This session is part of our Fridays at the Shala series, created for a deeper exploration of the practice. These monthly 90-minute classes extend familiar styles, offering more time to move and explore, or move beyond asana into more unique practices and meditative work. Held once a month on Fridays at 7.15pm, with slight timing adjustments on Public Holidays. Yoga Seeds members may attend with any valid pass.
Let the evening hold what the week has gathered.
By the end of the week, the body can feel full in ways that are hard to name.
Full from doing.
Full from holding.
Full from moving through the days without much time to settle.
Yin Yang for Gratitude & Grounding is a 90-minute practice inspired by the Earth element, the end-of-summer season, and the quiet fullness of the August moon.
The first half of the practice begins with grounding, centering, and Surya Bhedana — right nostril breathing — before moving into a slow, breath-led Yang flow. The movement will be steady and unhurried, giving the body warmth, circulation, and a place to arrive.
The second half softens with cooling breathwork, with Sitkari Pranayama and Chandra Bhedana, before settling into longer-held Yin postures. Here, the body is invited to release slowly, without forcing, as the nervous system begins to calm down.
We will close with Savasana and a short guided gratitude meditation.
Not a practice to do more.
A practice to return to what is already steady beneath the week.

About Kimberly Kwa
Kim began practising yoga in 2008 as a means to rehabilitate both body and mind, and in the process found strength, mindfulness and self-compassion. Following multiple burnouts after years in the performing arts and education sectors, she set out to break the cycle of chronic stress. Initially enrolling in a 200hr Yoga Teacher Training with Yoga Seeds to deepen her own practice, she unexpectedly found herself teaching and hasn’t looked back since. Kim has since completed additional training in various styles, and is also certified in Yoga Therapy, Sports Massage, and Functional Range Conditioning (FRC).
Rooted in self-awareness and presence, Kim’s teaching encourages tuning in to breath, sensation, and intuitive movement—or stillness—over chasing complex postures. Her sessions reflect a deep respect for the body’s natural intelligence. Drawing from her background in therapeutic bodywork and FRC, she creates space for grounded, embodied experiences.
Kim volunteers with and coordinates activities for Pay What You Wish (PWYW) Yoga SG, one of the Karma Yoga Projects under Yoga Seeds. She is also currently pursuing qualifications in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), further expanding her integrative approach to wellness—blending evidence-based tools with the holistic wisdoms of yoga. She is passionate about empowering others to build sustainable, authentic practices that support their everyday lives.
A self-identified indoor cat, Kim enjoys cosy afternoons at home with a cup of chai, getting lost in a good fiction-read, and caring for her plants (that are definitely alive and well!)
