Adeline Tien Yoga

Hello! Welcome to my FB page. My name is Adeline Tien. I fell in love in yoga in 1994 and started teaching in 2002.

A human being, who so happens to be a yoga teacher; wanderer and food gobbler; loves all things nice and colourful; the rain, sun and the snow; sharing, educating and empowering others through the practice of yoga, mindfulness, and loving. I'm a daughter, wife, friend, yogini, avid traveller, champion of all things handmade, serial crafter, voracious reader, nap lover and wannabe Olympic snow boarder (I am still on the novice slopes!). But most of all, I am a passionate advocate for educating and empowering people to take charge of their own health, through movement, yoga and constructive rest, such as Restorative yoga. I am Yoga Alliance certified E-RYT500 and YACEP, and also a certified restorative yoga teacher trainer (Judith Lasater's Advanced Relax and Renew ® Trainer) and a Reiki practitioner. I teach a mix of classes and am often described by students as a teacher who keeps them safe in their practice, with classes inspired by laughter, humour and stories.

I hardly ever have photos of myself teaching - partly because I’m fully present when I'm teaching , and partly because the moments are simply too sacred to pause and document.

But this one was quietly captured, and I’m sharing it with care.

You’ll notice the faces are blurred, because when we gather for this work, it’s deeply personal. It’s a space for slowing down, being held, and feeling safe.

What you see here isn’t just a foot adjustment. It’s presence, precision, and care in action. In Restorative Yoga, 𝙝𝙤𝙬 we hold space matters just as much as the shape of the pose.

In our trainings and workshops, we slow things down enough to notice:

👐 The quality of our touch

🛏 The setup that makes your student feel truly supported

👀 The subtle shifts in breath and nervous system regulation

We observe the energies.
We listen with our eyes.
We adjust to create more ease.

Because rest isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal, nuanced, and deeply felt.

Whether you’re joining one of our upcoming workshops or the full 50-hour Restorative Yoga Teacher Training this June, know this: You’ll learn to offer rest that is intentional, intelligent, and incredibly needed.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐚 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 (𝐄𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬)

As yoga teachers, we guide others into stillness—but how often do we check and observe if their rest is truly restful? Or what can we offer our students to make their rest, more easeful?

Most people lie in Savasana with their chins lifted and necks tense. Without proper support, even rest becomes EFFORT-FUL.

That’s why 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐢𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐨𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥—𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥.

When we teach students how to customise their Savasana, we:

�✔ Reduce unnecessary tension in the neck and back
�✔ Encourage full-body release
�✔ Create space for true nervous system regulation

These visuals give you a glimpse of what we explore more deeply in the 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐠𝐚 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝟏 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠.

In this 50-hour, 5-day training, you’ll learn:

�- How to set up for head, heart, and nervous system support
�- The science and intention behind every prop
�- Techniques to create safety through rest
�- Hands-on teaching skills to guide others into deep relaxation
�- How to read bodies and adapt with precision and care

𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐦𝐞

I get restless sleeps days before dental visits. ��Every dental visit brings up stuff from when I was a child.

I had my molars pulled out at a young age, and the whole experience scarred me. I woke up half way through the surgery, bewildered and not really understanding what was happening.

Those sharp tools. That helpless feeling. The bright lights. Strange faces looking down at me.

It stuck with me.

And the thing about being at the dentist is — once you’re in that chair, there’s no real escape.

You’re not strapped in, but it kind of feels like you are. Lying back, mouth open… and just 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚.�

It’s one of the rare situations where you’re literally face-to-face with your triggers and you CAN’T run.

I tried something different new in the last few visits. I didn’t push the fear away. I didn’t pretend I was fine. I just noticed it. Sat with it. Breathed through it.

It wasn’t exactly comfortable. But it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.�

I also experimented with listening to podcasts or recordings so that I could take my mind off. And that seems to work quite well.

Maybe that’s what healing is sometimes — not getting rid of the hard stuff, but learning how to stay with it… and realising you’re okay.

Just wanted to share this — because while I hold space for others, I’m human too.��I have my own triggers, and I’m still learning to be with them, one visit at a time.

***Everyone’s ID photo should be one with their mouth open, at the dentist! (see last pic)

𝐀 𝐑𝐄𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍 𝐓𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐈𝐀𝐑 𝐆𝐑𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃
 After 2.5 weeks on the road, 18-hour long-haul flights in cramped planes, and nights on ultra-soft beds that caved in the middle...  My body felt disoriented. Achy. Tired. 
Travel can be exciting - but it’s also deeply disruptive to the nervous system. Constant planning, navigating unfamiliar places, adapting to new environments - it’s a lot. And over time, it takes more of a toll than we realise.

So when I got home, one of the first things I did was lie down on my mat.
 On the floor. On the ground.

Firm. Familiar. Steady.

There’s something deeply comforting about reconnecting with the ground - that consistent, unchanging support beneath you.

I didn’t realise how much I needed it.
How much my body had been missing it.

The simple comfort of a firm floor, blankets under my head- supportive, yet unintrusive, and a familiar stillness I didn’t need to adjust to.

After all the motion and stimulation of travel, this quiet moment of lying down, with no agenda, helped me feel grounded again.

If you’ve been feeling scattered, overstimulated, or just… off, try this:

✨ Lie down. ✨ Let the ground support you. ✨ Place something under your head. ✨ Let your breath settle. ✨ Let your body soften.

Sometimes, it’s not about doing more.
 It’s about doing less.

Trusting what’s familiar.
 And letting it support and restore you.

Say Hello to Lucy Sim.

