Nading Rhapsody - Sarawak, Malaysia



Portrays the Iban ethnic‟s mythical story of an extraordinary role model. According to the long saga of Dayak tribe, Nading was a legend god of a place called “Panggau Libau.” Nading Grasi was Keling‟s uncle, the Iban master hero. Due to his aggressive nature and curiosity, Nading Grasi was asked to leave (expelled from) Panggau Libau (Heaven). After leaving Panggau Libau, he started living life as a normal human being on earth which is known as Borneo. Nading has visited many places, and has seen many things. Through folktales, he shared stories of the life of people in places he visited. He had a strong philosophy and different methods or ideas of „heroic act‟. Soon after, his life journey has been forgotten as years passed by the local community. However, its cultural legacy always remained in the hearts of the ancestors in Panggau Libau. Inspired by Nading‟s journey, a new generation band called “Nading Rhapsody” made up by young musicians of various ethnic backgrounds, are determined to bring back the distinctive spirit of ethnic folktales and songs that has been adapted to suit the demands of contemporary music. Nading Rhapsody has been featured in various international music festivals throughout Malaysia such as the Rainforest World Music Festival, Penang World Music Festival, JB Arts Festival, Yayasan Sime Darby Arts Festival, Festival Belia Putrajaya and World Animal Groove Music Festival.

Their music presentation is a unique cross-cultural and fusion of folk songs, ritual chanting, lullabies, myths, stories of ethnic groups in Sarawak and Contemporary music with a new and different arrangement. The band has also composed a few original songs with an injection of various ethnic elements.

‎Aseana Percussion Unit (APU) - KL, Malaysia



The Aseana Percussion Unit is a total percussion unit first formed in 1998 when 4 guys got together with the thought of experimenting on blending the sounds and rhythms of different types of drums and percussions. The group has since then grown and now has 11 highly skilled percussionists and musicians as its core members.

If you think the drum is just an instrument that makes a lot of noise – then you have not had the experience of watching an Aseana Percussion Unit performance. The extraordinary musical properties of each instrument are skillfully explored and combined as a whole and the effect is extraordinarily beautiful.

The instruments that are being used – just to name a few – are the Brazilian Surdo, Indian Tabla and Taviel, Malay Kompang and Gendang, the Chinese Drum, the Trinidadian Steel Pan, the African Djembe/Talking Drum and common household appliances.
Through the years and over many performances, the Aseana Percussion Unit has made audiences realize that a performance involving only percussions and drums, not only creates wonderful music but is also an entertaining experience.

Aseana Percussion Unit is a renowned World Music Fusion performing group that combines the various Malaysian Ethnic Musical instruments together with Western Rhythms in a contemporary style and we consider ourselves as Malaysian Musical Ambassadors. We have in the past been invited to perform at the World Music Rainforest Festival, KK Jazz Festival, Penang Jazz Festival Peace Festival & Jarasum Jazz Festival in South Korea in 2005 for a crowd of over 10,000 people, at the Zhu Jia Jiao Water Village World Music Festival in China in 2007 and at The Taichung Jazz Festival (2009) as the closing act to over a 20,000 crowd and (2010) at the HI Seoul Festival in Korea, 2011 a China Tour, World Music Festival (3 cities),and also Hong Kong International Jazz Festival and the recent Chiangmai World Music Festival 2014. Our unique musical style has indeed impressed our foreign friends with the fusion of the musical instruments and rhythm being played by multi cultural Malaysians.

To date Aseana Percussion Unit has recorded an album titled “Colours of Rhythm”
The recording for their 2nd Album is underway.

Stereo Buddha - India



Stereo Buddha was Founded in London, in the summer of 2010 by Siddharth Sharma and Shubhangi Tewari, It was meant to be a studio project, but as time passed, the duo realized that they can turn it into a bigger entity ; a lush dreamscape of sound! Stereo Buddha’s Motto is simple “Sonic Enlightenment” which is what stereo buddha literally means!.

After almost 2 years into production, their debut album called “Evaporate” was released on 9th February 2013.

