Thoriq
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Thoriq began his journey in movement at the age of four through Martial Arts, specifically Capoeira. Following his family’s path, he moved from Java to Bali, where he was introduced to a new culture and community through Yoga and self-awareness practices.
At fifteen, his brother challenged him to stand on one leg for 20 breaths. Struggling with pain and imbalance, Thoriq realized the importance of staying connected with himself and finding balance through discomfort. This moment shifted his perspective on movement—from an external fight to an internal journey of awareness, a principle that continues to guide his yoga practice today.
Over the years, the wisdom of yoga reshaped his principles and values. With more than a decade of training and an RYT 200 since 2020, Thoriq now teaches at The Yoga Barn Ubud, specializing in Arm Balances, Inversions, and dynamic Hatha/Vinyasa flows accessible to all levels.
Beyond yoga, Thoriq has been a Capoeira Senzala Indonesia instructor since 2016 and shares Afro-Latin Social Dance, especially Salsa, with the Ubud community. In 2024, together with his brother and mentor Sugeng Madeira, he co-founded Cakrawala Academy, dedicated to healing, recovery, and next-level training in Yoga, Dance, Martial Arts, and Healing Arts.
