Yoga Journey: Back to Basics - A Hatha Yoga Special with JY Ooi, Nov 30

Orchard Central
Sunday, November 30, 2025
5pm - 6pm

To close our November journey, we return to the heart of the practice: Hatha Yoga. In this slow-paced, accessible class, we explore how postures (asanas), breathing (pranayama), and meditation can harmonise body, mind and spirit.

With an emphasis on present-moment awareness and the quality of breath, you'll be encouraged to tune inwards and meet your practice as it is—without striving, judgment or comparison. This class is a work-in, not a workout. It’s a space to reconnect with the deeper intention of yoga as mindful embodiment.

All postures are beginner-friendly, with modifications and props to suit a range of needs and conditions. This is an ideal class for those recovering from injury, pregnancy, or simply seeking a softer, more reflective approach.

- Perfect for beginners and experienced practitioners alike
- Safe for pregnancy, postpartum, and those recovering from injury
- Emphasis on breath, stillness, and introspection

ABOUT JY OOI



JY started practising yoga in 2014 and teaching 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.