The music on Stereo Buddha’s debut album was created over this period in 3 different cities– Edinburgh, London and finally Delhi, starting when the members resided in the UK as students, but in different cities.

They had worked together previously on other music projects and discovered they had a creative synergy that allowed them to create music even across the barrier of physical distance, sharing ideas over the internet and sometimes even the phone! However, this supposed ‘disadvantage’ worked out rather well for us as it has added a different dimension and depth to the music.

One listen to the album and we’re sure, people will have trouble pigeon-holing us into any one genre.

For the sake of classification though, we like to think of ourselves as downtempo, Having said that, we do not compose our music with any rules or theory binding us and are guaranteed to overstep our generic boundaries.

Workshop Description

Cowabunga Chaturanga!

Chaturanga Dandasana or Four-Limbed Staff pose in yoga asana is also sometimes translated as “the shoulder shredder”. Those who have repeatedly perform this pose in their practice may attest to the name that its been given. Known as one of the most repeated asana in a Vinyasa based yoga practice it can be more prominently seen in Surya Namaskara A & B and the Ashtanga practice. Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this asana however. Chanturanga Dandasana requires awareness to critical alignment of the shoulders and wrist, and the right techniques to engage the core muscles and shoulder girdles. When practiced correctly, it builds foundational strength towards simple and more advanced arm balances.

In this workshop, we will explore the common mistakes observed when transitioning into this asana and the right techniques to safely incorporate it into your daily practice. The session will include one peak pose in the form of an arm balance so that students will gain the understanding of how Chaturanga Dandasana can help build strength towards arms balances poses.
REQUIREMENT FOR WORKSHOP: Anyone from the ages of 18 and above. Yoga mat, and small towel (it will get sweaty!).

‎Kosta Miachin - Canada / Thailand



Wellness - Vikasa Yoga

Konstantin ‘Kosta’ Miachin is the founder of yoga school called Vikasa, which means ‘evolution’ or spiritual growth.
His vision is one of raising human consciousness and making the world a better place by spreading the message of love and peace. This mighty task is being accomplished at Vikasa yoga retreat by focusing on the study of yoga with an emphasis on holistic health, organic food and an inspiring environment that is conducive to personal transformation.
Kosta’s passion for yoga blossomed in 2004 when he set out on his own journey of self discovery. This journey has taken him to the far reaches of the world, from remote Himalayan ashrams, to his initiation by a master monk in a sacred Sak-Yant ceremony in the North East of Thailand. Kosta has undergone extensive training and was certified with five different schools: Yoga 23, Sivananda Yoga, Mysore Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, Andiappan Yoga and Universal Yoga and maintains close ties to many other yoga schools around the world.

The vision for Vikasa yoga was born on Koh Samui with Kosta’s realization that the deeper dimension of yoga is a spiritual journey and a conscious evolution of the individual. Seeing this as the ultimate human endeavor, he committed his life to supporting others on this path.

With his wealth of knowledge and experience came the understanding that yoga is an ever evolving process and unfolding of one’s own nature. Thus the concept of yoga as a constant evolution was founded as ‘Vikasa: the evolution of yoga by Konstantin Miachin’.

Workshop Description

Active Movements From Your Core: How to get into a Posture

People often think of ‘core’ work in yoga as the hardening of the abdomen, whereas in fact it is
more to do with the ability to move from your core. In this session Simon will teach you how
to enter a posture using your own internal energy. The methods taught here are the
foundations of a sound traditional yoga practice, real internal martial arts as well as modern
exercise physiology that can give you core strength with total freedom in your body.

Resistance Training From Your Core: Trying to Leave a Posture

Resistance training has been shown to be one of the most important types of exercise for
enhancing health and longevity. However, when practiced incorrectly, as is often the case, it
can cause physical damage or physiological stress. In this session Simon will show you how to
get the benefits of resistance training in static postures (asanas) and dynamic exercises
(vinyasas) with no risk of injury.

