Yoga with Hanim

2010-03-05T02:59:00.000-08:00

Hanim Ariffin
Been practicing yoga for more than 8 years. Started off as a ‘filler’ for classes at the gym, has now taken over as the main ‘work out’ if yoga can be reduced to that despite the wholesome effect on mind, body and consciousness.
Has since undergone several teachers’ training courses conducted in Malaysia and in India. Has completed Teacher Training Course in Mysore, India, for integrated Hatha and Astanga Yoga. Also spent time in Rishikesh, India, for Iyengar based Hatha Yoga under its experienced teacher. Rishikesh is also known as the ‘mecca’ for yoga practices and studies. Making annual visit to India since then for yoga experience and study.
People often asked on the benefits of yoga. Well, where do one begins. There are countless benefits of yoga but still does not guarantee any takers.
So, open our heart and mind to include yoga into our ‘work out’ and hopefully, into our life.

Ogie Mendoza's expertise on Argentine tango spans 14 years of experience. First and foremost as a teacher, he has learned from all the important names in the world of tango where he had condensed the best from every master he has learned with and incorporated it with his own understanding eventually formulating his own syllabus that now defines his pedagogy. He has honed his teaching skills from conducting numerous workshops to tango communities in almost all the major cities in Southeast Asia.
As a performer, he did countless performances in cities like Manila, Hong Kong, Singapore, Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Dubai & Kota Kinabalu. The most notable of which were two performances at the KLCC (Petronas Twin Towers) Kuala Lumpur with his violinist/student, Ms. Runa Baagoe, in a symphony orchestra with musicians from the Malaysia Philharmonic Orchestra in 2007 & 2008. The opportunity to perform at the prestigious KLCC concert hall with a thousand spectators watching, is one defining moment in his colourful career.
He is finally here at Havana Estudio as the new Argentine tango instructor and it is now open for registration.
