About us

Chio Studio was born in Byron Bay, Australia, before I even knew what it was meant to become. In that corner of the Pacific — surrounded by ocean, nature, and a community deeply connected to movement — inspiration began to take shape. There, almost unconsciously, the idea emerged: to create pieces that would accompany the body with authenticity, comfort, and purpose.

A year later, in 2024, that idea found the perfect place to grow: Bali. It was there that we began creating the first pieces, shaping the designs and defining the fabrics, patterns, and details that reflected exactly what we wanted to express. It was a slow, intuitive, and deeply personal process in which Chio began to discover its true identity

In June 2024, we officially introduced Chio in Barcelona, the city that is now our home. Barcelona became the meeting point of everything we had lived: the freedom of Byron Bay, Bali’s creative heart, and the urban energy that fuels new projects. Here, we found our community and began to grow.

Who’s behind it?
Behind Chio is me, Ari. Movement has always been part of my life, but it was in 2019 that I discovered yoga and fell completely in love with conscious practice. That love led me to move to Australia, where I deepened my path and trained in some of the best schools.

Months later, I traveled to Bali, where the brand was born and where I also trained as a yoga teacher. I now teach in different studios across Barcelona, as well as in our own events and retreats.

Every detail of Chio comes from real experience: hours spent on the mat, observing, and understanding what works — and what doesn’t — when the body is in motion. The brand is built from this lived experience and from a deep respect for the body and its natural expression.

After living between Australia and Bali, traveling, learning, and finding my own way, I realized that everything had to be created with purpose. Returning to the origin and building from there is what gave life to Chio Studio: a brand that values conscious movement, simplicity, and authenticity.

Today, Chio is not just clothing.
It’s a way of understanding the body, of connecting with yourself, and of remembering that the most meaningful things often come from a place that is simple, true, and deeply personal.
