Tapak Merdeka | Freedom Step

This Merdeka, we celebrate freedom from the ground up.
In yoga, the feet are our foundation — every root, every step, every balance begins here. When we awaken awareness in the feet, stability ripples upward through the knees, hips, and spine… giving us strength, steadiness, and freedom in movement.

Join us for a special Merdeka class on 31 Aug where we’ll explore mindful foot engagement, toe mobility, and grounding standing postures.

Let every step on the mat be a reclaiming of your space, rhythm, and freedom.

We often think Yoga is about touching our toes…
But what if it's really about what we touch along the way?
🌀 Our breath.
💭 Our thoughts.
💓 Our inner truth.

This practice isn't about becoming someone else.
It's about unbecoming the noise…
And remembering who we already are.

✨ Why do you practice?

20/06/2025

To my teachers, yoga friends, and students —
💫Happy International Yoga Day💫

Yoga reminds us that everything is connected —
body, breath, soul, people, and the universe.

It teaches us patience, persistence, and how to adjust.
Sometimes we adjust life to practice,
sometimes we practice to adjust life.

Yoga isn’t just physical —
it’s an inner experience.

Peace is within us.
Joy lives in the practice.

Today, let’s return to our breath,
move with presence,
and celebrate the path of yoga.

20 Years Teaching Yoga, and I’m Still Being Taught — by the Breath.
In 2014, a teacher in Taiwan, Judy Wu, shifted everything for me. She said:
"No breathing, no yoga."沒有呼吸，沒有瑜伽
Her approach? Therapeutic. Roller massage, meridian awareness, circulation—not just poses. She taught me that breath starts in the body, not the nose.

Fast forward to 2024, I dive into Jill Miller’s Body by Breath—another awakening. This time through the nervous system, a Western lens.

Two paths, East and West—both leading to the same truth:
Breath is not a technique. It’s a relationship.

Many classes focus on asana. But the subtle layer is missing—the breath's anatomy, its effect on physiology, and our modern imbalances: pain, fatigue, restless minds.

🌀 That’s why I created this Pranayama Course.
Not to teach just breathing techniques—
But to explore how breath shapes your posture, your body, and your mind.
This is a transformational journey—for students and teachers alike.

✨ If you’re ready to slow down, go deeper, and reconnect—join me.
This is breathwork that regulates, heals, and transforms.

20 years of teaching yoga & the rise of Pilates/Reformer Pilates

Pilates is trending. More students are choosing reformer classes. Should yoga teachers feel insecure?

Acknowledge the trend
✅️ Yes, Pilates offers benefits for some students
✅️Yes, the market demand is shifting
But does that mean yoga is losing its place?
❎️Absolutely not.

Why do people stay with you as a teacher?
Students don't just stay because of the method; they stay because:
✅️Your personality
✅️Your heart-centered teaching
✅️Your humbleness & authenticity
✅️Your dedication to learning
✅️Your embodiment of yoga in daily life

The Essence of Yoga
🌱Yoga is more than movement. It's about working with the mind
🌱Citta Vritti Nirodah (stilling the fluctuations of the mind)
🌱Everyone needs yoga, whether they realize it now or later

Navigating the market without insecurity
✅️Teach what you believe in
✅️Stay dedicated to your practice
✅️Don't feel forced to learn every modality unless it truly excites you
✅️If you love teaching both Yoga & Pilates, that's great
If not, have faith in yoga

The industry will always evolve, but your authentic teaching and deep practice will always stand out.

What are your thoughts, yoga teachers?
Have you felt this shift?
