We know the mind and body are both sacred tools for enlightenment. To achieve inner peace and joy there must be a strong and balanced connection between the two. Before we can cultivate a still mind, the body must first be freed and released of any stagnant energies.
Hence, I invite you to join me on an exhilarating, liberating journey of Moving Meditations! Together we shall celebrate the healing wonders of breath, sound, meditation and movement as one powerful unit! A deep clearing of mind, body, soul and spirit is further empowered as we assist each other with our intentions. Everyone is warmly welcomed, no experience is necessary at all. Just open your heart plus your mind and abandon yourself to the sheer magic of our group energy!
头脑和身体是帮助我们开悟的圣神工具。只有当头脑和身体亲密、平衡地链接着我们才能享受内心的喜悦和平静。然而在培养宁静的头脑之前,我们得先放松并释放掉身体中的停滞的能量。
因此我邀请你一起与我踏上动感冥想振奋、释出的美妙旅途!我们将一起庆祝呼吸、声音、冥想和动作奇妙的治疗潜能。同时我们将以一个强大的集体加强共同的意图进行心灵、身体、灵魂的深透净化。我们欢迎所有人的参与,任何经历都不需要。你只需要敞开你的心扉和头脑,尽情投入并享受奇妙的集体能量!
Some students share their thoughts 学生的分享+感想:-
“Please tell Josephine thank you for her wonderful workshop, I slept so well that night. I thought the fact that I do Yoga sometimes helped me during the workshop. It was more effective. The thing I learned from the workshop was that if you let your body moves as it needs, the body itself will maintain the balance and be more natural. I feel that everyday life won’t allow us to be very natural.
I was thinking such thing during the WS, even Josephine told us to NOT think….
Thanks again to her and I would love to see her again.”
A student who attended the Moving Meditation Workshop at Tokyo Mellow Beaute Yoga Studio, Japan
“请代我感谢Jo引导的美妙工作坊,我当晚睡得非常香甜。由于我平常练习瑜伽,在工作坊中觉得很有帮助和更有效。我在工作坊中发现要是我们彻底放松并让身体自由地活动,身体自然会更加平衡、舒服和自在。日常生活通常不让我们自由,因此这是一个让自己和身体放松的好方法。虽然Jo一直提醒我们不要去思考,我还是不断的有这些想法。我非常感谢她的教导并希望再见到她。”
来自于一位参加动感冥想工作坊的日本东京学生
“Josephine was very nice in her yoga. Dynamic meditation class was good for deep emotional release.”
Mrs. Sanjeeta Chatterjee, India
“Jo的瑜伽学问资深 。动感冥想课程有效地助于深层的情绪释放,感觉非常好。” 来自于一位参加动感冥想课的印度女士

Memories from Mantra Chanting & Healing Circle sessions on 11.11.11
疗愈曼陀罗唱诵+能量治疗圈的回忆




Regardless of who you are, when you are reading this, where you are, what you are doing, remember that you are never alone. Regardless of how you feel and whatever the history of your life story is, we are reminded of just how intimately connected we are to each other. Your laughter, my sorrow, his anxiety, her doubts and so much more – we feel each other’s experiences as it is reflected deep within ourselves. As with the warmth of the Sun, the flow of the Rivers and Seas, the majesty of the Mountains, the grounding of the Land – we hear, breathe and move with the pulse of the Earth. Ultimately, we are the children of the Earth, the souls of this Universe in this lifetime.
You are invited to join in our Group Meditation and Healing Circle on 11.11.11. The number 1 represent new beginnings, new energies, fresh start and unlimited potential. Come join us on this special day as we combine our energies to chant, meditation and heal together as one powerful, joyful entity.
Although your physical self may be at another corner of the world, your mind and spirit can nevertheless tune in to the healing frequencies of our meditation. You can participate through your intention and sincerity, sending peace and healing prayers to yourself, loved ones, anyone who may appreciate these prayers, all living creatures, the Earth, the Universe.
Privileged as we are, we have been given so many opportunities to repeatedly utilize the powerful energies of this extraordinary day. Throughout this day, I encourage you to say some short prayers or send healing energies at these times (according to your local time):- 11.11am, 1.11pm, 11.11pm, 1.11am. If you are occupied with other duties and unable to participate at these times, you can always set your prayers and healing intentions to be ‘released’ and ‘kick start’ at these influential times (the same principles of setting an alarm).
Never underestimate the power of your intentions. Create the life you want and be your powerful self! Let us combine our intentions and heal all!
Love, light and healing to you,
JO

