Fay Lee Yoga

This one is dedicated to everyone who is just starting their Ashtanga Yoga practice. Prasarita Padottanasana feels like super complicated choreography when we first begin, but then becomes second nature after a while of practice. Save this one for reference when you get confused 🥰

One year merit ceremony. Thank you to our family, close friends, and community for coming together to bless our Shala. Coming together to cultivate positive energy and intentions going forward into this next year was very meaningful to all of us 🥹🙏🏼💗

My ticket to Led Intermediate: I still have it today 🥰

Taking a photo in the huge hall. I was trying to smile while so terrified of the Kapotasana that was coming

A portion of our Led Intermediate Class with Sharathji. Can you find me? I made it by listening to the sound of his voice 💗

I was so shy to take a photo with Guruji but now I am so grateful I did.

After this workshop I knew I would go to Mysore. I was determined 💪🏼❤️‍🔥

And this was my reward for surviving Kapotasana 🍦

Sirsasana, step-by-step: Made for my students who are working hard on this one 🥰

3️⃣ Bring both knees in to the tuck position,stay and breathe

4️⃣ Slowly extend to the straight line position, moving up and down with control

Mysore Bangkok: Ashtanga Yoga The Yoga Shala

Yoga Shalaa

Real audio and real practice 💪🏼❤️‍🔥

Working with Yoga, Handstand & Mobility | BANGKOK on drills to balance my body has been a gamer changer for me in my Ashtanga Yoga practice. Before I met John my tic toc was all over the place and toc was nowhere to be found. After consistently working on the drills John gave me, simple work with resistance bands or releasing overused muscles, my body began the change. As a person I’m a very slow learner. I can only learn by repeating something many times. Also if there is something I cannot do, I need to slow down and study the topic in depth to be able to gain more understanding.

I really appreciate John for always sharing with me. We are so lucky to have you teaching at The Yoga Shala 🥰🥰

(The stability I learned in these drills have been a huge power source for the arm balances in third series)

Happy one year anniversary The Yoga Shala 💗💗

A year goes by quickly when you’re working hard. And this year I learned what it meant to give my everything to something. Building the foundation of this Shala took everything I have both physically and mentally. I am a perfectionist and am quite hard on myself for not being as successful as I wish I could be. But what I saw yesterday was the one most important thing I did succeed in: Making a yoga home and building a community in Thonglor.

The Shala has a become home to so many people and I am proud that it has become the safe space for so many 🥹🥹 yesterday I reflected on the fact that I have met so many people this year and we have made so many new friends because of our Shala. These are not surface level relationships but rather relationships based on mutual understanding, support, and respect.

I feel grateful from the bottom of my heart to each student who continues to show up to practice and bring positive energy to our space. You make our dream into a reality. I am so grateful to everyone who has come to support me this year. Building this business has, and still is, very difficult. But every time I feel like giving up someone comes along with kindness and reminds me of why I continue to do what I do. Thank you to students, partners, family and friends. No matter how strong we are, we cannot do anything alone. Our community is strong and thank you for believing in my dream of The Yoga Shala Bangkok 🙏🏼💗

I need to say a special thank you to 𝕊𝔸𝕀ℕ𝔸𝕄💧 who has a fighters heart like me. No matter what you always find a way to overcome every obstacle for our Shala 💪🏼❤️‍🔥

Weekend mode activated 🥰

Keep swiping for the best ones…because these days I never do anything alone 🥰
