Yoga BamBam

I’m visiting HK and stumbled upon this place on Google (my BFF) and decided to give it a try this morning. I went to their other studio in Shin Heng St — it took me a while to find the place because it’s off the beaten track, not on the main road but this the beauty of it — away from the crowds, humdrum; plus I’m from abroad… so my navigation skills are off. Place is quiet, serene and homey.
I attended Win Sie’s Mindful Hatha class this morning and one word sums it up: amazing. She is good and guided us through each step — her words: breaking it down in bite size pieces. So each step moved us progressively to the final asana. This morning was one of those few times I felt I was in the moment and just being, no mindless chatter in the head etc. thank you WS!

I’ve been practising yoga for almost three years. I’ve experienced immense joy and benefits out of it and so that’s why if i tend to stay in a place longer than a month, I will make it a priority to find a good studio where I can continue my yoga practise. Moving to Hong Kong, it was quite easy for me to fall in love with Pure. Since it is everywhere and they have excellent teachers, (especially at the Centrium location where I practise.) Therefore it wasn’t a hard decision for me to make, to join Pure yoga. As with anything you do and with my complacent personality, yoga can get a little boring after awhile. It’s the same poses, the same class etc. So i began to venture out towards other yoga related recreational sports. My friend who is a certified yoga instructor teaches Aerial yoga in Hong Kong. She recently told me to come check out a yoga class held at Yoga Bam Bam. This is when I learned that Yoga Bam Bam is located in Sheung Wan with a small but open feel to practise yoga. If you are tired of practising inside a skyscraper confined within the walls that are mirrors, try Yoga Bam Bam. They are a new studio that is half outdoors and half indoors. It’s quite a different experience to practise yoga outside. I understand why people do it at the beach and parks. What’s more interesting is that I learned, this space is used for yoga instructors to rent out for the duration of their class. I think it’s an excellent and flexible idea. Instead of the same instructors all the time, whoever wants to teach, whoever is in town can just rent the space out and teach whatever kind of yoga they wish. This definitely spices things up a bit!
