Duncan Wong's yogic
path began in his teens when he sought solace from his combative
youth. His yogic roots are founded in the Ashtanga Vinyasa
lineage, which he is authorized to teach by Master K. P. Jois,
of Mysore, India. He is certified in the Jivamukti method,
and attributes his asana-goddess reconnection to co-creators,
Sharon Gannon and David Life, of New York. He received his
black belt teaching degrees, and his primary Buddhist influence,
from his life-long Korean Kuk Sool sword mentor, Master S.J.
Su, of San Francisco. Duncan’s dual-edged path found common
ground in his exploration and research of the Thai and Shiatsu
healing.

Paul Grilley's
Yin Yoga is the relaxed practice of floor postures for three to five
minutes at a time. It is the ideal compliment to the more muscular,
or “Yang,” forms of yoga. A Yin practice emphasizes the connective
tissues of the hips, thighs, pelvis, and lower spine. In this way,
it prepares the body and mind for longer meditation practices. By
drawing your awareness away from your muscles and deeper into your
bones, a deep level of relaxed focus is achieved.
