New Year Intention-Setting Special Class with JY Ooi, Dec 31

River Valley
Tuesday, December 31, 2024
10am - 11.30am

The New Year is a valuable opportunity to reflect on the year that has passed, and set intentions for the coming year.

This New Year eve, JY invites you to a unique practice that invites you to engage in self-reflection and setting intentions (sankalpas) for the coming year. Practising yoga on New Year eve is a beautiful way to transition into the year ahead. In addition, when you intentionally invite or invoke certain qualities on New Year eve, you set a specific tone for the coming year, with ripple effects that can manifest in the year ahead.

This 90-minute class comprises a short dharma talk and guided meditation, an asana practice featuring elements of hatha, vinyasa (sun salutations) and restorative yoga, as well as a guided journaling component to invite deeper introspection about yourself and the year ahead.

Whether you are a seasoned yoga practitioner or new to yoga, this session invites you to open your mind and heart, embrace the New Year with fresh eyes, celebrate and love yourself as well as others.

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.