Spinal breathing: Circulating Prana with movement

Most people know that breathing is important in yoga, but many have developed faulty
breathing habits that tend to block the movements of the spine and inhibit internal
organ function. Trunk muscles and spinal movements can direct your breath, but once you
understand how to move actively from your core, it is possible for your conscious breathing to
control your yoga. In this session Simon will teach you how to move your trunk so as to
control your breath, and then show you how to progress to moving your breath so as to
control your spine and physiology.

Workshop Description

5 Tibetans

The 5 Tibetans are a series of five asanas or exercises thought to have been practiced by Tibetan lamas and yogis for 2500 years.

The reported benefits of daily practice of the 5 Tibetans include increased energy, reduced stress, increased strength and flexibility, and a heightened sense of calm and clarity of thought – resulting in enhanced health and well-being, leading to longevity.

These exercises on their own take about 20 minutes and are a great addition to any daily meditation, yoga or exercise regime.

Each exercise corresponds to a particular element: earth, water, fire, air or spirit (ether) which in turn correspond to the first 5 chakras of our bodies. The exercises increase the spin of the chakras, balancing the elements and bringing wonderful, rejuvenating results.

This practice is for anyone, even if you have no yoga practice at all – all you need is a willing spirit!
Our two hour workshop will introduce you to the 5 Tibetans so you can take them home and integrate them into your daily practice.

5 Elements

Through an integrated and flowing practice including breathing (pranayama), meditation (mantras/visualizations) and asanas Elemental Yoga endeavours to find balance in the Five Elements that we are composed of and that compose the universe; earth, water, fire, air and ether (akash). The elements are aligned with the chakras, those energy vortexes that need to be open and energized and so balancing the elements harmonizes the chakras and provides for a greater sense of well-being in the self.

Benefits from Elemental Yoga include ease of mind, balanced energy, becoming re-energized, improved circulation, improved breathing, clarity of mind, improved focus. With these benefits often comes alleviation of symptoms of illness as we address the root causes of disease through the practice and resulting balance.

Workshop Description

Beginning Meditation-Training Of the Mind

What is meditation? Is it mindful activity, is it peaceful stillness? Is it a state of the mind? What exactly is it?

For many, meditation is not easily explained. And that because all the answers can be true. It can be whatever we need it to be, it can be catered it to suit our unique and individual personalities. Ultimately, meditation is whatever works for us. But the first step is examining how well our mind can concentrate.

Concentration and depression are opposites. If we want to be able to focus our lives, we need to be able to focus our minds. So for starters, meditation is about training the mind to concentrate. Educate the mind to concentrate and you will need no other education. This means that a trained mind can be applied to any activity and bring success and eventually mastery. Thus applying meditation to what we do has rich potential.

In this workshop we will explore the many facets of meditation and what it means to train the mind. We will go over the basics of meditating, practicing traditional sitting technique as well as dynamic movement style. Most importantly we will see how to apply meditation to your practice as well as in your everyday activity, thus opening the door to experience our fullest human potential.

This workshop is open to all levels of experience. Educate yourself to concentrate!

Workshop Description

The YOGA OF RELATIONSHIPS

In the practise of yoga we stretch, bend, we breath and extend.

Always we are called in to awareness, in to the present moment, and ultimately in to deeper connection with our body and our self.

Yoga is a practise which deepens connection to our true self.

In the Yoga of Relationship we take our approach on the mat and apply it to the people around us. If we are “all one” then our relationships offer us limitless opportunities to stretch, bend, and extend ourselves. And a limitless opportunity to be called in to awareness and a deeper union with our self and others.

In this workshop we will look at the foundation skills for Relational Yoga.
how do we maintain awareness of our centre with another person?
how do we deepen our sense of connection?
how does our physical yoga practise help our relational yoga?
how do we deepen our practise of the Yoga of Relationships

There will be talks, exercises and an opportunity to share your own insights in to relating. We all have a valuable piece of the puzzle when it comes to the Yoga of Relationships. The more we can interact, and then share authentically from the Heart, the deeper our practise becomes.

The Yoga of Touch

The practise of yoga on the mat can be an isolated exercise, confining us to a coloured rectangle of space without connection to another.

