My Students, My Inspiration

I received a beautiful gift, all the way from Tbilisi, Georgia this morning. 

The 5 beautiful souls that were in my teacher training last Fall, got this pendant custom-made for me. It spells my name in Georgian. I am so touched that they remembered me asking how to write my name in the local language when we were having our last team lunch together back then. The thought and the gift are indeed very special, and something that I will cherish dearly.

Fast forward to the present, these ladies have grown by leaps and bounds, found their authentic teaching voices and let their inner confidence shine. They truly are a capable bunch (and I'm not talking about getting into extreme poses like putting one leg behind the head either). I love their efforts to support each other in their yoga practice, and the community programs they have in place, to bring yoga off the mat... and in a country that they do not even call home.

There is certainly no better reward than to see them blossom in their yoga journey and in life. 

They inspire me, and they make me a better teacher.

Thank you, Eniko Pianovszky, Katarina Skogen, Hilary Adams, Diane Delpozo and Kate Smart.

May your inner fire continue to illuminate others on the path of yoga.

Om Namaha, Gratitude and Blessings.

I'd love if you can join me at the Shala to flow in an exhilarating yogathon of 108 sacred rounds of Surya Namaskar on Sunday, 19 May at 8.30am. This donation-based practice is part of our Bhakti Yoga. If you're not in Kuala Lumpur, do join us in spirit by practising the 108 at your place, and give a donation to your favourite charity. Let us connect globally as a borderless yoga community whilst meditating in motion. 

As of now, we have confirmation that yogis from Yoga India Mysore, Hyderabad, Melbourne, Singapore, Tbilisi, Kazakhstan, Moscow, Bali and London will be flowing with us on Sunday.

May we all align our energy, and transit into the new moon with peace and unity in our hearts.

Om Shanti, Love and Light always.

It's A Boy!

It's days like these, that I'm blissfully reminded that it's such a blessing and honour to teach yoga. Teaching is never, ever about me, but about what I can give to those who come onto the mat.

I received a text from my Prenatal Yoga practitioner today, announcing that she gave birth to a 3.2kg healthy baby boy, the natural way.  She sent a big thank you and said, the Prenatal Yoga practice helped her a lot, mentally and physically, and made the journey into motherhood more serene, blissful and beautiful.

Her last Prenatal Class was just last Saturday, and she was at 39 weeks plus. It goes to show, you CAN keep coming to yoga right up to the moment you're ready to pop!

Big love and congratulations to the new mum. 

I love my job! xx
