About Victor Chng
Victor has been doing yoga since 1999. His main motivation to teach yoga comes from wanting to bring healing to people in all layers of one's being. 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 residential yoga teacher training programs. Victor is greatly indebted to his teachers for giving him permission to teach Yin Yoga and to continue exploring this path with his own intuitive knowledge.
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a quiet practice which emphasizes on holding longer time in each pose while encouraging the entire body to relax. In Yin Yoga we encourage the body to be completely relaxed . The stretch is passive and we are using the weight of the body to provide traction to the tissues, especially deep connective tissues in-between muscular layers and the surrounding joints. Typically, each pose is maintained for 3 to 5 minutes. The poses typically target the lower body around the lower back, sacrum and hips. It also works at the knees and ankles. Yin Yoga targets the joints by encouraging more opening and spaciousness in each joint. Therefore, people usually feels more freedom of movement after each practice. The body also naturally feels lighter and more relax.
