Power Core Flow

yogaś-citta-vṛtti-nirodhaḥ … yoga is cessation of the mind.

This practice will challenge you physically as well as mentally, taking you through a strong fluid practice that reminds you of the breath and centre that supports you. It requires that you still the mind and get deeper into each asana with breath…an unfolding of a deeper understanding of your own inner power …ON and OFF the mat. No water to be taken during the flow but do bring a towel and a mat. This flow will challenge your balance, your strength, your flexibility and more importantly connects your mind, body and soul

Patanjali's Plate: Yogi(ni)'s Nourishment in the 21st Century 

with Elke

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?

In this 60 minute talk, Elke, a yoga practitioner herself, will give you lots of food for thoughts, facts, and insights around nutrition to bring more clarity in this very controversial subject, and thus helping you making conscious choices. 

Sneak Peak

• Energy = Vibration= The real nourishment

Elke Wollschon, a German native, is a trained bio-laboratory technician and went into sales and marketing early on. After working in this field for over 16 years, she started her entrepreneurial career by setting up an ice plant in West Africa. In the year 2000 she moved to Malaysia, where she established and operated for many years “Pay Less Books”, a successful English second hand book business.

Being involved in alternative healing and lifestyle for more than 3 decades and curing herself from life threatening asthma, led her to follow her calling and change careers once again. She is now a passionate lifestyle and relationship coach and one of the forerunners of “The Raw Food Movement” in Malaysia, who has been featured in The Expatriate, Le Connoisseur, NST, Star, Flavours, FHM, BFM, TV2 and more.

She also conducts “Raw Food” workshops, gives talks about health and environment related topics and writes articles. Her 7-day signature program “Detox and Rejuvenate with Life Food” is running frequently from various locations.

Her vision is helping people awakening to their full potential, empowering them to create a thriving life and a world they want to belong to.

Her work is a unique combination of knowledge and rich experience, paired with lots of heart and compassion to foster true transformation.
