Chair and Wall Yoga
16, 23, 30 Oct | 9.30am-10.45am | River Valley
Using a yoga chair and the wall for support during practice can not only provide the security that one needs, but it can also help deepen normally challenging poses. Some believe that practising yoga with these props will be very simple but the refinements and feedback provided by the props can be the key to unlocking your potential in certain advanced poses. Give this a try and challenge your mind to shift in such a practice.
Suitable for everyone.
Yin Yoga & Myofascial Release for Tight Bodies
9 Nov 2024 | 2.30pm-4.00pm | River Valley
Muscle stiffness are often experienced from intense activities, inertia, sudden or repetitive strain, postural habits, amongst many reasons. In this special, Elaine will explore some of the common tension or trigger points and learn how to alleviate some of those tension via self massage (a.k.a. myofascial release) techniques and passive Yin stretches.
Suitable for everyone, especially athletes.
Tibetan Bowls Healing & Meditation
26 Oct | 1.30pm-2.45pm | River Valley
Tibetan Bowls Meditation and Healing is a powerful practice that can bring one’s mind into a theta state. There will be gentle movements and stretches to ease the body into receiving. A deep sense of relaxation will be evoked with the sound bath. Allow the mind to be restored towards peace and calm.
Suitable for everyone.
Waking Up Sleepy Glutes
24 & 25 Oct | Various timings | Both studios
‘Gluteal sleepiness’ happens when the muscles in your rear become so weak from inactivity they seem to forget how to function, i.e. they fail or become slow to activate. Sluggish glutes can result in other muscles and joints, especially in the lower back and knees, picking up the slack and causing discomfort over time.
In this special, Vera will share how to assess whether you have ‘sleepy glutes’, and if so, how to wake them up with suitable exercises.
Gentle Yoga & Sound Bath
2 Nov | 1.00pm-2.30pm | River Valley
A sound bath is a meditative experience where you are “bathed” in sound waves. These waves are produced by healing instruments such as gongs, singing bowls, percussion, chimes, rattles and tuning forks. The sound bath experience will be done after easing the body’s tension out in gentle movements and stretches. This is a luxurious and rejuvenating practice for anyone.
Suitable for everyone.

Reviews About Us
ExcellentBased on 34 reviewsG Y2024-04-02Despite not having been practicing yoga for many years, I signed up for the Yoga Holiday to Hualien led by Li Ling and returned with having accomplished the mission of putting mindfulness skills to daily practice. The program was well-structured, enough time not just for yoga (x2 daily) but also for quiet time. I really appreciated the pace of yoga and meditation sessions that Li Ling led. Her thoughtfulness and leading the group with such ease and grace made the trip all the more memorable.Angelina Low2024-04-02My first going for a Yoga Retreat with KPY. It is an awesome mindfulness yoga retreat. Through the encouraging guidance by Li Ling, I got in touch with myself and learnt how to breathe to relax. The entire group was very welcoming and friendly. I could practice at my own pace and build confidence in what I can do. Grateful for my friend Foong Meng who brought me along. Grateful for the friendship with the group.TseWei Ho2024-04-01Joined KPY Holiday to Hualien at Chu Resort and had a fabulous time. Nice resort with great facilities for Yogis. Great planning which balanced good amount of yoga practice, me time, rest time, social time and also some exploration of local sights.Amritha Shetty2024-04-01Just went on a lovely KPY yoga retreat.. at Chu Resort in Hualien, Taiwan.. was a great experience- 4 days 6 sessions of yoga… being in nature.. light hiking at Taroko Gorge - the other open minded friendly yogis..and Li Ling’s thoughtful planning all made this a great yoga retreat! 😊Koon Sing2023-07-30Started my yoga practice with KPY since 8 years ago. This is a safe space as they offer ‘Yoga for Normal People’. I get to practise at my own pace and no one will judge. Highly recommend this cosy studio to everyone.Georgin Lau2023-07-29yoga for normal people is exactly what Kate Porter Yoga is about. It’s the only studio I go to and I enjoy the mindful practices that the teacher guides us through.Eleanor Ng2023-07-29Kate Porter lives up to its promise of Yoga for Normal People. I've attended classes here with different instructors over the years and there are always instructions to cater for different levels and also physical concerns such as old injuries. The East Coast studio is a lovely place. No air-conditioning but the studio is well-ventilated with natural light. This is welcoming space regardless of whether you're a beginner or experienced.Summer Choo2023-07-26No judgement, no frills, no mirrors. KPY has this safe environment where yoga can be practiced according to your pace and state of mind. I leave each session walking taller, feeling lighter and refreshed!Peg Chong2023-07-26I’m into my 6th year at KPY East Coast. It has really helped me in my post-retirement journey to grow strong & flexible. It has an easy comfortable feel, making everyone welcome. The trainers are excellent, always taking the time to get to know the students as many of us come with conditions like stiff shoulders, knee pain & more. And then provide alternatives to standard poses plus advice to address the problem areas. On top of that they are tremendously kind & generous.
