Ubud Bodyworks Centre

Ketut Arsana the founder of Santam Bhuana Foundation / Ashram Munivara and Kundalini Tantra Yoga is also the Mahatma Therapist and Spiritual Teacher who established Ubud Bodyworks Centre and Ubud Aura Retreat Centre.

Kundalini Tantra Yoga is a technique and system of healing Yoga which comes from his personal mastery of Yoga and yearning to find the best technique to heal the body fast. This type of Yoga is developed especially for Ashram Munivara and he has passed his knowledge to his students at the Ashram.

This healing Yoga uses tantra along with pranayama (breath) at the same time. This is important for energy raising, flowing, moving and balancing. Tantra is raising the energy so that you can use in your life.

With this technique people can in a short time feel the energy working internally and making the glands active.

When the glands are active, everything will become more flexible because of the volume of oxygen moving inside the body and opening every joint. In the long run this Yoga helps the kundalini to rise.It is more important to make the glands active in the body first. In Kundalini Tantra Yoga you need to move the body together with the breathing which activates the glands. When the glands are active, from the energy moving, that is how we can make the body more flexible. More oxygen moving in the body can burn toxins in the body and cleanse the blood and the muscles.

That’s why we call it Kundalini Tantra, raising the Kundalini through movement with breathing. It is combined with Kundalini, Astanga, Hatha and Sivananda (Surya Namaskar) Yoga and he has chosen particular asanas which are important in raising the energy and helping the gland system. Ketut Arsana was born in the village of Padang Tegal, Ubud, and grew up in a family of traditional Balinese shaman healers (Balian).

The healing tradition was passed on from his grandfather and previous ancestors. Balinese shamans still play a central role in public health care and this has remained virtually unchanged since ancient times.

The Balinese lineage of healing normally skips a generation and is passed down through the male line. Ketut Arsana was the boy chosen by his grandfather to keep this lineage alive within the family.

Ketut Arsana began his healing practice with his own family, and gradually extended it to neighbours and eventually anyone who heard about him. In addition he continually improved his knowledge by way of learning from other healers, praying in temples and other sacred places, and through spiritual discipline. Most importantly Ketut Arsana found his spiritual teacher, Maha Guru, and surrendered to God (Lord Siva).

About the growth of his establishments

In the unique environment which Ketut Arsana has created at the Ubud Bodyworks Centre, whereby healing occurs on many levels, he has been able to help countless local people as well as people from around the world, with their physical and spiritual problems.

Through his work and the financial support of Bodyworks Centre, Ketut Arsana was able to establish Ashram Munivara. The Ashram was established to further assist the spiritual needs of the seeker and to offer people from other cultures the opportunity to fully experience his culture and to develop an understanding of Universal Spirituality. There is accommodation in the Ashram for the person who wishes to study deeply and to do that in a very quiet, serene, isolated environment.

Ketut Arsana also founded Ubud Aura Retreat Centre, a harmonious, balanced and safe accommodation venue for retreat groups, individuals or spiritual people who come to Bali and wish to connect with the Ashram but prefer to stay in town. Ubud Aura is operated and managed by his daughter, Savitri.

Throughout his entire life, Ketut Arsana has devoted both time and money to local communities and currently travels around the world to help people. To continue his mission he recently established Santam Bhuana Foundation. This foundation was created to open up his assistance around the world.

Both Bodyworks Centre and Ubud Aura welcome all kinds of people. Through the purchase of goods and services, the customers of both businesses are automatically financially supporting both Ashram Munivara and Santam Bhuana Foundation.
