We call ourselves the “Flying Dragon Trindem”. “Dragon” because we launched our educational YouTube video platform on the first day of the Asian Dragon year, January 23, 2012. “Trindem,” for lack of a better word, that describes a tandem of three. Yes, we are three artists who joined hearts and minds to create a visually captivating and innovative concept for a healthy and happy living.
Our trio prides itself on a master Yogini also a dance theatre scholar; and two award-winning filmmakers, and movie directors. We know our stuff. We conduct sound research before designing all sequences – making sure they are targeted, safe and yet offer a new spin. We shoot in beautiful locations, weaving image, words and movement into poetry of motion. We edit uncompromisingly until we get the final cut – an innovative, yet accessible routine that addresses our viewer’s requests. We love to experiment, to break new ground…and we love to FLY. We fly through the lens of the camera, through the spin of the asana, through the play of words. Come fly with us!
