Kevin Hwang was introduced to yoga when he casually accepted an invitation to class from a friend. Like many yoga practitioners, he describes his yoga journey as life changing. While yoga results in obvious improvements in strength, balance and flexibility, Kevin was amazed that performing asanas (yoga postures) could have such a profound effect on everything else – such as his diet, mood, and outlook on life. Owner of an adventure travel company, Kevin’s other passions include backpacking, photography and travel.
