The Power of Union

"When the right intention is set, the Universe answers and everything will come together. And if it doesn't happen at that particular moment, it's simply because that moment isn't yet right.... but it WILL happen eventually, when that intention comes from a place of honesty" - R's Facebook status.


Something that we set about talking two years ago, in the living room of a small, semi-dilapidated cottage during the torrential downpour of the Indian monsoon, is slowly coming to light. And just as "Yoga" is defined as "Union", this collaboration of minds, bodies and hearts will create something greater and stronger as we harness the Power of Union. 


The purpose of a union is to create something greater than we can create alone. Not because there is any deficiency or incompleteness in us, but because each of us is unique, with our own talents and abilities, and in union, we increase the efforts and talents available for creating something more meaningful and impactful together. All unions, whether romantic, creative, or based on professional grounds, can be powerful relationships for personal growth.

Being in a union is like looking into a mirror, reflecting back the parts we love and dislike about ourselves. If we have the courage to recognize our reflections in each other, the union will then offer us the acceptance of who we are, and an opportunity for personal transformation. A union that works requires effort, patience, nurturing and the willingness to adapt, adjust and accommodate. Life is a collaborative effort. Together we are stronger because our personal power is multiplied by two.



We expect lots of exciting days ahead, as this union takes shape, and we look forward to making positive changes in the world, one yoga mat at a time.
The Power of Union
Here's wishing you a beautiful life.


Love, Peace and Light (multiplied by two).

Labour of Love

It doesn't really count as work, when you LOVE what you DO, and DO what you LOVE.


I'll be teaching a special class this Labour Day (1 May) at Journey Within Studio. So, snuggle a little longer in bed, and then come Vinyasa with me from 10.00am to 11.30am. This is an ALL level class that will balance strength with flexibility, and inner peace with outer calm. 


Beginners attending need to have at least 6 months of regular yoga practice. Kindly RSVP to book your mat space. More details in the flyer below.


See you soon, sunshine!

Yoga In The Park

When was the last time you practised yoga in the divine outdoors, breathing in the crisp morning air, and actually Surya Namaskar'ing as the morning sun rises?


My friend's studio, Inner Living Yoga, in the quaint, historical town of Melaka (a mere 2 hours drive from Kuala Lumpur) will be celebrating its 3rd Anniversary this May. To celebrate this special event and to build the yoga community spirit, we are all invited to join them for yoga in the park, and a potluck breakfast. The venue is at the beautiful Hutan Rekreasi Ayer Keroh, Melaka.


Why not bring your family and friends, and make it a fun weekend road trip?


Details in the flyer below, but if you need directions or more info, please contact Brandon Tan at 017-3524884 or email him at body.sol@gmail.com.
