// Such beautiful words of wisdom from Teacher San of today.
“Life is unfair. Accept it, don’t fight it. What matters the most is; at the end of our time on Earth, we can say that we have done our very best to make our life fair.”

Mindfulness 101:

The more we look inwards, the less we are bothered by outer chaos. This enables us to focus better on our own growth and be more aware of our dynamic self that is constantly changing. Our capacity for learning, giving and loving is unlimited. So how do we start looking inwards? It is simply by reflecting and asking questions. These are my favourites ones:

1) What made me smile today?
2) What or who am I grateful for today?
3) Was I brave today?
4) What was one thing I had learnt today?
5) What can I do better than yesterday?
6) If I could change one thing about today, what would it be?
7) Was I kind / mean to someone today?
8 ) What am I looking forward to tomorrow?
9) What do I want to learn more?
10) What did I see or hear today that made me really think?
*My Yoga students would know most of these questions as I do this reflection at the end of our yoga classes. Hopefully, these questions which are not exhaustive; can help to open the doors to your mind and heart. Once opened, you can look forward to a beautiful journey of growth and fulfilling your greatest potential. When in doubt, start asking some of these questions as the answers are all within us.
Namaste 🙏🏼❤️😊

The one who looks outside, dreams.
The one who looks inside, awakens. ✨

Plant deep roots within us every single day with reflection and meditation. This simple ritual allows us to feel connected to the peace and stillness inside us. This way, no matter what happens out there; people disappointing, betraying or leaving us, major accidents and minor mishaps, nature changing our external environment, we will still feel grounded and strong. When we anchor our consciousness in the deeper body and mind rather than the external, we can tap into a true sense of power that comes from the Source. Independent from influences of the people and environment surrounding us. The higher the energy we generate from inside us, the lesser chances negativity will affect us any longer. We will move through Life with steadiness and ease. This is the Flow we are looking for in our lives. Know that no matter what happens; good and bad, we will be OK. We will always be OK.
Come Flow with me this week at my classes at and Namaste 🙏🏼

Have you found your reason to get out of bed every morning? Have you found your ‘purpose’? I think I have. Yoga is a big part of my life and I love to share its teachings with everyone. I am sure everyone can benefit from the holistic practice of yoga; not only physically but mentally and spiritually. If you’d like to learn more about Yoga or Teaching Yoga, drop me a message. I’d be happy to share with you. I am also teaching Yoga Anatomy and Physiology at our upcoming 200hr Yoga Teachers Training Course at The Yoga Co .

// Some people tell me I have an ‘easy’ job. In a way they are right, I just have to teach what I love doing right? Teaching Yoga. It’s like getting a workout at the same time. Yes, it is fulfilling to see so many happy peaceful faces during Savasana. On the other hand, I’m working with many different individuals and guiding them for that one hour. Every single student who enters the studio has a different need and expectation from the class. Some want a sweaty workout session, some want to stretch and some just want to forget their worries and de-stress for one hour. Despite me reminding every student to let go of judgment and expectation before the class begins, there will be those who already have preconceived notions of what they want from the class, what I should teach and how it should be conducted. There have been students who smile at me after the class and yet wrote negative reviews online about how my class wasn’t challenging enough or how I didn’t give them enough arm balances or inversions. I teach from the intention of helping my students to practice safely so she or he can become stronger inside out. In the morning, our body is way stiffer with thicker fascia. Hence, I spend 15 minutes doing more warmups and stretching before we go into the Sun Salutations and Flow. Breathing practice Pranayama and Kriya are also a must before we practice the asanas, to prepare our mind and body for practice. Sometimes, my explanation on ‘listening to the body’ falls on deaf ears when all the student wants is to sweat it out and do challenging arm balances and inversions. Yoga is not about doing fancy poses like Headstand and Handstand. Yoga is listening to your body and breath whilst staying in the asana, quietening the mind whilst in pranayama and meditation and most importantly; this self awareness helps us to be kinder to ourselves and others around us. The next time you wish to do challenging poses or asanas, may I suggest that you attend my Arm Balance and Inversion class instead of a Basics or Flow class. It’s more fun and challenging. Even then, I will ask you to warm up for at least 15 minutes so you do not injure yourself. Practice safely and mindfully.🙏
