Afro yoga puts Khabonina Qubeka in the light

Khabonina Qubeka was honoured as a leading professional creative at her Hong Kong yoga tour.

This was presented to her by Hong Kong’s City University director, Wilson Lam, for her contribution to the art of yoga.

Khabonina felt warmly welcomed as she introduced the university students to Afro yoga.

“Everyone practices different yoga. Basics are the same but we all add our taste. I add the African taste. My choreography is advantageous because I would add a bit of our dance moves. They like that I add the South African twist,” she said.

She conducted her workshops then visited yoga studios around the city.

“The use of space is amazing there, yoga studios are very small but when you are inside you wouldn’t feel it.

“A place like Hong Kong is like a machine, it is always busy there. People are busy at any given time, and it’s like when you don’t work hard, they wonder why you are in Hong Kong.

“I learnt that there is nothing that doesn’t work. People there jog at midnight. You can use your phone at midnight and won’t get mugged,” Khabonina said.

She has two tours left. One in Botswana later this month, and another in Tanzania in June.
