Yogasana

This is a great reminder for the holidays as looking at other's social media posts can give you a warped view of their life and a sense that somehow yours is inadequate. Everyone is struggling, and learning, and growing. Dont compare your journey to someone elses.

How do you deal with a rough day?
Me: I go upside down for awhile, close my eyes and think of Night Birde‘s words: “You can’t wait until life isn’t hard anymore before you decide to be happy”

I used to think: Yoga props are for beginner. And the arrogant me never touched props (like blocks and strap) until the day I pulled my muscle during a yoga practice and realised I was so wrong.

And I learn that when I come to yoga, I better put my ego at home. Props like blocks and straps support the practice in so many ways even though we may think we don’t need them. I love using props to stretch, to help me overcome my fear of falling, to enter a new pose that may require different muscles that have rarely been used.

Below are my favourite position to open my heart and shoulders, as well as support my back bending and stretching my core. The feeling is out of this world soothing and relaxing!!

Have a good night 😴

When it comes to difficult asanas in Yoga, arm balancing poses and inversion poses (head below heart) are at the top of the list. Because they require not just strength, not just flexibility, but the courage and determination to get to them. No one is born with the strength and flexibility. It takes hard work, dedication and most importantly the correct training method to prevent injury and optimise your capability.

If you want to start, like the most experience yogi somehwere, hit me up and ask for tips. The first one is, START with basic 😊.

It is a brand new week. Don’t let your Monday turn blue.
Often time when I asked people if they would like to try Yoga, there are 3 typical answers I get when it is a No/Maybe:
1. I’m not flexible to do yoga
2. It is very slow, I don’t think I can lose weight
3. I have old/new/various injury

It is understandable where these reasons come from. Yoga, very often, looks either intimidating or boring online. Even on my own Instagram, I post a lot of arm balance and inversion to show off 🤪, not joking, and celebrate my achievement. But I want to bring you back to the root of yoga and it is nothing to do with fancy poses. It is about understanding your own body; learning about the harmony of movement and breathing; learning to be quiet and stay inward; and ultimately finding peace in your mind. Whatever you look for, yoga may offer. Whichever stage you are in; yoga got you covered. And your experience with yoga will be uniquely yours like how you want it to be. Not mine, not theirs, but YOURS.

1. You don’t need flexibility to start. Yoga will help you improve your flexibility.
2. Yoga is slower pace, but I can assure you a flow class can make you drip a pool of sweat if you want to.
3. Yoga teacher are trained to modify the practice if you have injury. But always CONSULT your doctor/physician before you start any form of exercise, including yoga.

Trust me and come to my Virtual Yoga class every Saturday. I want and hope to be the one to change your mind.