However from the moment we are born, touch is the first sense which connects us to the outer (and the inner) world.
Babies are cuddled and soothed in their mother’s arms. We are deeply accepted, and this memory stays with us throughout our life. Without touch, and the sense of connection it brings, our yoga practise becomes shallow and disconnected from the world around us.

The Yoga of Touch allows us to rediscover this connection in a deeply healing way.

First we connect at a new level to our internal structure. Bones touch muscle, muscles touch organs, and the fascia connects everything.
Secondly we discover our relationship with the external world. Feet touch the floor, gravity touches the spine, skin touches skin.Finally we explore our relationship with each other. Have you ever bumped in to someone at the supermarket and blurted out “sorry” without knowing why? Yet when we brush against another person in a yoga class it is completely accepted. Connecting with this deep acceptance first, the Yoga of Touch adds a new depth of connection to your yoga practise.

Workshop Description

Aqua Yoga

Students get to practice real Yogasanas in the pool (a combination of traditional Hatha Yoga and unique Sandhya Maarga Aqua Yogasanas) instead of just doing water aerobics. Just as it sounds, learning Aqua Yoga with us is absolutely fun and healthy. If swimming in the pool can benefit the health tremendously, practicing Yoga in the pool can double, if not triple, the positive effects on the body.

Water is a great medium to exercise due to low impact and possibilities of creating various levels of resistance to suit individuals’ abilities and needs. It offers the potential for safely extending stretches in ways that are not possible for many people on land. The properties of water are fully used when bodies are immersed up to the shoulders and neck. Therefore, one can benefit from the positive effects of hydrotherapy while working out.

Lou Eu & Devi - Malaysia



Sound Healing

Devi discovered the cosmic healing sounds of singing bowls as a teenager walking through the streets of Kathmandu in Nepal, when the clear tone of a Tibetan Singing Bowl resounded out of a nearby store, silencing her mind and bringing about a defining sense of peace and tranquility felt in her heartspace, and the answer to a question that had been troubling her up until that point: will I ever feel inner peace? That was 19 years ago, and since then she has continued to learn and grow, sharing and leading students on this graceful and healing journey into heartspace. Lou’s yogic journey began as a teenager with hatha yoga, transitioned to ashtanga yoga in his early 20s and culminated in him falling in love with kundalini yoga, and becoming a teacher in 2009. Kundalini yoga introduced him to the awesome healing power of the gong, with them quickly becoming an integral part of his classes and sessions. Devi and Lou met in 2007 at a Kundalini Yoga retreat and have been working together ever since. Perfecting their craft and living their passion, they combine their love for sound healing, fasting, raw food, yoga and meditation to facilitate deep transformation and the return to harmony, ease and inner peace.

Workshop Description

The SONIC TRILOGY

Sound Healing with Paiste Planetary Gongs & Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls
Vibrate Every Cell, Breathe the Deepest Relaxation & Live Effortless Meditation – the experience of YOGA through SOUND

Experience the deepest states of relaxation and meditation by immersing in the sounds of Gongs and Singing bowls.
Bathing in these ‘sounds’ or waves of vibration, causes a shift in speed or frequency of our entire ‘being’. This is an upgrade on a cellular level, that causes transformation of the physical, emotional, mental and energetic bodies.
This ‘sonic massaging’ of all 30 trillion cells, brings vibratory alignment between our whole being, the earth and the entire universe.

SONIC TRILOGY – Part 1, the Mind & Yang ~ masculine aspect

Every journey begins with the calming of the mind, the washing away of the doubts and second-guesses. The importance of meditation is to give us that clarity, so that we may act from our ‘truth’. In this session you will experience waves of sound calming the mind and aligning the thought processes into clarity. Experience the effortless shift into slower and slower, deeper and more cosmic states of the mind: theta and delta mind states that we access easily in deep sleep.
In these deep states self-sabotaging beliefs and negative thought patterns unravel as we return to the truth of infinite possibility. This is the re-aligning of the masculine ‘chakras’: 5, 6, & 7.

