About Us

While teaching acrobatic yoga in China in 2015, we chose our name in honour of the hindu Monkey King, Hanuman. The monkey symbolises playfulness, belief, trust, creativity, acrobatics, connection, and community: attributes that are an apt description for this style of yoga.

The year 2016, happens to be the Chinese Year of the Monkey (coincidence or not?), made up of two elements, Yang Fire (the year) and Yang Metal(the Monkey). Yang Fire sitting on Monkey represents the setting sun. It's the end of the cycle and the chance for something new to grow forth. And so 2016 gives rise to our first teacher training course! As yang fire symbolises the sun, it generates optimism and happiness. The monkey is naturally happy; loving movement, socialising, and being part of a community. These are all aspects that we embrace in our practice and our training.

Woven into the fabric of our practice are the therapeutic and dance arts, spiced up with a little bit of circus, and before you know it, visions of Cirque du Soleil appear in your mind and soul. At HAY, we invite this diversity and encourage the exploration and creativity to flow abundantly, enhancing your growth and development…physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially.

Be amazed at what you are capable of!
