Adrian has trained thousands of people throughout Malaysia, Thailand, China, Singapore, Sweden and is now making his first visit to Prague Czech Republic. Originally trained by Cyndi Lee of OM Yoga in New York, he has gone on to study with many of the world’s masters throughout India and Nepal for the past twenty years. He holds advanced certifications in Ayurvedic medicine as well as Neuro Linguistic Programming and several different systems of energetic healing. He has been teaching yoga in Bangkok for the past six years. His unique understanding of the spiritual and philosophical aspects of yoga combine with athletic yet precise practice of yoga postures and breathing which has lead many to consider Adrian one of the top instructors in the Asia region.

"look no further if a quality teacher is what you are after"
"While most of the students might be magnetized by his awe-inspiring vinyasa sequences, I was most impressed by Adrian's immense knowledge of, not just on yogic disciplines, but also that of Indian mythology and different schools of thoughts and systems. His grasp on such ancient systems is apparent in his teaching of Yoga Sutra; I understood more of Patanjali's teaching than ever before. He has the heart of a sage, and his love of yoga is transcendental. Look no further if a quality teacher is what you are after, just brave yourself for the radiance that shines through his heart"
- Shane Chan (Malaysia)

"...enabled me to begin a successful career as a Certified Yoga Instructor ” Dear Adrian, I wish to thank you for the excellent training I received at Yoga Elements Studio, which has enabled me to begin a successful career as a Certified Yoga Instructor. I'm very grateful that you pushed me to develop my practice and knowledge far beyond what I thought was possible, and instilled in me a desire to continue learning and developing.
Sincerely, Naree Chaijaroe (Thailand) "This deep yoga study has taught me how to live better”
I was especially impressed with Adrian's knowledge and how this deep yoga study has taught me how to live better. I learned a lot about philosophy, yoga anatomy, and how to teach real yoga. The yoga sutras have become my life teacher. -Junko Masada (Japan)
"This course supported my life and importantly helped me cross mental barriers.”
I would recommend this course to all who want to go deeper in yoga. This course supported my life and most importantly, helped me to cross mental barriers. I definitely enjoyed the class and all that has been offered, like workshops, guest teachers, the videos. It is great that you offer all that at the studio and put so much effort in! -Marcha Sibling (Holland)
Hi Shane and Adrian, thank you both for coming and yes it was a great workshop! So much that Adrian had said has been going through my mind today , I really learnt a great deal and I am very grateful that I have met you. Adrian you really deserve all that is coming to you, I was so overwhelmed by your energy and knowledge. Keep in touch! Lots of love Elaine Ng (Malaysia)
Hi Adrian, how are you doing? I want to thank you for your classes and training as it really helped me in my life to become calm and to be able to be 'one' with my body and mind. It has been a good experience for me and I am sure that it will help me further, both in yoga as well as in my job and personal life. I also found your classes interesting to follow and you manage to exchange your knowledge and experience with us, even when the yoga theory isn’t’ always that easy! I think that your teaching skills has helped me to develop myself as a good student/teacher of yoga and hope you will keep sharing this with other new students. With best regards, Ratchanee (Ple) (Thailand)
Hi Shane & Adrian, Adrian's workshop was wonderful and precise, easy to understand and remember. I have been practicing yoga and attending workshops for years, still searching for the answer/way how yoga re-union our mind soul & body, he has given me the answer. Previously those Ashtanga vinyasa workshops i attended only work on physical body and not the five bodies, I felt it is important to understand and practice yoga for the benefits of 5 bodies. Usually, I felt tired practicing vinyasa first series but I discovered proper pranayama and pratyahara will help a lot. Mantra chanting able to improve my breathing. Keep in touch luv, jeanie mok choy leng (Malaysia)
Thank you to you both for making the trip to Penang! I am so glad that I finally got to take classes from Adrian. Rather ironic that I didn't get the chance at Yoga Elements in Bangkok but instead he came to Penang. If I came away with only one thing from the weekend, my practice would be all the better for it. However, I learnt so many new perspectives and received "reinforcements" on what I believe in...very comforting sometimes in the face of this "ultra fashionable trend" that is yoga nowadays. So I came away recharged and I hope you will come again to Penang! Take care. Janis Tan (Malaysia)
