Harmony and Happiness
Keep practicing and all is coming. It is small progress over the past 3 years but I am gradually have more awareness of my body and I am enjoying the daily practice. I truly appreciate myself to dedicate time and put effort to take care of myself.
In May 2022, I discovered and joined Xiao Mi yoga. In August 2022, I became the disciple to my master Jiaxing. I have been learning and practicing yoga with them on daily basis. My yoga has been improved dramatically since I joined them.
Thanks for meeting with them in 2022. I am looking forward my yoga to reach a new level in 2023.

This year, the level of my yoga practice has improved dramatically. Thanks to the guidance of Teacher Francine and the accompany of the students. The fitness during the epidemic is no longer a black and white memory, but a colorful blockbuster.
The process of yoga is to practice and wait for the flowers to bloom. Today, the lotus flower finally bloomed in the lotus position. I suddenly found out that I could do lotus pose easily. I didn’t specifically practice this lotus posture. It was because of the accumulation of yoga practice throughout the year. The journey to yoga is picturesque along the way.
Practice, Practice and All is coming.

In the month of Jan 2021, our Yoga classes have focused on opening shoulders, opening hip flexors and strengthening the spine, for preparing backbend. Both me and our students are so excited to see that we have made progress.
Thank Margaret to share her progress throughout the Jan. At the beginning of Jan, she was not able to hold her head on the mat with her hands. After constant practicing, she finally did wheel pose on Jan 18. On Jan 31, it was her first time to do a camel pose without props.
Keep up great work, everyone. So proud of our yoga community. Let Yoga becomes our daily routine. Together, we practice and progress in Yoga.

2020 is a crazy year. Due to COVID 19 pandemic, our life has been forever changed. We cannot do any thing at our end to change or fight against the fact of this pandemic but we can change ourselves to adapt accordingly.
I am so happy that I made decision to attend online Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) course in 2020. Becoming a Yoga teacher is one of my goals in the recent 2 years but I just wanted to wait for a right time until I thought that I was ready. Actually, there is not a right time but now, right? why wait? What is the consequence if I do that now?
This is an intense training course with both two full days on weekends and two nights on the weekdays for two-month straight along with other extra required time for homework and assignment. Total 280 hours is recorded on my YTT certificate, which covers techniques training/practice, teaching methodology, anatomy and physiology, Yoga Philosophy, lifestyle and ethics, and practicum. My understanding of Yoga has reached at a new level even though I have practised Yoga in the past 9 years.
It has been so grateful that my friends were my first round of students who supported me by attending my Yoga classes and providing feedback, which was part of my YTT training required assignment.
I have been thinking about what is the business module or value that I can bring to my students as there are so many great and experienced Yoga teachers, free Yoga Youtube channel, online Yoga classes, etc.
My goal is to form a community with a group of people who can practice and progress in yoga together, and we bring our practice into our daily lives. Together, we learn and grow. My goal is to aim long term of practice and progress in Yoga, for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years…… Who knows what magic we can create in the future? But if we do not try now at this present moment, nothing will happen in the future, for sure.
I liked the quote from The Bhagavad Gita:
“Yoga is the journey of the Self,
Through the Self,
To the Self.”
I will use Blog on this website to write the diary of the journey to record every moment of our community.
