Introducing our new Fridays at the Shala series, where we invite you to join us in the exploration of extended 90 minute classes which include both class types within our usual class offerings, as well as more meditative experiences. These sessions are usually scheduled once a month on Fridays at 7.15pm, and may differ in timing if it falls on a Public Holiday. Yoga Seeds members may attend these sessions with a valid pass.
Join Meiyan in an immersive Sound Bath experience, this time in a 90-minute extended practice offering space for pranayama and meditation. Sound healing is a form of vibrational medicine that helps to fine tune your system by restoring balance and activating your body’s natural healing abilities. During a Sound Bath, we initiate the Relaxation Response, allowing us to go into repair and recovery.
Beyond the usual instruments like tibetan bowls, crystal bowls and swinging chimes, this 90-minute experience will also include soundscapes from steel drums and a handpan. You may choose to practice lying down or remain in seated meditation.

About Meiyan Cheong
Meiyan specialises in both Vinyasa Flow and Yin, and enjoys guiding her students towards finding that beautiful dance between Yin (that which grounds and nourishes) and Yang (that which invigorates and uplifts) both on and off the mat. The delicate balance between holding on with control and trusting just enough to let go is a lesson she continues to work on till this day.
She has a passion for sound healing and incorporates this in her teaching and self-practice in the form of instruments, mantras and music, sometimes bringing an instrument or two into her classes for her students to enjoy the relaxing and introspective effects of sound. Music also influences her style and rhythm in a flow practice, and she enjoys creatively stringing poses together to form a moving meditation that almost resembles a dance. Her journey with yoga is rooted in the study of its philosophy, but continues to evolve in her exploration of the bhakti (devotional) path, especially with her newfound love for Kirtan (devotional singing).
As a graduate from the third batch of teachers from Yoga Seeds in 2016, Meiyan has now come full circle as part of the teacher training faculty in the hopes that the future trainees will have as meaningful and authentic an experience as she did.
Outside of yoga, she can be found out on a bike ride under the sun, coaching swimming, painting on large canvases or exploring the sea and its wonders. She also enjoys quiet time at home with her three cats, who have frequently made guest appearances in her online classes.
