Yoga Retreat by Victor Chng

Some of you have asked about yoga retreats. Well, now my senior is organising a yoga retreat at Bintan. You can pick up application forms from me and sign up via OmIm.

Yoga Retreat
Advancing with the practice
23 July to 25 July 2004


One of the key question as we proceed in our yoga practice is “How to advance in our yoga practice”. In this retreat, you will experience yoga as an integration of the body, mind and spirit, with the introduction of inversion on yoga asana, pranayama, meditation and the use of sound in yoga practice. Victor will lead you to understand the concept of advancing your practice and what you need to do to design a program for yourself to advance. He believes that the guru is in all of you and you just need to pay attention and tune into the inner space and find the centre of your being.

Highlights:
· Introduction of shoulder balance, handstand, headstand and full backbends
· Various techniques on hip-opening
