Lydia Ong

Language: English, Chinese

Lydia's yoga journey was one of humble origins. Yoga was not Lydia's usual fare when she attended her first class in 2006. She had always been a cardio junkie, preferring fast-paced heart-pumping classes for a good workout. Naturally, she did not fall in love with it immediately. She actually found it quite a challenge to even hold the asanas. However, she did not give up. She continued taking classes as a challenge to herself. As time went by, she was drawn in by a strange curiosity about how yoga made her feel different in a good way. Slowly, she began finding fulfillment in her practice and yoga became an integral part of her life.

Lydia soon felt that it was time to take her practice to next level. By the time she completed her 200 hours Yoga Alliance Teacher Training at Dr. Venky's Shivshakti Yoga Institute (International) India in 2012, she had discovered a new love - that for teaching and sharing the joy of yoga with others.

Lydia gently guides with tips on breathing and alignment. Her Hatha yoga sequences are specially designed to help open up the body, heart and mind to achieve a relaxed and refreshed state. Lydia is also a Psychology bachelor's degree holder with strong interests in Positive Psychology and holistic wellness. These converge to her style of yoga, one which offers therapeutic effects for physical and mental health through regular and correct practice: Yoga with a smile. :)

Dawn

Language: English

Dawn's first yoga class was a memorable 90 minutes hot class. She spent half the time running in and out of the studio to escape the heat and gulp down water! Despite the demoralizing experience, the feel-good effects after the class prompted her to keep coming back to the mat. Having practiced for more than 4 years and ventured into different styles of yoga, she loves that there are always new poses and variations to learn. The learning journey never ends and yoga never gets boring! Other than the physical benefits she experienced, being on the mat after a long day at work has also become her quick-fix for stress relief. 

Inspired by fellow passionate yogis from all walks of life and the amazing benefits it has brought to them and herself, Dawn decided to take up a 200Hr Yoga Alliance teacher training course in March 2013 so that she can share this wonderful experience with others. 

Dawn believes it is most important to have a fun and safe practice, and encourages students not to be too hard on themselves on the mat. Her teaching emphasizes on proper alignment to build a strong foundation. She feels extremely blessed to have found yoga which she truly enjoys, and to have the opportunity to share it with others.
