Greg Kaps

Greg is a sensitive, creative and earth conscious spirit by nature. When he found yoga, it was like coming home. Greg spent years traveling and teaching worldwide, taught over 9,000 public classes, led international workshops, trainings, and maintains a devoted self practice and commitment to personal inquiry and growth. He has completed the 500 E-RYT.

Based in Ubud, Greg is a respected full time teacher at The Yoga Barn and had been a part of the Balispirit Festivsl family since its inception.
Rooted in Classical Hatha, and influenced by many styles and beloved gurus; his classes are fun, focused, and very naturally flowing; lightheartedly exploring and embracing our shared humanness. Greg is also a seasoned and passionate musician and Kirtanist, having lead charity Kirtans for years. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself in a “cirque de soliel” pose one minute, then busting over in ridiculous group laughter or a blissful a singalong the next! Greg also brings pranayama and meditation into each class providing a truly balanced, grounded and holistic experience.

Greg’s current philosophy: “Life is a Divine Leela (play); Let’s embrace our differences, support each other through the challenges, learn how to laugh at ourselves, and have gratitude for the gift of life around us.”
