Yin Yoga Teacher Training by Victor Chng
Date: 18 Feb – 21 Feb 2010
Venue: The Theory & Practice of Yin Yoga

Victor was not born with a flexible body and having learnt yoga in his late twenties did not help. His practicing of dynamic yoga such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa in the beginning made his body stiff and caused a slight hamstring and knee injury.

Yin Yoga is the solution which he found most therapeutic and healing. During this period where he had to back off from his active nature to confront the silent nature, he developed new insights in his practice. Like many, he initially had physical and emotional struggles with Yin Yoga. However, he finds this practice most rewarding in bringing him back to his “centre”. The yoke of both his dynamic and passive nature has been discovered and developed through this practice.

Victor is passionate to share his process of transformation, which has inspired many.

Anusara Darsanam Retreat with Bo Srey, Certified Anusara Teacher
Date: 24 – 28 Feb 2010
Venue: Saree Samui, Koh Samui, Thailand

This four-day retreat on the beautiful island of Koh Samui is a great opportunity to have the vision of your own Heart. The word Darsanam in Sanskrit means vision. An alternative meaning is mirror or that which reveals the Self. During our time together we will practice practical silence in addition to the practice of Anusara Yoga. In the beauty of nature, coupled with our intention for silence, we will dive into the subtler approaches to yoga asana: asana as a vehicle for self-reflection, self-awareness.

You will experience deep rest that can only come from unplugging from the world and diving into the practices of yoga. Each asana session will carry a different intention to help us find our own inner Darsanam. All levels and experience welcome!
