| About Victor Chng |
|
Victor has been practicing 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 December 2004 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 to explore this path with his own intuitive knowledge.
As a Chinese, Victor is highly inspired by ancient Chinese art of
healing such as The Yellow Emperor Sutra, I-Chng, Taosim,
Buddhism and Confuciusim. His teaching goes beyond looking
at the body as a muscular-skeletal structure. To Victor, it is
important to view the body as an embodiment of energies and
consciousness. He seeks to open every layer of his being in his
practice and imparts the same view to his students. Integrating
Yin & Yang energies is what he views as an holistic path to bring
oneself back to the centre. Finding the right balance in one's
lifestyle that supports every aspect of one's life forms the core of
his teaching. Victor is able to simplify and systematically teach students ways to practice effectively and progressively in the journey of yoga. In his teaching, you will
find the four pillars of adopting a new perspective on yoga, a new way of engaging the practice, a
behavioural change and transformation of consciousness.
Since 2005, Victor has been teaching Yin Yoga successfully all over Asia. He has trained more than 500
teachers in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong and China. Victor is also the founder of

| Frequently Asked Questions |
What is Yin Yoga?
Yin Yoga is a quiet practice which emphasizes on holding each pose for a longer period of time 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 the 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. They also work in the knee and ankle areas. Yin Yoga targets the joints by
encouraging more opening and spaciousness in each joint. Therefore, people usually feel more
freedom of movement after each practice. The body also naturally feels lighter and more relaxed.
Can a beginner do Yin Yoga?
A beginner is usually challenged on all fronts in a yoga class. He is often neither flexible enough nor
have sufficient strength. It is important to focus on one issue at a time. Yin Yoga is going to
tremendously improve a student's flexibility. If a beginner can first practice more Yin Yoga, he will find
that he will be able to cope better in general classes. This helps to build more self-confidence for
beginners and encouraged them to continue with their yoga practice. Many beginners are often
discouraged by their initial yoga experience due to the fact that they may not have the right flexibility.
What are some of the benefits of Yin Yoga?
There are many benefits to be gained from Yin Yoga practice. Physically, it allows the body to become
more flexible in a safe way. Staying in a pose for a longer period of time also stimulates the meridians
in the body and in turn brings more vitality to the organs. It also promotes physical and mental relaxation
and as a result one feels more calm and at ease after the practice.
What if I cannot stay in the pose for a long time?
Do not struggle in the pose. Relax the body more, especially if you feel tension in certain parts of your
body. Do not move too much or over-extend yourself while holding the pose. Focus on your breath to
release tension in those areas. As you come back for more regular practice, you will find that tension in
those areas will be reduced.
Is there any potential harm in doing Yin Yoga?
Just like any other yoga practice, if you do not engage the practice correctly, it will cause more harm than
good. It is important not to over-extend yourself in a yin pose. Stay relaxed at all times by keeping the
external body soft. We do not want to use a yin attitude and yang engagement in a yin practice. This may
cause unnecessary injury. In general, people who are guided well in class find yin practice absolutely
beneficial. We have not known of any bad effects in practicing Yin Yoga.
