Strong mental and spiritual health is needed more than ever! Yoga and mindfulness practices can have a profoundly positive impact on our neurobiology and neural pathways, leading to enhanced mental and spiritual well-being. However, many yoga studios and teachers who are not well-versed in this knowledge can hinder their students’ mental health without realising it. This course helps you understand yoga’s proven process for regulating your nervous system and navigating personal challenges. Ideal for yoga teachers to deepen their practice and understanding of yoga beyond teaching poses.

DATE: Tuesdays 6:30-8:00pm (November 11, 18, 25 & December 2, 9, 16)

VENUE: In-person (YAMA Centre: FLK Tower 16/F, 157 Johnston Rd, Wanchai) & Zoom

PRICE: HK$3888 (Regular) / HK$3388 (Sale price!)

Just sharing some stunning shots taken by as a preview to our amazing blessing ceremony at the YAMA Centre.

Tonight is the grand opening to the public and we are super excited. My heart is so full (and my waterproof mascara ready to go!)

Happy International Yoga Day

Today we celebrate more than just poses and our breath – we honour the deeper essence of yoga within each person: connection, compassion and the courage to show up for yourself and others.

Living in community, with our humanity intact, serving with kindness, embracing imperfections, being present for one another and to ourselves is yoga.

Let’s celebrate with gratitude for whatever practice you have to keep your body easeful, your mind peaceful and your mind useful!

In service and with love always!

Part of a yoga practice is to recognise your internal signals and trust them. They help you make clearer decisions when facing challenges.

When you practice listening to your inner signals, you gain the capacity to:
- Learn how your mind and gut work and how they interact
- Intercept patterns that don’t serve you or your peace of mind
- Unpack potential root causes of anxiety and/or depression
- Choose your own peace of mind above all else, even if that means saying “no.”
- Courageously face challenges in your personal capacity

Happy Friday folks!

Teaching for 22 years and counting!
My body has changed
My rhythm has slowed
My emotions regulated
My mind matured
My heart remains open!

There's to many more years of adventure, love and service!

I'm unbelievably proud of for working so hard to grow and develop as a yoga teacher. She's a force to be reckoned with and when she led a young ga class at the global icthyosis conference in the US, I felt like a proud Mama Bear!

“Teach people, not poses!” It’s my motto for all the training I do! 22 years and counting…

My favourite pair of earrings just became single! I'm gutted! 😓😓😓 It was gifted to me by a dear friend. Its from Links of London (a brand that no longer exists) and I loved them so so much!

Of course I'm doing everything I can to find a replacement, but maybe it's a lesson in non-attachment.

What’s the use of standing on your head if you can’t stand on your own two feet?

Why we need more fat yoga teachers!

Hong Kong needs curvy yoga teachers and yoga classes for plus size. Women in larger bodies want to practice yoga without feeling judged in class. Yoga teachers need to stop commenting about their students' bodies.
