within Bali and to yoga schools across the globe to educate yoga students on the importance of human and functional anatomy encouraging them to develop their alignment, self-awareness, teaching skills and to educate others in the wonders of the body.

Audrey
Our manager
Audrey’s journey originally started in France but her heart has now truly become Balinese. She arrived on the island of god in 2014 and little did she know that unexpected encounter would soon change her life.
After working 10 years in the hospitality business back home, she took a lead of faith, packed up, and ran towards new adventures with her partner to a new land full of surprises. They arrived in the small village of Tulamben, on Bali’s East coast, a quiet little gem celebrated worldwide for its magical dive sites.
Entered Tomomi Becot whom she met only a few weeks after arriving and who became her friend and Teacher. Together, they practiced and studied Yoga for a year allowing Audrey to discover more than just a newfound passion but a new path. Following her desire to take her practice to the next step and has not left this magnificent country that is Indonesia ever since.
Audrey later joined Yoga Dunia’s team to improve her teaching skills around Bali, where she can ally her two passions, Yoga and management. Then she joined the Fly High family for new training and realized how knowledge of human anatomy and movement is so important for practicing yoga safely. Autodidact, she starts to read, watch videos, join the community to study, and learn more about it by herself.
When Audrey is not at work, you can find her wandering around Nusa Lembongan Island and taking pictures or enjoying her cozy home and cooking for loved ones.
