retreat!
Good news!Master Chua (who co-conducts our Sunday gOngfu+yOga classes) and I are in discussion to organise a joint retreat for his disciples and our yogis.
For those of you who missed out on our Yoga Escape! to Loola, Bintan last year. . . don't miss it this time! See pictures of the fun we had here.
The plan this time, for Master Chua and I, is to jointly conduct the programme at the retreat. Master Chua is not just an expert of Wing Chun (Yong Chun) Gongfu but he is also an instructor of Qi Gong and other methods. This means that participants would have the opportunity to practice these techniques in the outdoors, in nature -- as our Loola participants found, practicing with nature was an exhilarating feeling -- bringing about a sense of oneness with the universe.
We are in the process of developing the programme, the location and prices are not confirmed yet. But similar to the Loola retreat, the programme would not be jam-packed with too many things to do. We want to quiet down our mental noise not create more noise! You can look at the previous programme for an idea of how things were done.
In the meantime, Master and I would like to find out the level of interest out there for such a retreat if we were to conduct this on the following dates: 9-12 August (Wednesday to Saturday) the National Day weekend. Participants can have the option of staying one more day on their own on Sunday. Please drop us an email, mOmentOmyOga@gmail.com and let us know if you're interested. Participation is open to all yogis and their friends. Prior experience in yoga and gongfu not required.
