FITNESS : Bend me, shape me

You’re finally ready to take the pretzel plunge and don’t know how to pick a yoga guru? You need to levitate to the Thailand Yoga Conference next month.

Ideal for novices, the event will have loads of experts and instructor on hand, says the organiser, Yoga Journal Thailand editor-in-chief Thanaporn Limrungsukho.

Yes, yoga twists up your torso and keeps you supple, he says, but it’s really a holistic practice for the mind as well as the body.

The conference will also let experienced practitioners learn more about the related sciences.

The guest instructors are Japan’s Ken Harakuma, Asia’s top advocate of ashtanga and pranayama yoga; vinyasa expert Matthew Sweeney from Australia; certified iyengar teacher Justin Herold; and sivanandha master Chomchuen “Khru Noo” Sidthivech.

Theeradech Uthaiwittayarat from the Thai Yoga Institute will lecture on ayurveda, the traditional Indian medical system. Kawee Kongpakdeepong will discuss yoga philosophy. Vipassana teacher Helen jandamit will lead a meditation class.

Bring your own mat, but if you don’t have one, there’ll be a Yoga Bazaar selling all the needed equipment, plus books and health products.
