Hard work & fun in yoga comes in a pair,
just like how yoga is meant to be shared!

Happy International Yoga Day to all!!

Together, we help spread and share our experience with yoga and witness the growth of the yoga community. Let this practice create space for more clarity, courage, and compassion in your life and the society.

Never forget that you have the power to choose and make an impact in someone’s life.

While much of contemporary yoga is known for bringing flexibility and a degree of acrobatic athleticism into the realm of possibility for the “average” person, it is important to recognise that true mastery of a tricky posture involves considerable technical understanding. For instance, it is one thing to kick up into a handstand against a wall and quite another to gracefully lift into the postures in the middle of the room and lower again with equanimity. Tripsichore technique addresses this matter from a standpoint of both physical and mental control as well as endeavouring to put the nature of this control into a broad philosophical perspective.

Renowned for its physical difficulty, Tripsichore technique is also concerned with the intellectual reasons for attempting material that is physically demanding. While Tripsichore is known for choreographically spectacular asanas, it is equally concerned with what the mind does to create these shapes. The Tripsichore techniques require the full engagement of breath, mind, and body and because of this, there occurs a well-developed awareness of what the practitioner experiences in the present moment.

Limited spots available. DM or WhatsApp us to register.

Simple is not simple.

You have to put in more effort to make something appear effortless. This is a message that rings true in the world these days where many want to achieve something high level in a short amount of time.

Effortless, elegant performances are often the result of a large volume of hard-work and effortful practice. What a gem to the yoga world when we are able to be in the presence of highly a experienced teacher and high level practitioner such as Edward himself who has hone his craft for over 40 years. His insight in the practice and refined methods is a testament that beauty and grace comes from the direct experience and practice one has put forth over a pro-longed period of time.

TRIPSICHORE SENSUAL IMMERSION: Aesthetics & Physical Philosophy
1-5 May (wed - sun)
10am - 4pm

DM for more information.

Tripsichore Master Class with Edward Clark in March 2-3!! 😍

Tripsichore classes involve the exploration of material that some consider “advanced”, but the substance of what is studied is about how to approach difficult material in ways that increase your understanding of technique and seeks to give meaning to your yoga practice. It is about learning how to do things you can’t already do…as well as appreciating how to improve and refine the material you are close to mastering.

This session is perfect for anybody interested to experience what a Tripsichore Vinyasa class entails. As the title implies, we will be exploring the fundamental Tripsichore Vinyasa sequences and breathing technique with much detail. Then we progress into the more multifaceted sequences which includes inversions, backbends, arm balances and drop backs (to name a few) while Edward provides his insight and guidance into the intricacies of the practice.

The classes are vinyasa and this means that there is a strong emphasis on exact breathing and the quality of movement rather than sustained asana. What the pursuit of this seeks is a way to extract meaning from doing the practice. So, while the class will include executing difficult inversions or elaborate backbends, it is really about finding an experience through yoga practice that illuminates what it is to be alive. Success or failure in performing “advanced” asana work in a flow of movement is relative…it is something that is particular to the moments in time during which they occur. Though one attempts to refine them through practice, they never become entirely perfect. Instead, they are a platform for learning and cultivating stimulating experiences.

Even though this might be a fairly challenging class, those who are quite new to yoga will also find a wealth of information and entertainment on offer.

🧘‍♀️2x Master Class - 90 minutes / session🧘‍♀️

Date: April 5 - 6 (Wed & Thu)
Time: 2:30pm - 4pm

This session is the perfect introduction for anybody interested to experience what a tripsichore vinyasa class entails.

As the title implies, we will be exploring the fundamental tripsichore vinyasa sequences and breathing technique with much detail.

Then we progress into the more multifaceted sequences which includes inversions, backbends, arm balances and drop backs (to name a few) while edward provides his insight and guidance into the intricacies of the practice.

🧘Foundation Course - 7 hours🧘

April 7 (Fri) - 6:30pm - 8:30pm
April 8 - 9 (Sat & Sun) - 10:00am - 12:30pm

Tripsichore is a comprehensive vinyasa practice whose techniques are applicable to other advanced physical, philosophical, and meditative styles. The course is an introduction to these techniques and will provide a foundation for the subsequent creators course.

It is not just “the basics”, but also an explanation of why one takes up the study of yoga. This course considers what the plausible ambitions are for contemporary yoga practice; both in a personal and global sense.

It is an introduction to an adventurous practice that ranges through physical accomplishment, intellectual rigour, and imaginative possibility.

This course might be physically challenging, but is suitable for all except absolute beginners.

🧘‍♂️Creators Course - 20 hours🧘‍♂️

April 8 - 9 (Sat & Sun) - 1:30pm - 4pm
April 10 -12 (Mon - Wed) - 10am - 4pm

The creators course is one of tripsichore’s favourite courses to teach. It is an occasion to work on difficult technical material and to then deliberately explore how that material can be utilised for artistic purposes. This kind of exploration leads to rapid improvement in one’s practice and understanding of yoga.

Tripsichore has long enjoyed the reputation of teaching a challenging technique that they use for the presentation of yoga theatre productions. While the bulk of tripsichore’s public teaching pursues their detailed technical approach to yoga, the creators course is our opportunity to teach others the way we use yoga as a form for artistic creation.

While some study will be devoted to technique, the primary concern will be the consideration of what that technique can do when employed as an artistic tool.

The tripsichore technique is not about developing the world’s best handstand and an award winning back bend or even the best splits in the room. It is about attaining sufficient mastery of the body and mind to use in the creative communication of art.

The justification of art in terms of yoga should not be necessary, the performer is in the service of communicating a work of art and to perform a work of art well, the performer does just what a yogi is alleged to do – they are engaged in the moment and skilfully conveying meaning.

This full on commitment is what tripsichore technique is about. The creators course will impart a deeper understanding and an improvement of the personal practice of the participants.

I Look In The Mirror And See Too Much Of You — One of the scene in our latest yoga theatre show [WHEN YOU THINK IT’S FINISHED; START AGAIN]

What do you see?

In Tripsichore, we apply the techniques we learnt into something theatrical where we put our thoughts, emotions, breath and the whole of our being into it.
