Article 5: Tiara
In the past, I have been a casual and inconsistent practitioner of yoga. As mentioned in one of my previous blog posts, I would mostly attend Yin or Restorative classes. Being a naturally sensitive being, I used to feel very overwhelmed by the fast pace of life in Singapore. I constantly felt overwhelmed with information […]
Finals: Anna
Looking back the past 4 weeks, it has been an adventure. I know it’s going to be tough but I didn’t know it’s going to be to so intense. I almost give up at 1 point. First was Zoom lesson and secondly teaching in class. Public speaking was never my thing. I get really nervous […]
Improving Posture with Yoga
This YTT has just been a string of breakthroughs one after another, week on week. But my most memorable lesson would have to be the theory session on the spine. We each had a turn to be inspected by our course mates, observing our bodies from head to toe. Besides my overpronated feet (which […]
Taking Regressions: Nicole
Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to test out my hatha vinyasa sequence on my sister and her fiancé. During YTT theory sessions, we’ve been practicing creating multilevel sequences with regressions and progressions, so I was confident that it would be a manageable sequence for my (willing and enthusiastic) participants. What I did […]
Daily Stretches for the Desk-Bound Worker: Nicole
I don’t think I would describe my job as “desk-bound” by any means (I run an English enrichment centre and usually teach several live classes a week), but with online lessons becoming a part of our repertoire, I've definitely been spending way more time in front of a screen than I would like. This has […]
Yoga Is Not Just About The Physical Practice: Wiy
Practicing what I learnt in Yoga off the mat I tend to forget about the philosophy practice in Yoga. Physical practice is easy because it is tangible but applying the philosophy off the mat… it is tough. Before I started doing yoga, I was sleepwalking through life. I ignored the discomforts my actions brought […]
Tips On How To Prepare For Yoga Teacher Training: Wiy
200 hours of yoga training can sound intimidating and if you are new to yoga, it may be overwhelming, as you don’t know where to start your research. I was definitely overwhelmed! There are so many options available out there and I wanted to ensure I made the right choice for me. So […]
4 things I Would Like To Continue Doing After YTT: Wiy
1. Eat Healthily Food is like fuel to our body so eating good food nourishes the body. It was apparent for me as I took care of my diet during YTT. I ate smaller portions, more greens, less meat and at regular timings so that my body has sufficient time to digest the food in […]
My YTT Journey: Wiy
I started my YTT on a high. I was looking forward to my YTT because I knew it was what I wanted to do. I wanted to be a teacher. And getting my YTT certificate will help me achieve my goal. I was excited to learn all the fancy moves and anatomy and philosophies so […]
Humble: Titus
I was playing competitive softball for over 20 years. I thoroughly enjoyed “action-packed exercises.” I have never considered yoga as it seems too slow and boring. My exercise regime naturally gravitated to things like spin, boxing, and High-Intensity Interval Training. Filled with adrenaline, I begin to feel something was missing, and I lack a sort […]
