On pilgrimage through the high Himalayas to the holiest bathing festival on earth, the Yogis are confronted by a chaotic world. Ultimately they immerse themselves in the waters of salvation.
Become a certified YIN YOGA teacher: May 28-30 Victor Chng a direct student of Yin Yoga creator Paul Grilley can certify you as a teacher in this unique style of yoga in these three days.

This interesting approach deepens flexibility by working on the connective tissue as opposed to just muscle as is done with our usual practice of vinyasa and Ashtanga. Victor will be teaching the FOCUS class on Sunday May 27 th to give you a taste of the practice.
