Cooking Courses with the Chef Association
Penang has no organised cookery courses but you can contact the Chef Association to see if any of their chefs would be interested in giving a lesson or two. The earlier you get in touch with the association, the more likely you are to find an instructor. Prices are not set and will need to be agreed upon by you and the chef and will depend on the venue, menu, group number and number of lessons.

Yoga Classes and Accreditation at Trisula Yoga
Yogis and yoginis come from all over the world to get their teacher training and certification at Trisula Yoga as it's one of only four yoga schools in Malaysia that is a registered yoga school (RSA) with Yoga Alliance USA and Asia Yoga Alliance India. Certification is in 'nondenominational' hatha yoga and generally takes six weeks. Occasionally the school also runs reiki training courses so check the website if you're interested.
For regular lay-person classes, call or email for times (which change regularly); pilates is also available.