A Balanced Program
Specialists in their own field of yoga, Kasia Wilkos (Iyengar) and Jo Ong (Yin) present two full steam intensive workshops for students who want to shift their practice to another level of skill and understanding.
Each workshop comprises of two balanced sessions, one morning (Iyengar) and one afternoon (Yin). Both session will safely and systematically progress each student’s ability, skill and understanding.
Intelligent and appropriate sequencing with precise use of language and individual correction are the ingredients that make these intensive workshops so exhilarating and deeply transformative. Workshops like these are designed to compliment and boost your regular practice.
What is Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga is Hatha Yoga. The method focuses on developing strength, endurance and optimal body alignment, in addition to flexibility and relaxation. Standing poses are emphasized at the beginning to build strength and ease of movement, increase vitality, improve circulation, coordination and balance. Postures for deep relaxation are also introduced from the beginning. Gradually, sitting and reclining postures, forward bends, inversions, backbends, twists, arm balances and flowing sequences are introduced.
People tend to stretch from their more flexible areas and rely on their better-developed muscles for strength, thus reinforcing postural habits. Iyengar Yoga encourages weak parts to strengthen and stiff areas to release, awakening and realigning the whole body. As the body moves into better alignment, less muscular work is required and relaxation increases naturally.
Props, such as bolsters, blocks, and straps, are used to facilitate learning and adjust poses to individual needs. Props help all practitioners (including the most advanced) gain sensitivity to the use of effort and receive the deep benefits of postures held for longer periods of time. Props are introduced from the beginning for students with specific physical limitations and gradually in regular classes to enhance personal understanding and to develop skill and confidence.
Unique Aspects of Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar yoga has the unique aspects of correct technique, proper sequencing and longer duration in poses. Technique involves proper alignment and fine adjustments. Proper sequencing ensures that students are correctly and safely prepared to progress their practice. And the longer holds in poses improve stability and depth, making the practice more effective and beneficial.
What is Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues such as ligaments, bones and joints of the body that normally are not exercised much in more active styles of yoga. It considered to be “yoga for the joints, not the muscles”. All Yin Yoga poses are passive and each is held for 1-15 minutes.
Connective tissues play an important role in the determination of ‘range of motion’. Yin Yoga targets these connective tissues, especially tendons and ligaments in the spine, pelvis and other joints.
To lengthen connective tissue in Yin Yoga, a practitioner holds poses for some minutes. This applies tension and stress to the connective tissues and muscles in the targeted region. Muscles are elastic so they respond immediately and lengthen to their limit. Once the muscle stretches fully, the stress is continued to the connective tissues, which are not elastic and cannot lengthen immediately. In order to lengthen them, they need to be stressed for several more minutes.
The Magic of Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga gets its name from the Taoist concept of Yin. In some circles it is considered to be the oldest form of Hatha Yoga since it is the ideal method of physical conditioning for prolonged meditation.
The intensity and physical benefits of the practice depend on two variables: duration in the pose and the temperature of the muscles. If the muscles are cold, they will be less elastic and more stress will be transferred to the connective tissue. It is, therefore, often recommended to do Yin Yoga earlier in the day before the muscles are warm, however, it is also extremely soothing and calming to practice after a long day. Both options work.

Change is inevitable.
The question is, how do we respond to change? Are we flexible and courageous enough to allow change? Are we present enough to observe when change is happening? There is suffering if we don’t adapt ourselves to change. Change is also transformation – something old, stagnant and unnecessary dies to make way for a fresh beginning.
Yoga and Energy Healing are powerful, transformative tools to help us on the journey of Self Inquiry, healing, knowledge that helps sharpen our adaptability to change.
If you don’t want or not ready for change, these practices are not recommended. If you are open to change, if you are indeed very interested in Self Inquiry, to have a balanced quality of life, to have a harmonious lifestyle with yourself, others and your surroundings, or simply just curious – wait no more and start practicing now. You will be surprised where these practices will take you.
‘Shantih’ means peace, ‘shala’ means school in the Sanskrit language. Shantih Shala Holistic Arts is an open, creative junction that welcomes all. We encourage you to learn, share and live your journey with us. Together we shall explore and enjoy the marvelous wonders of Yoga, Meditation, Energy Healing, Reiki, Self Inquiry, Ayurveda, Music, Art, Massage, Counseling and Dance. Bring an open heart, an expansive mind and enjoy the experience!
