OMPlace Studio: Sneak Peep of July's classes

Sunday 4 July 2010

Sneak Peep of July's classes

First and foremost , we apologize for the delayed announcement about the cancellation of Martin Kirk 's workshop which was supposed to hold last Month (26th & 27th June ) . Both Martin & myself deeply regretted for this final decision due to the inconvenience circumstance. However, you can still join his workshop & trainings in other countries, please visit his official website -www.kirkyoga.com for the latest workshops' schedule and locations.

Secondly, Please be open heart to welcome my new associated yoga teacher -Wendy Liew. She has lately completed her Yoga Teacher Training Course from the international recognized Yoga School - Yoga Vidya Dham , India. She will conduct 2 morning sessions for beginner level, Tuesday and Thursday @ 8:00am respectively. Please come and join her!!

My favourite & fun "stretching Toy ' 's finally fixed up at the studio wall. I like to use it in my own personal practice to do the restorative inversion ,the backbending position and many other cues. This innovative wall rope system is called Kurunta in Sanskrit which originated by BKS Iyengar and everything i have learned about the use of Kurunta has been through the guidance & inspiration of my close Taiwanese friend - Alex who has seriously involved with the extensive years of Iyengar training in India. The yoga Kurunta gives a whole new experience of yoga practice. You would definitely enjoy the deeper stretching like i do and you would also get the full opening of yoga asanas you might never experience before.

The word Kurunta means puppet or doll made of wood. In using the wall ropes in the practice of yoga asanas we become like puppets suspended by ropes. The use of Kurunta to make students more aware of postural alignment and to help open areas of the body that might be difficult for them to reach. The system is also helpful for students with special needs ( therapeutic ) and for older people who may need extra support.

The basic technique for Kurunta will be tuaght in the Supported Yoga classes along with other props ( chair , the wall and the blocks ) we use to enhance your yoga practice . Please refer to July 's schedule.

Vinyasa Yoga - the sequences i categorize them into different group of Heats based on the intensity of each transition and the relationship of each connecting pose .The sequences are truly inspired by my recent trainings with Edward Clark -Tripshichore yoga and Vincent Tam . They both have something in common, The uniqueness & Creation in pose to pose transition & dynamic movement are the hallmark of their approaches to make Vinyasa Yoga a fun & playful yet a new physical level of practice!!

Healing Power of Singing Bowl

Healing is the state of inheriting balance and harmony with our highest purpose. When an organ or bodypart is healthy , it produces a natural resonant frequency in harmony with the rest of the body when the vibration of a part of the body is out of harmony, we have "dis-ease". When sound is projected into the " dis-ease" area, correct harmonic patterns are restored. The practice of singing bowl which produces soothing resonant sound as a tool to promote healing .It is also a type of energy medicine that create the deep feel of peace and wellbeing" space" in which people can get healed from stress disorder , depression , the emotional rollercoaster and more.
