As a practitioner of yoga, there might come the time where you also want to bring your diet into greater alignment with who you are. You are what you eat – is that true?

Sneak Peak

• Conventional vs. organic farmed
• Raw vs cooked food
• Vegetarian vs. Non-vegetarian
• Energy = Vibration= The real nourishment

Getting Rebelicious with Jason Moriarty

We will take a look at re-connecting your brain to your body. This training session will inject some of the fun back into exercise, the stuff gyms took.

Exercise does not have to hardwork or boring. We will walk, run, jump, throw things, balance on things and maybe climb a few things. Getting back to the functional movements and having fun like it used to be when we were kids.

You don't need a gym membership or expensive equipment to train. In fact that may be counter productive as most equipment is designed to isolate the muscle to one singular sterile movement. Your body doesn't work like that. It works in multiple directions using many different muscles to produce pain free movement patterns. 

All you need is your body and some creative fun with the natural environment.

Jason Moriarty, A rebellious conditioning coach who questions all we hold true in health and fitness and finds it lacking. He dislikes working out, but loves to have fun with movement. He believes we have simple been doing it wrong and "gyms are bad for your health and soul". The food pyramid and hitting the gym 3 times a week has failed. We need a new approach. With 20 years of working with athletes from Golf to Motor Sports, weekend heros to soccer moms and even the hit TV show The Biggest Loser Asia. He has distilled it all into short, fun and effective routines.

Bernard Loh is a lawyer by profession and has been in legal practice for 16 years. He is also an ACE qualified Personal Trainer. 

For many years Bernard had been overweight, stressed and was suffering from high blood pressure as well as unhealthy cholesterol levels. Driven to find solutions, Bernard came across Healthpoint which helped him to regain his health quickly.

Today Bernard is a strong advocate of healthy living and is the co-founder of the Perfect Fit Team, the premier weight management coaching team which operates in Malaysia, Singapore and within the region. 

Bernard has in the past few years coached many people in various countries to regain their health, trains and develop new coaches and regularly speaks to audiences within this region on health, obesity and other related topics. Bernard has also been invited to appear on national radio and television to speak on similar topics.

 Ignite Your Inner Core in Pilates with James

James will be highlighting the 5 Basic Principles of Pilates – Breathing, Pelvic Stability, Shoulder Stability, Ribcage and Neck alignment.  He will be offering a series of exercises targeting on common issues such as core strengthening, back care, scoliosis management and slipped disc. He will also be explaining the human body anatomy and the alignment of a neutral posture.

This workshop can vastly target on yoga practitioners, sportsmen who looks for wellness education in their daily practices. James combines his Pilates learning and techniques to improve into yoga practices as well.

James will be demonstrating the use of props such as the flex band, stability ball, and more.

James Wong is a Certified Stott Pilates Trainer with comprehensive knowledge in Pilates methodology, exercises and equipment on Injury and Special Population, Scoliosis Management, Back care management & Prenatal and Postnatal. James has adopted the understanding and learning of Pilates for more than 10 years during his tertiary education in Melbourne; even before Pilates was introduced in Malaysia.

James teaches both Pilates group classes at fitness centers and also private sessions as well. 

Pilates is still very infant in the Malaysian market; but the numbers of certified pilates teachers are growing in these recent years; however not as many as the outgrowned Yoga society. Over the years, James has worked closely with Chiropractors and Physiotherapist on specific case studies, which he profoundly finds interest in Scoliosis Management which he, reckons many Malaysians are lacking in knowledge. Back in New Zealand, & Australia, students in schools were provided postural analysis in school to detect scoliosis symptoms at an early stage.

He has been providing 1-day anatomical researches and education learning workshops to adults and parents of growing up children on Scoliosis Management where he explains the severity of how scoliosis can lead to the child’s growing up years. James’ continues to learn and grow himself in this field of studies where he attends yearly workshops from accredited recognized Pilates schools.
