The free trial classes at Urban Yoga Cheras Plaza is ended.

They have setup their website – www.urbanyoga.com.my but you may only check the schedule for Kepong, Plaza Damas and Cheras Plaza outlets from 3rd to 9th Nov 2008 at their Blog.

Yoga Events from 19th to 26th Oct 2008 - Klang Valley only

Based on the Poll Result, it shows that majority of the ex-YZ members chosen to practice at home instead of joining any yoga centers, although there are so many upcoming new studio setup by the former YZ teachers. This could be due to most of the ex-YZ members are still servicing heavy credit card installments, especially those Golden Life membership, and any additional fees now could be a burden to them.

Anyway, it is a good news to them as there are some free yoga classes conducted by the new upcoming studios as trial classes, outdoor yoga conducted (voluntary basis) by some kind hearted former YZ teachers and also the free yoga classes to the public by Cultural Centre of Indian Embassy.

Although this free classes would not solve our loss caused by YZ, at least this can again let us warm up with yoga practice in group at free of charge at the moment...

Hope everyone enjoy the yoga classes. Cheers ^_^

Yin Yoga is the relaxed practice of floor postures for three to five minutes at a time. It is the ideal complement to more muscular or “Yang” forms of Yoga. A Yin practice emphasizes the connective tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis and lower spine. In this way it prepares the body and the mind for longer meditation practices. By drawing the student’s awareness away from the muscles and deeper into the bones a deep level of relaxed focus is achieved.

Yang Yoga is a dynamic practice, which cultivates the raise of energy from within. It will start with series of standing postures and ending with inversions. In this practice, correct alignment of each posture and the flow of the sequence will be precise and logical. This is a complementary practice against to Yin which brings strength to the muscles and the joints of the body.

Course Director - Victor Chng
Victor met Paul Grilley – the founder of Yin Yoga in 2004 Dec and has completed a teacher training with Paul on Yin Yoga and Anatomy for Yoga. He continues to study with Paul and Sarah Power on a residential yoga teacher training program at San Francisco in Feb 2007. Victor is greatly in-depth to his teachers on giving him permission to teach Yin Yoga and to continue exploring this path with his own intuitive knowledge.
