Introduction to Universal Yoga

Get ready to move, sweat and explore your edge. This special 90-minute Friday session introduces Universal Yoga, a dynamic and physically engaging approach to yoga built around multi-directional movement, strength, coordination and mindful awareness.

We’ll begin with 15 minutes of introduction and sharing with Henry, offering an overview of the Universal Yoga method and what makes this practice distinct. This is followed by 75 minutes of Universal Yoga, with a dynamic cross-mat layout that takes us beyond the familiar front-to-back orientation of a yoga class.

Henry teaches with passion, precision and intensity, encouraging students to work with focus, explore their limits and discover their own potential.

Expect to explore:

- Dynamic, energetic movement

- Strength, mobility and coordination

- Balance, stability and body awareness

- Multi-directional movement and spatial awareness

- New movement patterns that challenge the familiar

- Opportunities to explore your personal edge and build confidence in your practice

This is an energetic, physically engaging practice — come ready to move, explore your edge and enjoy the challenge.

About Henry

Henry was first introduced to yoga back in 2008, but resumed regular practice in 2013 to recover from a knee injury. When he discovered that yoga is much more than just a rehabilitation tool or physical exercise, he decided to dive deep into yoga to understand how it works.

Henry completed his first teacher training in July 2014, followed by Universal Yoga Teacher Training created by world-renowned yogi and lama, Andrey Lappa, just 3 months later. He is currently one of the few active Universal Yoga teachers in Singapore who keeps to original tradition with regular pilgrimages to Nepal for continued learning. A lifelong student of yoga, Henry has studied other yoga lineages such as Ashtanga, Jivamukti, Forrest, and Dharma Yoga. Henry is also trained in Bodywork Yoga, a unique Myofascial release and Structural Deep-Tissue massage developed by Brian Campbell, to relieve physical and emotion tension and pain, among other therapeutic benefits.

As an experienced IT manager, presenter and trainer, Henry incorporates clarity and precision in his yoga classes, breaking down complex concepts systematically into easy-to-understand instructions. Henry's strong and dynamic classes focus on a complete practice - working through postures, breathwork, and internal energetics (prana or Qi), to bring the mind and body into perfect harmony - making it accessible to everyone.

Henry is grateful to all his teachers in his yoga journey and wants to share his love for yoga with as many people as possible, in the same way his teachers have done for him, to bring about positive change in the world.

Outside of yoga, Henry spends a good part of his day writing computer programs - but he isn't your typical geek. When he isn't spending hours writing code and managing IT projects, he can be found skiing overseas, playing soccer, doing strength training in the gym, and marathon running.
