After exploring North America BY motorcycle as a young teen, Duncan Wong came full circle back to his Northern California roots. There he sought solace from modern life in the Sierra wilderness, connecting with Native American cultures and spending time on American Indian reservations.
In his late teens, Duncan began studying yoga, which led him to Buddhist sword master Kwahn Jang Nym of the Kuk Sool Won martial arts family in San Francisco. After a decade of pilgrimages to the jungles of southern India and of study with Master K. P. Jois of Mysore, Master Jois authorized Duncan to teach ashtanga vinyasa yoga, a powerful method that involves synchronizing breathing and motion with a specific series of classical postures. The flowing circular harmony, known in the Kuk Sool Won method as Won Hwa, was in keeping with Duncan's own training and formed the basis of his synthesized method. From Master Su, Duncan received his black-belt teaching degrees and lifelong Buddhist influence.
Duncan is also certified in the Jivamukti method, a psycho-kinetic yoga method that stresses source teachings from the Vedic texts and other teachings of the ancient mystery schools. He attributes his asana-goddess connection to Sharon Gannon and David Life of the Jivamukti Yoga Center in New York City.
He draws his vital kundalini-shakti-pat, or awakened source energy, from master Sri Gurumayi of the Siddha yoga tradition.
After researching and exploring Thai and shiatsu healing methods, Duncan created Yogic Arts™, a synthesis of yoga, martial arts, and massage. The celebrated performing artists who are his students and life mentors reflect his devotion to the arts and have helped mold his style of excellence and empowerment.
Duncan now lives in Shanghai, China, where he teaches students from around the world. As the only authorized resident ashtanga vinyasa teacher in China, Duncan has his own studio in Shanghai called Namaste Yoga Shala. His passion for the Japanese culture and community are expressed through his work at his mother base, Studio+Lotus8 in Tokyo.
