Wellness through Yoga

Not sure about Restorative Yoga and Sound Healing, and whether they are for you?

Restorative Yoga is a meditative form of yoga that allows you to focus on your breath while releasing tension in your body. It aligns the physical and mental aspects by practising stillness for extended periods of time, with the support of props such as folded blankets, bolsters and blocks. This is a restful practice that is all about slowing down and opening your body through passive stretching.

Sound Bath is about using the vibration of sounds from tools at varying frequencies to facilitate self healing. These soothing vibrations can help you reach deeper states of calm and relaxation.

Give yourself an opportunity to pause and reset to allow space for divine love and inner connection. Your body and mind will thank you for this nourishing experience.

We welcomed a couple of new students in both our Yin and Hatha Yoga class this week. I am so happy to hear their feedback that the class was welcoming, calming and challenging all at the same time 🙂

In our Hatha Yoga class, we practiced this energising standing sequence to strengthen the legs, improve hip mobility and lengthen the spine. It also builds strength, balance and focus.

Starting in Mountain Pose, step one leg back into Warrior I. Open the arms and chest to transit into Warrior II. Stretch and tone the waist and side body in Extended Side Angle, Triangle and Reverse Warrior poses. Engage the core and glutes to lift the back leg into Warrior III. Repeat the other side with mindful breathing.

You can also practice a modified version of this yoga flow with this link:

Thankful to have a full class this morning for a mindful Hatha Yoga practice. We worked on our core, hips, side and upper body as well as balancing muscles. We also worked on our mental fitness by pausing and meditating.

It was great to welcome back a couple of ladies after their extended time away. We had a cheeky special “egg” hunt, opting for a healthier home-grown passion fruit rather than chocolate 😛 It was so lovely to connect after the class over a cuppa and snacks from Japan too.

We have three more weeks of classes before I head overseas at the end of the month.

Dear Yogi,

So happy to welcome back a few of the ladies to yoga class after they have recovered from illness and returned from holiday. But we are also missing a few students due to their ongoing health issues. We are sending thoughts and wishing them speedy recovery.

In both our Yin and Hatha Yoga class this week, we practiced Nadi Shodhana Pranayama. This is a great yogic technique that clarifies the energetic channels by balancing the right and left side of the brain, the yin and yang, the feminine and masculine energy. It balances the nervous system, reduces stress, and calms the mind. No wonder everyone finished the class with a nice and gentle glow 🙂

Why we love going to Japan so much. 🥰

You go to Japan for a trip…
but somehow Japan comes home with you.

Here are a few habits that quietly stayed with me after visiting.

Walking on the correct side.
Even back home, my brain still looks for arrows on the floor and automatically moves to the “proper” side. When people walk randomly, it feels like traffic with no rules.

Being extra quiet in public.
After experiencing peaceful train rides in Japan, I now lower my voice on buses, elevators, and waiting areas. That calm, respectful silence just feels right.

Carrying my trash.
Japan trains you to hold on to your trash until you find the right place to throw it away. Now I catch myself putting wrappers in my bag instead of looking for the nearest bin.

Appreciating small details.
From neatly packed food to polite service, Japan makes you notice the little things. Now even a simple meal or coffee feels more special when it’s done with care.

Always planning the next trip.
The biggest habit of all: thinking about Japan again.
Because once you’ve experienced it, one trip never feels like enough.

Sometimes the best souvenir from Japan isn’t something you buy—
it’s the habits you bring home with you. 🇯🇵✨

Keep our body balanced and strong. Let’s practise Standing Half Moon Pose. This is a balancing posture that strengthens the legs, ankles, and core while opening the chest and hips. The pose improves balance, stability, and deep stretching.

Grateful to have a few days in Hong Kong, making memories with my family. A short gathering with my dear little friends from primary school was also precious. Until next time, let us all stay healthy and well.
