Common misconceptions about Yoga:
•It’s only for flexible people.❎
It’s for EVERYONE. Yoga is meant to make the body feel open and good. Even if you’re not flexible, the goal is to allow your body to feel good, regardless of how you may look in the pose. People who think this way are focused on how they look or the perfection of the pose rather than the purpose of Yoga.
It’s not about how it looks. It about how it feels.
•It’s too slow.❎
Many people aren’t aware or knowledgeable on the various types of yoga. Each type caters to different purposes. I remember the first time I did Ashtanga Yoga, sweat was dripping down my nose in the very first 10mins of the class. Try different types before you stereotype yoga.
Also, due to common Asian mentality, there’s a lack of patience with the self. We have patience for our boss, our colleagues, listening to our relatives or friends. What about ourselves?
Sometimes, stillness is the best gift you can give to yourself.
•You can’t lose weight or tone your body through Yoga.❎
Again, try the different types of Yoga. People often associate Yoga with only stretching, flexibility and static state. There’s a whole lot more related to motion and flows, strength, core and balance, stamina, breath capacity, etc.

Bloom your own joy, love, light & energy from within. Believe that you are light and you start to radiate your intentions. When your intentions are pure you exude an aura and no one can touch you. No one can affect you.

Just wanna take this moment to be grateful for being able to breathe when people around the world are grasping for air due to the pandemic. A moment of silence for the families who are experiencing loss. Maybe this is a phase of destruction that the world has to go through. Because where there is creation, there is destruction.
Peace and love to all.

Just started using this beautiful handmade organic deodorant from LUSH UK It has super absorbent powder with a lovely smell that surprisingly lasts all day.
Switch to an organic deodorant today if you haven't already yet and you'll thank me. Chemical deodorants contain aluminium cancer-causing substances and also darkens the skin.

We lose ourselves in the questions of the past and future. When the answer is in the now.

In tribute to the International Women's Day this month, I thought I'd put my recent bouncing thoughts to words as a form of reminder to my fellow females to stay amazing or an encouragement to those who are striving to be. So here's my two cents' worth of list of things I gathered from my thirty years of life. 1. Delete the word "Perfect" from your dictionary…...