SONIC TRILOGY – Part 2, the Body & Yin ~ feminine aspect

The journey continues as you soak into the song of gongs and crystal singing bowls that create sounds and tones to specifically retune the body, releasing traumas and ‘stuck’ toxic emotions on a cellular level. We focus on bringing the feminine ‘chakras’ 1, 2 & 3 back into alignment, vibrating free of old inhibiting beliefs that suppress the feminine and no longer serve humanity in this new era of respect and equality between the sexes.

SONIC TRILOGY – Part 3, the Spirit & Heart ~ sacred union aspect

Our journey’s finale – relax and be bathed in the sounds of gongs and crystal singing bowls tuned specifically to the heart’s frequency. The heart chakra’s tone or song is the sound of ‘union’ or yoga. We create a tantric sonic vortex: a toroidal field of ever-expanding, over-flowing and enveloping energy that returns the heart to openness, inviting, welcoming and inclusivity: the effortless state of love and joy.

This elevates the yoga practice and allows one to be fully present in the moment and live, breath for breath, vinyasa for vinyasa. Individuals will be able to meditate and connect within, during this gentle and mesmerizing 60 minute journey.

Breathless

Breathless is a concert inspired by desire for peace amongst all beings. It is embraced by compositions that were created to leave a musical trace in every heart. Every rhythm was pieced together for a new journey towards unconditional love. Every song has its own life and character, but still coming together beautifully as one. “The happiness of the drop is to die in the river”. Breathless is a soulful dedication to this beautiful Sufi poem, by Raghavendran Rajasekaran. We are all one, sharing a single heartbeat. Every breath taken to create a soothing note on the flute is an expression of gratitude towards our nurturing Mother Earth. The intensity of every articulation allows one to connect with a deeper sensation. Breathless takes the listeners on a gentle and mesmerizing 60 minute journey.

Workshop Description

1. Living your dreams – how to manifest your dreams and create abundance

Everyone of us harbours at least one big dream deep in our heart. Secretly hoping that one day, yes, one day, we will wake up and realise that this dream has become a reality.

Truth is, the bigger the dream, the smaller we envision our chances to see it happen. Or we believe it will be the harder
to achieve it. As a result very often we just don’t even start, and we have the perfect “reasons” – “I don’t know where to begin. I don’t have a clear plan. I don’t have the resources. I don’t think this is possible.”
It doesn’t have to be that difficult. Your dreams were given to you because you van make them true.
Learn the simple steps and change the way you think about your dreams from someone that has proven numerous times that nothing is impossible.

You will leave the lecture, armed with all the tools you need to start living the life of your dreams.

Workshop Description

Living from the Heart Space, an exploration of acceptance and permission

After a year in silent practice, I came to find that living from my heart, both in expression and connection, has become the single most powerful force of clarity, purpose, and joy in my life. I call it the Beginners Heart, a space in which you allow curiosity, surrender, trust, and absolute presence to be the defining factors of every interaction.

I have found that when you drop into this Beginners Heart, your Vision and the poetry of this moments purpose for you and OF you, begins to speak, express, and open into the world in the most brilliant and inspirational way. You begin to sing your unique song and recognize others singing in harmony with you.

Come learn to access and open the Beginners Heart within you!

The Art of a Heart Hug – Building Relationships from Love

It is not war, poverty, or disease that is crippling our nations, our countries, and our people…it is a separation consciousness, a lack of connection, heart connection, that is creating strife, scarcity, and suffering.
While the topic of this talk is the seemingly simple act of a hug…its deeper roots are in the transformation of connection between people when they let their walls down long enough to embrace one another.
This is an interactive exploration of The Hug, an embracing with abandon. We will begin by talking about what a hug really is, outside of the physical interaction – it is a moment of vulnerably trusting that you can embrace and be embraced by another.
A single hug can change YOUR world while simultaneously changing the world around you.

Asking Powerful Questions of Transformation

This is an open heart talk for people to ask me questions about love, life, self-discovery, and relationship. I will begin the talk discussing first the power of potent questions.
