Presenting Jason Moriarty: Yoga Spirit Festival Malaysia 2014 Teacher Line Up


Jason Moriarty. A rebellious conditioning coach, 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 simply been doing it wrong “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 over 20 years in the business working with athletes from Golf to Motor Sport, weekend hero’s to soccer mom’s and even the hit show Asia’s Biggest looser. He has distilled it all into short, fun, effective routines.

Jason has developed a number of unique concepts helping people find the fun in exercise. These include a Ladies Only Gym, Rebel Boot Camp and Tattoos and Tofu a fitness programme aimed at teenagers. Fit to Lead, and the Health Shift Programme.

Class with Jason at the Yoga Spirit Festival Malaysia, 11th & 12th Oct 2014:


The 8 Minute Lifestyle 

From listening to thousands of people who tried to get healthy only to fall off. Jason realized they were doing far too much far too soon. Radical changes in your lifestyle habits rarely make sense and rarely last. People stop smoking, stop boozing, dump the junk food and start running 5 km a day and hitting the gym 3 times a week.

Within a couple of weeks this is all gone and the old habits are back. With his “8 Minute LifestyleJason looks at the 3 reasons people fail:

1. The “Rocky Balboa” Mind Game
2. The Deprive Strive
3. The Extremist Catch

The Changes required to make succeed:

1. Recognize that fitness is not isolated to your body.
2. Recognize that consistency beats intensity hands down.

All delivered with a fair amount of humor, science and common sense. Jason incorporates, yoga, strength and conditioning and meditation to his programme. It only takes 8 Minutes a day to achieve success.

Presenting Balraj Pannu: Yoga Spirit Festival Malaysia 2014 Teacher Line Up

Balraj Pannu’s passion is to empower you with all the natural options available to connect and grow your relationship with your inner intelligence.

Balraj read law at Keble College, Oxford University. After a few years practising law at the most profitable law firm in England (in their London and Hong Kong offices) he felt the void and decided to do something useful. He retired from law an­d decided to visit India to see what the big fuss is about meditation.

He ended up staying in India a year and a half longer than expected. There he lived in Rishikesh, the Yoga Capital of India and the last town before the Himalayans mountains start. As things go, he found himself volunteering at a Meditation Research Institute acting as intermediary between scientists from US and European universities and the Himalayan Yogis who maintained amazing meditation disciplines. With his legal background, he tried to navigate both parties’ requirements as he looked for answers to his own questions. Destiny then made him a Kundalini Yoga teacher.

Balraj is now completely convinced of the bodymind’s inner intelligence. Our bodies always send us signals on what is good and bad for us. However, we have adopted a culture of ignoring these important signals. After a while the bodymind stops sending signals and this loss of intelligence, this faint change of vibrations in the quantum field, present itself as an illness or as part of the aging process. Fortunately, this process can be reversed and you can be in complete harmony with your inner intelligence.

Conscious living. It’s not a movement. It’s just the way it is now.


Classes with Balraj at the Yoga Spirit Festival Malaysia, 11th & 12th Oct 2014:


Kundalini Yoga 

Kundalini Yoga has many different sets (Kriyas) for different results, for example Kriya for: Lungs and Circulation, Strengthening the Aura or Pituitary Gland Series.

This class is to allow you to explore a variety of techniques and results that are part of ancient yoga history, but have been mostly side-lined in recent centuries. Just like the various Tai Chi, Chi Gong and Kung Fu in China, Yoga in India grew in different directions at different times. Allow yourself to experience the powerful variety of kriya options and fun through music and dance available under Kundalini Yoga.
