Yoga Workshop by Vincent Tam

Day one: Get into the groove with Flow Practice.

We begin with breathing exercises and discussing its benefits.Though some of the poses have been repeated by my previous workshop with a different master, i noticed each master has their own way of doing it. Different techniques have been shared which is very useful.


Far end is Master Vincent giving tips and instructions.






Lunges:

I like this one, it looks so easy, but if you do it incorrectly, you will get injured.You must imagine someone will sit on your back leg hamstring while you resist your leg to push upward and keep front knee perpendicular to big toe. In this pose you must also imagine,as if you stretch the mat apart while using finger tips, fully activated pressing against the mat,to give that uplifting feeling and reap all the benefits.




This was fun. Hand to big toe, standing balancing pose, while holding on to the shoulder of a partner for support.

Day Two: Flying High Flow..

This includes various arm balances, headstands and handstands. Techniques on how to do it and how to spot. Fast paced flow interesting series of movement also been performed.









Reclining Hero. This is only applicable for those who are comfortable with the pose, fun too..



Master Vincent explaining, how to prevent wrist injury. One must focus on each finger path. A properly and evenly spread fingers on the mat is a must, while palms fully activated and put the weight on it. A nice soothing massage in partnering for the wrist to relax, after heavy arm practice is also been demonstrated.

So far, the workshop was a success and a very wholesome environment. Just like my other previous workshop, you are always been surrounded by friendly- low profile fellows. Stress free indeed. As what Yoga masters said, "A True Yogi, Never Show Arrogance In The face"..

My heartfelt gratitude, to first and foremost, Master William who organised the workshop. To Master Vincent who spend his time to fly Brunei, all the way from Kuala Lumpur just to share his knowledge and expertise..To Mr. Wu Chun, Fitness Zone director, my present employer who fully supported and sponsored us(together with co instructors) to attend to this event, thank you so much..
