Manta Yoga Shala / Pablo Luna Studio

The Manta Yoga Shala is an integral part of Intaaya Retreat, a project designed and built by Pablo Luna Studio, perched on the cliffs of  Nusa Penida, Bali. Intaaya is a tribute to nature, conceived with the premise of creating architecture that emerges from its surroundings while respecting its essence. Every decision in the project was made with a focus on sustainability, adapting the constructions to the terrain and utilizing local materials. As part of this vision, Waste Water Gardens were implemented in collaboration with the Biosphere Foundation, enabling treated water to be reused for garden irrigation. Limestone from the site was repurposed for retaining walls and mixed into rammed earth, while bamboo, carefully selected and treated in Bali, was used as the primary structural material due to its durability and natural integration with the environment.
