THE BEAUTY OF BALI

I landed for the first time on the Island of Gods in November 2016. The prospect of discovering intertwined
landscapes was my main aspiration, and the island was so captivating with a variety of landscape and each
one has its own unique texture, from white sandy beaches to volcanic mountains. All of this beauty allows
me to capture how local humans preserve their culture to connect with natural elements.

affects our health and fitness. And

when it comes to fitness, theres no
substitute. The only way to get fit is
to actually do some exercises. But
how many people look forward to a
workout?
The good news is the fitness
industry has now evolved too with
the birth of so many new training
disciplines all around the world,
including in Bali. Some of them
are more popular than others due
to communities that become a
big aspect in the fitness industry
today. Over the years, more playful
and fun-oriented training such as
Bootcamp, Crossfit and Parkour
have quickly taken over the dynamic
of the fitness world. People are
now becoming less dependent on
exercise machines or equipment,
while functional training classes are
dominating and more people are
now embracing outdoor training.

training that stimulates both our
body and brain to help us develop
creativity in overcoming obstacles,
have awareness of the environment,
and improve our fitness elements of
strength, endurance, mobility, agility
and balance the combination of
all of these aspects will eventually
help us gain confidence.
According to Tah Riq, the
SHF is intended to be a center of
transformation. Tah Riq found so
many analogies to life challenges in
physical form. For instance, hanging
on a wall represents perseverance
in life. Knowing when to hold on
and when to let go while swinging
between bars is like maintaining
relationships. Learning to go upside
down and land on your feet in a
flip is the same as being disoriented
by life. The purpose of training at
SHF is to help you overcome your
mental blocks by interacting with
the specially designed physical
obstacles, said Tah Riq.
This kind of exercise is all about
blending in with our surroundings
and being one with it. A holistic
method of training that involves
not only crazy maneuvers but also
a sense of knowing ourselves and
our environment better. Fitness is of
course a happy side effect!
Finding no urban terrain on the
island, Tah Riq thought it would be
great to build an urban style obstacle

has healthy surroundings that allow
critters to exist in more than a fair
