Man Yee Kam |

See www.yogamanyee.com.au After 15 busy years of “corporate life”, the realization that something was missing from Man Yee’s physical being was a profound turning point. Man Yee discovered and gravitated toward the Iyengar style of Yoga with it’s wholesome discipline, precise movement and concise instruction. She has felt the benefit and reward this unique style of Yoga offers. It has provided her with a directional reference point, an increased sense of body awareness and a clear & focused mind. In 2007 Man Yee became a trainee teacher and after 2 and half years of study under the tutelage of Shri Ramanuja she became a certified Iyengar yoga teacher. Man Yee is committed to ongoing self development and deepening of her knowledge. She practices daily and recently attended an intensive retreat convened by Dr. Geeta Iyengar. She travels annually to France to attend intensive retreats with Mr. Iyengar’s long time disciple Faeq Biria (pictured). |
