Adeline.Tien Restorative yoga, somatics & nervous system education. Founder, The Rest Collective. Hello! Welcome to my FB page. My name is Adeline Tien.

Helping people better understand stress, tension, movement and rest through practical, body-based education. 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 fell in love in yoga in 1994 and started teaching in 2002. I am Yoga Alliance certified E-RYT500 and YACEP, and also a certified restorative yoga teacher trainer (Judith Lasater's Advanced Relax and Renew ยฎ 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.

More people joined us for classes today, and it was so lovely to see the room filling up.

When I started these independent classes, part of what I wanted was simply to create a place where we could keep practising together. So seeing familiar faces return, new people join, and this little community begin to grow means a lot to me.

Thank you for showing up, practising, and helping to build this with me.
Independent classes at Jazz Cats, Valley Point.

Tuesdays & Thursdays
- 11:00am Slow Flow
- 12:15pm Myofascial Release

It was really lovely to see Azlena again. I havenโ€™t seen her in a while, so having a familiar face turn up at one of my independent classes felt especially nice.

Azlena has significant compression in her spine. Since we had a little time beforehand, we spent it exploring what might help her feel more comfortable.

We experimented with this supported position over a chair to offer a gentle sense of traction and length through her spine. The chair was cushioned with a folded yoga mat, and we kept adjusting the setup until her head and arms could rest comfortably too.

I also wanted this to be something she could recreate at home, so we used simple things she might already have: a chair, a spare yoga mat, and support under the head and arms. Pillows, cushions, folded towels, or even a low stool could work too, depending on what she has available.

Once we found a position that felt right for her, she stayed there comfortably for about 8 to 10 minutes.

After more than 20 years of teaching, this is still something I love: seeing how something as simple as enough support can help create more ease and space in the body.

For me, teaching is about paying attention, observing, listening with my eyes, experimenting and responding to the person in front of me. I look for where the body feels comfortable and the breath stays easy.

I now have some availability for one-to-one sessions in Singapore. These sessions give us more time to explore movement, tension, rest and support in a way that is specific to your body.

- Place your fingers between your toes and give them a little wiggle.
- Let the toes spread, move and get reacquainted with having some space.
- Do this often.

๐˜ฝ๐™š๐™ฃ๐™š๐™›๐™ž๐™ฉ๐™จ:
Giving your toes a little more room can help with balance, ground contact, toe control, walking, and your awareness of how you stand.

A few minutes with your feet counts.

The last few days have reminded me that even though I teach these practices, Iโ€™m not immune to stress, uncertainty or holding tension in my body.

So I came back to what I know.

Feeling my body. Feeling my breath. Letting the ground support me.

Nothing outside of me had changed by the end of the practice.

But I felt more grounded. I could breathe. And there was a little more space between what had happened and how I wanted to respond.

For now, thatโ€™s enough.

Being able to move into a range is one thing.๏ฟฝ
Being able to control yourself through that range requires a different kind of strength.๏ฟฝ
In this supported single-leg hinge, your glutes and hamstrings help control the movement at the hip while your trunk works to keep you steady.๏ฟฝ
Keep your back foot lightly on the floor as a kickstand, and use a wall or chair for support if you need it.๏ฟฝ
Move slowly as you lower towards the block, then take the same amount of time to come back up.๏ฟฝ
You may find that reaching towards the block is quite easy. Controlling the journey down ๐š๐ง๐ ๐›๐š๐œ๐ค ๐ฎ๐ฉ can feel very different.๏ฟฝ
If you spend a lot of your day sitting, this can also be a useful way to get the hips moving and ask the muscles at the back of the hips and thighs to work through a greater range.๏ฟฝ
This is one way I explore strength with students: ๐™๐™ค๐™ฌ ๐™ข๐™ช๐™˜๐™ ๐™˜๐™ค๐™ฃ๐™ฉ๐™ง๐™ค๐™ก ๐™™๐™ค ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™๐™–๐™ซ๐™š ๐™ฉ๐™๐™ง๐™ค๐™ช๐™œ๐™ ๐™ฉ๐™๐™š ๐™ง๐™–๐™ฃ๐™œ๐™š ๐™ค๐™› ๐™ข๐™ค๐™ซ๐™š๐™ข๐™š๐™ฃ๐™ฉ ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™–๐™ก๐™ง๐™š๐™–๐™™๐™ฎ ๐™๐™–๐™ซ๐™š?๏ฟฝ
