Welcome to Episode #76 of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast! My conversation with Victor Chng, a yoga teacher from Singapore, was so fascinating as we took a deep dive into the spiritual understanding of yoga and QiGong. I hope that this conversation made you curious about the energetic imprints of the body itself, and how the chakras, the meridians, and the nadis are all different layers of a map that overlays the body, to utilize for the purpose of healing.
If you’re looking to tune into a podcast episode that is all about the aim of yoga is to achieve an indestructible body, then this is the conversation for you.

Tell me more about Victor Chng
Victor Chng began his yoga journey in the late 1990s and took his first teacher training in Singapore under SVYASA in 2002. Victor began full-time teaching in 2004. And today, he has developed his own system of yin yoga training and practice by integrating Daoist philosophies, Buddhism, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Yellow Emperor Inner Classics to help his students understand a deeper dimension of the yin practice. He also incorporated Qigong, an ancient energy movement developed in China, into Yin Yoga. He teaches all over Asia. He has studied directly under the elder students of the legendary Krishnamarchaya of Mysore, including TKV Desikachar, A.G. Mohan & Srivasta Ramaswami. He has also studied under Paul Grilley as well.
What to expect in the Yoga In Singapore episode of the Wild Yoga Tribe Podcast
This podcast episode with Victor Chng is not quite like any other episode on the Wild Yoga Tribe podcast. Victor truly takes us through a deep dive into the history of yoga. Not just stopping at Patanjali’s yoga sutras, but going beyond into China, Japan, and through thousands of years of history. We touched on Ayurveda, Chinese Medicine System, and Yellow Emperor Inner Classics, a lineage of information that was completely new to me. Victor is a true wealth of knowledge, and he generously shares it with us on this episode.
