ABOUT

This training is a unique experience that will prepare you to teach both 60-minute and 90-minute Hot 26 classes. You will also deepen your personal practice through the morning and evening intensives by challenging yourself physically and mentally on this truly transformative journey.

During posture clinics, we will work with a strong, effective dialogue of direct and accessible cues to lead students safely through this life-changing yoga series. You will learn about basic anatomy and alignment, and acquire all knowledge related to the 26 postures to become a caring and professional yoga teacher.

Training is taught in Chinese and English.

Topics covered include yoga etiquette, basic anatomy, effective dialogue, posture alignment, safe adjustments, classroom teaching techniques and modifications that are related to the yoga system.

Almen Wong
Almen, the first Bikram-trained teacher in Hong Kong, introduced hot yoga to the city. She transformed from a strict teacher to one who embraces light-heartedness and fun, thanks to Baron Baptiste. Influenced by Paul Grilley and David Swenson, she developed a deep understanding of anatomy, Yin Yoga, and flexible Ashtanga Yoga practices. Her engaging classes emphasise alignment, foundational strength, and revisiting basics for advancing practice.
