Bilik Yoga, SF
Pudji Lestari
About
I strive to share the benefits of yoga with adults and children, to nurture the body, mind, and spirit through yoga practice that is safe, challenging, informative, and fun.
​
My personal yoga journey began in a small apartment. That tiny physical space was the starting point for my inner journey. I want to help every student find the key to their own yoga room and fall in love with the practice.
​
"Bilik" means room in Indonesian.
​
I teach Hatha, Pre-natal and Post-natal, Intro to Ashtanga , as well as Vinyasa Flow, focusing on mindful movements, Pranayama breathing and alignment.
​
Education: I am an experienced, 500-hour Certified Teacher with Yoga Alliance through The Mindful Body San Francisco and Jason Crandell Yoga Method,
as well as a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher with Trauma-Informed Focus through Yoga Ed.

All levels welcome, contact me for private/group classes.
What people are saying
The first day I walked into Pudji's class,
I knew she would be my teacher.
Her ability to connect with a positive, empathetic, and patient energy was what I was looking for. More than anything her attention to safe alignment sealed it for me. She takes time for me to get to know my body, and her classes move at a pace that allow me to flow with a strong awareness of breath and alignment.
I am a late bloomer to yoga. I started in my late fifties, and now in my sixties I feel stronger, more flexible, and willing to challenge myself even further than I imagined. Pudji has offered a space for this physical growth, and what comes with that is an overall sense of well-being.
I am thankful to her confidence in me, and her encouragement towards new challenges
Mairead Kiernan, San Francisco
Beginner to yoga. I have been practicing with Pudji for over two years now. She knows human anatomy and really understands what my body needs with each practice. I used to have chronic pain in my legs and feet due to a lower back issue. I can say that with practice, I have been so much better.
Pudji is a dedicated teacher who is 100% present in mind, body and spirit during class.
Pudji has helped me to really listen to my body, mind, emotions and even personal relationships.
She is not just my yoga teacher but also my physical therapist, personal trainer, psychologist and a dear friend.
I am very grateful to have her as my guru.
