Duangta(Thailand)

Duangta first practice Yoga because she was suffering pain at the back of the neck, shoulders and back from muscle stresses, sometimes so severe that she could not turn her body left or right and a have a drop in one shoulder and a deep aching pain starting from the neck to the shoulders and arms and end at the waist, a classic symptom for a person sitting hours for hours day in day out in front of a computer. A visit to the doctor provides occasional relieve of pain and this routine went on for several years. A closed friend then suggested the way of Yoga.

Duangta began with Hatha Yoga which she practiced by herself learning from Hatha Yoga self taught book for about three years. Then while on her work assignment to China, she was most fortunate to receive instructions in Ashtanga Yoga. The sessions were eyes opening to her into the world of Yoga and sufficient for her to resign from work and traveled to India and studied Yoga in traditional style for about six months. There, she learned the many art of Yoga such as yoga therapy and Yogasana which dealt with on how to correct and balance in each asana, breathing control and correct use of muscle for each asana.

Duangta received certificate in instruction in Ashtanga Yoga from Mysore Mandala Yogashala, Mysore India.

Duangta is the one of dedicated ashtanga practitioner. By supporting from Fine-yoga, she went to New Zealand for joining the TTC with John Scott.  During one month with the very intensive practice guiding by John and Lucy scott, Duanga had studied more about the core strength, strong & safe adjustment and proper alignment of each asana.  Besides, Duangta also studied more about the awareness during the practice and how to facilitate and manage the development of her students, more sensitive to the individual needs of her students.

Duangta classes are vary depending on the students present and ranges from gentle explorative movement to more dynamic Ashtanga influenced vinyasa.   Strong attention is given to movement, breath, alignment, visualization and intention, yet she is able to infuse a sense of humour while challenging you to work to your own edge.
Duangta also runs the meditation class on every Sunday at 10.00 am. The class will focus on watching the breath and prepare the mind for the meditation. It’s also good for the ashtanga practitioner.
