Yoga Dynamics

I was fortunate to start Yoga when I came to Malaysia five-and-a-half years ago. I was suffering premenstrual pain, body stiffness, and pain in my back and neck. I used to go to physiotherapy once a week in my country because of the pain, in addition to the stress and worry about the future. But after working on my breathing, correcting my posture, doing cleansing techniques and meditating I started to heal myself. I do not have any premenstrual problems, my back and neck pain has subsided and worries about the future have eased. I am confident to say that Yoga has been a change in my life and transformed my personality.

Yoga has introduced me to a whole new Life Experience that transcends beyond physical wellness. Amazing how it has helped me confront various aches and pains that come with age or a sedentary life-style. Amazing how it has challenged my inner reserves and armed me with even stronger determination. Yoga has calmed my emotional outlook wherein I am more relaxed and at peace with myself and my surroundings; things and people who used to stress me before hardly irk me these days. What’s more, the friendly community of fellow practitioners who are so full of encouragement and inspiration to go that extra stretch or that seemingly impossible asana

Actually, I took up Yoga by chance 2 years ago. I was having this nagging backache that I couldn’t seem to find any relief from . . . I started out doing once-a-week classes, and then later twice weekly. Well, my backache is gone, my muscles are more toned now, I feel that I have more energy and, of course, all the body-bending has made me more flexible! I had to undergo a surgical procedure on one of my knees a few months back and I think my Yoga practices helped in my speedy recovery. I was able to bend my knee to 120 degrees by the fifth day. Thanks to Richard, I’m also now more aware of all my muscle movements in my body!! Keep it up Richard, and its great that Richard always explains the steps in every posture so that we get the technique right, instead of just diving into the postures.

I have been practicing yoga for many years and Richard is one of the best yoga teachers I have come across. In his own practice he has the perfect blend of flexibility and strength that makes his advanced yoga asana practice inspiring for students like me. Richard's knowledge of anatomy combined with his experience in teaching and general body awareness means he knows when to encourage students to push and when to take it easy. I personally improved my forward bend so that I could lie against my legs under his tutelage - particularly difficult for us guys. Because Richard spent a year meditating as a monk in Burma, his technical ability is matched by his spiritual development. This is rare in the commercial world of yoga teaching. If you’re considering a class with Richard I will definitely recommend him.

The best Yoga studio ever! I just wanted to try to practice there once but the time I step, the energy, the vibe, my god! It was amazing! I never felt so relax & peaceful anywhere else! Now, everyday, I can’t wait for the clock to show the time for me to go there! I always have so much stress due to my job but now, I feel much calm! Thanks to my great Master Iwan ?????????

Best yoga studio in town! Great for ashtanga and vinyasa. Richard, Ganesh and Iwan are the regular instructors here, and there's a monthly schedule that is updated on the Yoga Dynamics Facebook page. Keep in mind that morning Mysore classes are not available on Moon days. This is also updated on the Facebook page.

Positive: Communication, Professionalism, Quality Love the teachers here! Best place to learn traditional yoga eg ashtanga and hatha. Teachers are experienced and professional! And Iwan is so patient. He can be strict when the need arises but he always let us listen to our own body and never forcing us to do things which we aren’t capable of. Good place to start if you’re a beginner.

I attended Richard's Hatha I classes while living and working in Kuala Lumpur for a month (February 2020). He is a very dedicated and experienced teacher, trying to help you improve and deepen your practise each time, every class is following the same sequence which becomes as a meditation in action. Actually i picked up some things for my home practice. Thank you Richard! Most of students were his regular ones, mostly locals and very strong (!), however I felt very welcomed at the studio and at the class. They also have a shower which was great after the class. I would highly recommend this studio if you are an expat living not far from Bangsar or if you just happen to live in KL and looking for a yoga home. Thank you, Dovile

After coming here for almost 3 years, I was yelled at by iwan with him pointing his finger in my face, all because I had not been coming consistently to classes. Initially when I got the package he had told me point blank not to worry about the expiry date, and so I have been coming to classes as when I am free. The last time I attended classes he had told me that I had 6 classes left, no worries. All of a sudden 2 weeks later when I showed up for class again, he tells me that my classes are not valid and expired! When I questioned him about that, he starts acting aggressively to me telling me I have until August to finish all 6 classes. What is going on??? What have I done to deserve this? If this was truly an issue, this could have been communicated much more effectively. This is just bad business and zero human decency. Paying customers should not be treated anything like this... unbelievable...

Boutique yoga studio in the heart of bangsar. Primary focus is the ashtanga mysore practice, though there are a few hatha options throughout the week. Classes are suited for beginners to intermediate, or anyone looking to deepen their practice.
