1. "A Passion for Yoga" - Major international yoga event to be held at the Landmark Mandarin Oriental Hotel
The Oriental Spa at the brand new Landmark Mandarin Oriental hotel in the heart of Hong Kong's Central district will be host to A Passion for Yoga—a landmark yoga event from 9-11 September 2005 that will bring together for the first time two of the world's most renowned and influential yoga gurus, and will help to boost Hong Kong's status as one of the leading yoga centres in Asia. The event will include seminars and classes focusing on the ancient exercise and meditation regime. Ticket prices start from HKD 1,300 for a 1-day seminar to HKD 2,500 for the 3-day event. The event will kick off with an evening opening ceremony on 9 September to introduce the yoga masters, followed by seminars and classes on the 10 and 11 September. The package will also include a daily organic healthy lunch, and special accommodation rates at The Landmark Mandarin Oriental will be available upon booking of the event.

The star-studded line-up includes Sharath Rangaswamy, the world’s most advanced Ashtanga Yoga practitioner from the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute in Mysore, India, as well as A.G. Mohan, a personal student of the legendary Sri T. Krishnamacharya and author of Yoga for Body, Breath and Mind. O. P. Tiwari from Kaivalyadham Yoga Research Centre and finally Rajiv Chanchani, a senior Iyengar Yoga teacher who was responsible for bringing Yoga into the Indian education system.

The event will present a perfect opportunity for yoga practitioners of various disciplines—from studios throughout Asia Pacific to students within Hong Kong—to gather, share and experience the authentic wisdom of yoga. Over the weekend, teachers and practitioners will discuss, debate, practice and share personal experiences on yoga, and examine its core principles, benefits, and diversity in style. Those interested in participating in "A Passion for Yoga" should telephone (852) 2132 0188 and ask for The Oriental Spa, or email lmhkg-yoga@mohg.com. Bookings and inquires, please see www.mandarinoriental.com/landmark.
