Yoga Gala
KITEC Sat May 26-Sun May 27
Masters and yogis from around the world ‘bent it like Beckham’ on May 26 and May 27 as they warrior posed for the first-ever Hong Kong International Yoga Gala. With workshops geared towards skill building and competitions – with prizes worth thousands of dollars – it was a jam-packed two days at KITEC. Masters showed off their moves at the opening ceremony, which included some serious pretzel-like action as they twisted their bodies into the shape of the salty snack. Spectators looked on with awe. The competitors also flaunted their yoga skills, chanted and took part in vinyasa contests.
Participants not vying for top honours weren’t left out of the programme either. We were treated to a wide range of classes – from breathing exercises to the power of transformation. There was something on offer for every yoga enthusiast. The programme was organised by the Hong Kong Yoga Association and was conducted in Cantonese and English. Oh, and we signed off with the customary salutation… namaste. Of course.