Lucy Sim is one student who embodies everything our year long backbend journey was about - mindful movements, deep exploration, and unexpected lessons.

Lucy is 72 years young.

She moves with patience, wisdom, and an incredible willingness to listen to her body.

She knows her limits, honours them, and works within them. No forcing, no pushing—just presence, awareness, and trust in the process.

With limited shoulder, hip and knee mobility, you might think deep backbends were out of reach for her. But Lucy taught us that backbends aren’t about extremes—they’re about openness, balance, and meeting yourself where you are.

Through patience and mindfulness, she crafted beautiful, strong, and graceful poses, proving that progress isn’t about chasing the deepest expression of a pose—it’s about finding the version that serves you best.

Check out how beautiful her Camel Pose is.

And the best part of it all - she did this pose with so much ease and grace.

Teaching this year-long backbend-focused class has been an incredible experience, but seeing Lucy’s quiet strength and dedication has been a lesson in itself.

May we all learn to move with more patience, honour our bodies, and celebrate what they can do—at every stage of life.

Rest isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation of everything you do.

Let’s be real. How often do you push through exhaustion because you think rest is lazy or unproductive?

Many people think of rest this way.

But here’s the truth: rest isn’t the opposite of productivity; it’s what makes productivity possible.

When you rest, you give your body and mind time to recover, reset, and refuel. That’s when clarity happens. That’s when creativity flows. That’s when you show up as your best self.

So today, I would like you to try this out:
✨ Pause for just 5 minutes.
✨ Close your eyes.
✨ Take slow, deep breaths, focusing on longer exhales.

Notice how your body feels after those few moments.

Rest doesn’t have to be complicated—𝐢𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥.

What’s one small way you’ll prioritise rest today?

This RIBCAGE RELEASE helped me sooooo much when I was down with the flu last week and lost my voice. After doing this, I could breathe so much better and my voice wasn't as strained as it was before.

✨✨✨
RIBCAGE RELEASE is wonderful myofascial release practice to create space and ease in the ribcage (hence the lungs), shoulders, neck and throat.

Give it a try!

Pushing yourself through exhaustion isn’t a badge of honour—it’s a warning sign.

Rest isn’t a distraction from productivity; it’s what makes sustained focus and creativity possible. After all, what good is a tired mind?

Take 5 intentional minutes today to pause, breathe, and reset.

It’s not about sleeping—it’s about giving your mind and body the break they need to perform at their best.

What’s one small way you’ll incorporate rest into your day or this weekend?

For me, I'll be giving myself permission to do less, and let my body's immunity work its own magic to heal my cough and voice at its own time. And resist the urge to push and get frustrated. 🤷‍♀️

Rest isn't indulgent. It's essential for everything.

Have a great RESTFUL weekend.

Hey hey. Happy New Year.

Been sitting with some thoughts lately. You know that peaceful lull between Christmas and New Year's? That sweet spot where time feels... different?

I miss that.

Now my inbox is buzzing, everyone's talking goals, fresh starts and somehow we're already planning for Chinese New Year. (How did that happen so fast?)

My husband asked about my resolutions and it got me thinking. Because I am not a fan of new year resolutions.In fact, I skip the whole resolution thingie.

I would much rather carry forward that gentle holiday energy into:

* 𝙈𝙤𝙣𝙩𝙝𝙡𝙮 themes (like choosing your own adventure, working whatever you would like to explore)

* 𝙒𝙚𝙚𝙠𝙡𝙮 focuses (keeping it real and frankly, I can't plan for anything more than a week in advance)

* 𝘿𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙮 intentions (tiny moments of joy add up)

Because why rush into changing everything when we can flow into the new year with grace and at our own pace?

Still in holiday mode? Same here.

And that's exactly where we need to be, for a little while longer at least.

❤️

PS: I'm actually doing a stretch for the muscles on the side of my neck and shoulders...though it doesn't quite look like it. Give it a try!

Our Story

Hello! Welcome to my FB page. My name is Adeline Tien. I'm a daughter, wife, friend, yogini, avid traveller, champion of all things handmade, serial crafter, voracious reader, nap lover and wannabe Olympic snow boarder (I am still on the novice slopes!). But most of all, I am a passionate advocate for educating and empowering people to take charge of their own health, through mindful, functional movement, yoga and constructive rest, such as Restorative yoga. I fell in love in yoga in 1994 and started teaching in 2002. I am Yoga Alliance certified E-RYT 500 and YACEP, and also a certified restorative yoga teacher trainer (Judith Lasater's Advanced Relax and Renew ® Trainer) and I offer Restorative Yoga Teacher Training in Singapore. I am also currently Singapore's only certified Yoga Tune Up® teacher. I’ve been a full time yoga teacher for the past 18 years (Yoga Alliance E-RYT 500 and YACEP), and my classes are infused with a wide variety of practices– from alignment-based yoga, the fluidity and mindfulness of Ashtanga Vinyasa, the playfulness of movement, to the healing power of Restorative Yoga. I am really interested in a more well-rounded approach to yoga that isn’t confined to the poses themselves. And that is evident from my interest in other styles of yoga and movement-based programmes such as The Feldenkrais Method®, Yoga Detour® Method and Yoga Tune Up®. I love incorporating these movement modalities into my teaching...and my classes are fun, educational and inspiring; conducted with simple, precise and positive instructions. I teach a mix of classes and am often described by students as a teacher who keeps them safe in their practice, with classes inspired by laughter, humour and stories.

Apart from regular yoga classes, I specialise in one-to-one Yoga Rehabilitation (Therapy) sessions, using movement and yoga poses as a form of rehabilitation to improve function and ease.
