Maverick Quek

Teacher

Hailing from Singapore in 1984, Maverick is a polymath, interested in all aspects of life and culture on Earth, with an affinity to the present instant.

He was introduced to Yoga in 2005, in his belief that it would improve his golf. It did. However, magical as Yoga is, its fascination grew; just as the spiritual aspects of the practice began to pervade all other aspects of his life. Yoga was learnt and practised with a myriad of teachers from the amazing Colette Ward (Infinity Yoga, Glasgow), Paul & Suzee Grilley, Mark Whitwell, Sheri Celetano (Laughing Lotus, New York), Dechen Thurman, Yogeswari, Nicole Rudschinat, Cyndi Lee, Sarah Powers and Gabriela Bozic, not forgetting all others who have contributed to enrich his powers of perception: to listen and truly hear, to watch and truly see. To communicate is the only way of spreading the message of compassion and love. Teacher training was absolved with Paul & Suzee Grilley in Hamburg in 2010 with a further training in the Chakra Theory & Practice in Singapore in 2011.

Our body is a temple. Our offering is the dance, a symbolic regurgitation of the eternal dance of the atoms. With his experience with music, dance and Yoga, he plans to share this knowledge to combine the three to emulate the eternal dance of Shiva. "Shiva dances!" is a statement from the Hindu tradition from which the Yoga tradition came. Shiva dances a furious dance (Tandava) to destroy old structures and habits and a slow lyrical form (Lasya) to coax the fresh and new to grow. This is the cycle of life.
