Explore Your State of Flow: Vinyasa Foundations with JY Ooi, Mar 15

River Valley
Saturday, March 15, 2025
11.30am - 12.45pm

Vinyasa is a style of yoga that emphasises the seamless connection of breath and movement while being in appropriate alignment in each pose, creating a dynamic practice that builds strength, flexibility and centredness.

This session is a foundational vinyasa class aimed at unpacking the alignment of:

• Sun salutations (Surya Namaskar), particularly the common vinyasa options taught in public Vinyasa Flow classes (knees-chest-chin; half chaturanga; full chaturanga; baby cobra; high cobra; upward dog)
• Common yoga poses and vinyasa sequences (including the Warrior 1, 2 and 3 poses, reverse warrior, supported and extended side angle, high lunge, chair pose and prayer twists, plank and side plank).

There will be workshop-style demonstrations, verbal and physical alignment (where appropriate), as well as a seamless final flow to connect breath with movement and put everything into perspective. Expect to feel more confident stepping into future vinyasa flow classes with your newfound knowledge and skills.

Whether you're a beginner to vinyasa flow or an experienced practitioner looking to revisit fundamentals, this special class will give you the tools to move with ease and grace. Step onto your mat with confidence and discover the joy of vinyasa!

Suitable for everyone except heavily pregnant practitioners.

This class is part of our Beginner Series Special Classes.

ABOUT JY OOI



JY started practising yoga in 2014 and teaching yoga in 2017. He believes that a yoga practice can be the basis for self-actualisation and personal development, and that it should ideally be less performative and more internal.

Trained and certified in a variety of yoga styles, JY has found that the practices of yin yoga and meditation have most informed his personal practice and outlook on teaching. He has in recent years delved into associated domains such as mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), Vipassana meditation and trauma-informed yoga. He is transitioning to teaching with a greater emphasis on healing, therapeutic and meditative elements.

JY encourages practitioners to observe sensations, thoughts and their breath with a view to realising the impermanence thereof. The equanimity and insight that comes from realising no situation lasts forever is a window to deeper self-awareness and connection. He consciously aims to teach from a grounded space, offering supportive and encouraging classes that facilitate the connection of body and mind through the breath.
