Sharing about yoga journey by Chong Tze Kwei.
βThrough the practice of yoga, I pray for a pure heart, fresh start, healed thinking, renewed mind, higher vibrations, right spirit, happy life, and a grateful soul.β
Sitting in a simple Padmasana, I began my journey with this guided prayer during my very first yoga class with Master Jey back in November 2020 at Brickfields Sakthi Yoga. Since then, my passion for yoga has only deepened and flourished.
I am profoundly grateful for the teachings and guidance Iβve received, first from Master Jey and now from Master Baskar at Sakthi School of Yoga, Semenyih. The countless sessions of Surya Namaskara, the exploration of asanasβfrom the basics to intermediate and advanced levelsβalong with pranayama and meditation, have been transformative. Yoga has not only helped me reduce self-criticism but has also brought me closer to becoming a self-connected and harmonious person, from the inside out. Words will always fall short of expressing the immense impact these teachings have had on my heart and soul. I bow down in deep respect and gratitude to my masters for their wisdom and encouragement.
Yesterday marked a milestone in my journey: participating in my first international yoga competition organized by the Sakthi School of Yoga (SSOY). It was a beautifully orchestrated event, thanks to the dedication of Master SK Durai, the instructors, and the volunteers. The joy and satisfaction radiating from the participantsβ smiles reflected the eventβs resounding success.
Standing on the stage, ready to perform the asanas I had practiced so diligently, I began with a simple breath in and out. In that moment, I inhaled joy and abundance and exhaled all negativity. My mind, heart, and soul were filled with the teachings, guidance, and encouragement from my masters. With each pose, I felt their presence, their lessons flowing through me.
What was the result of the competition? That no longer mattered. Yoga has taught me that the journey itself is the rewardβthe lessons learned, the inner strength gained, and the moments of connection and self-discovery.
Once again, I bow down in gratitude to Master Baskar, Master Jey, and all the instructors and volunteers at SSOY. Your efforts and dedication have touched my life in ways words cannot fully convey. Thank you for this incredible journey and for inspiring me to continue growing, evolving, and embracing the spirit of yoga."
