Happiness comes in many shapes and forms. Of course external things can make you happy. And we as yogis (or anyone over 35) all know that real happiness comes from within. But long lasting happiness comes from the positive transformation that happens within oneself. And I was lucky enough to witness that in 21 aspiring #yogateachers in my #mentorshipworkshop at @fivelementshabitats over the weekend. • This workshop isn’t about how to do a handstand, a deep backbend or a crow pose. But it’s really about a common thread that links all these poses or powerful yoga teaching together: confidence and a belief that everything is possible if you put your mind to it. Do or not do, there’s no try. Proactively creating opportunities for yourself so that in any situation, you can thrive as a yoga teacher, so that your students and client can thrive with you. • This is not the end. It is just a beginning of a great future in yoga teaching and practice - if you work hard, are willing to innovate and make a change in your thought pattern. • Can’t wait to see you all rise and shine! Now, go out and teach, and inspire more people you come across. • Thank you @reebiesw @delia.indrayoga @doris.ay @yogaroomhk @maynogoy for sharing your wisdom and @benyamphotography for your photos. • Big thanks to @clesign_eco_art for gifting every new teacher a new yoga mat, and @vitacocohk for hydrating everyone over the weekend. • If you miss this two-day transformative workshop for yoga teachers, the next one is on Nov 21-22. Pre-registration has already started and it’s already half full. More info on link in my bio. (at Fivelements) https://www.instagram.com/p/CBfWj5Qj3xJ/?igshid=1nhfwiynzdtte

Sometimes knowing your limits and be ok with it can be very empowering. • Doing some #kettlebellworkout and realised that it was too heavy for my own good. What to do? Have a laugh, and enjoy some good music. Persevere. You’ll get stronger every day. • Thank you for the music 🎧 @headphonesbyadidas @streetvalue, for keeping me motivated during my workout. • Use promocode “Victorchauyoga” at check out while purchasing headphones by Adidas at www.streetvalue.asia to enjoy an exclusive 15% discount. • #victorchauyoga #workout #training #bestrong #sweatlife #kettlebell #kettlebellswings #adidashk #RPT-01. • 📸 by @hikeman_terry https://www.instagram.com/p/CBDh8BCjC3y/?igshid=spwam0aaug4x

Feeling powerful because I empower myself through hiking, 🧘🏾‍♂️ and the ☀️. • People often associate #backbends with flexibility especially in the back. But did you know you need strong legs to do a deep and solid backbend? • Learn how to empower yourself in my #EmpoweredFlow 200-hour #yogattc at @yogaroomhk in Aug, Sep and Oct (3 modules) 2020. Early bird ending next week and only a few spots left now.

My own interpretation of #betweentwoferns 🌱. • Can anyone spot the difference between the two #inversions? (Swipe left). Just don’t say it’s the filter and lighting 😆. • 📸 by @jennifer.qian in @fivelementshabitats (at Fivelements) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAkdIFOjHiz/?igshid=1i6vmi2kv4rzg

Balance usually lies on a fine line and only through constant yoga practice then can someone find it. • Sharing my love of #yoga #inversions and #hollowbackpincha with yoga teachers and students at @fivelementshabitats. • Check out my #instastory for my daily updates on #howto if you haven’t already. • What Inversions are you working on? Leave a comment below and I’ll make a video to help you ;) • 📸 by @jennifer.qian, accompanied by @amanda_wxm @lozwong @east_spider @nininicolechan @annasyfan (at Fivelements) https://www.instagram.com/p/CAaSe44DKIx/?igshid=sb10y2jjiu3

The longer I teach, the less I want to focus on myself and the more I want to focus on my students. • Recently I got to know @annasyfan and she has a tremendous amount of dedication to the study and learning of yoga. It is really inspiring and humbling to watch her improve and overcome self doubt with determination and a willingness to try. Yes she would still fall down - but when she gets back up, it’s always with a smile and a deeper understanding of her body and herself. • Am privileged to be alongside your yogic path. • #studentsprogress #yogainspiration #annafanyoga #victorchauyoga (at Victoria Park 維多利亞公園) https://www.instagram.com/p/CASd7GdDSZ_/?igshid=o36ovde8g6fk

From a family of four, to a family of six. Social distancing means we couldn’t celebrate your (@louisalo2000 and @samanman) birthdays and Mother’s Day. But here we are, honouring your youth, beauty, love and hard work for bringing us up, and of course the very 80’s swimsuit 🩱. • Happy Mother’s Day @louisalo2000 💓💓💓 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAA1QL0DEac/?igshid=8hivfpzsnmhe

Never underestimate the power of a humble towel. From wiping your sweat, connecting your hands and/or to your feet, covering your eyes to increasing friction, its uses are countless. In this case of #urdhvakukkutasana, it helps me improve the grip between my knees and my armpits - think how slippery it gets when you mix sweat and sunscreen. 😂 • If want to try this, make sure you have a solid #padmasana #fulllotus, and a good #tripodheadstand to #crowpose transition. As in all #armbalances, it’s all about the shifting of body weight. So move your weight as far forward as you can, while keeping your belly sucked in. • Understand your body and use it intelligently and according to the laws of physics. When coupled with breath, your yoga practice will become effortless. • What are the poses that really inspire you and you’ll keep coming back to them?
