In 2010, he started working in a fitness centre and had the chance to explore many fitness classes. From there, he started his yoga journey. During the 1-2 years of attending the yoga classes, he discovered yoga not only benefit physically, it also soothe mentally. It helps in releasing tension and moderating feelings.

Hence, he decided that he would like to share what he had learnt to others. Johann found his inner self calling out to be a yoga instructor. Thus, he took up the challenge by getting certified in 2012 and his journey as an instructor began in 2013.

Liow Yunmin

Liow Yunmin

When Yunmin first gave yoga a try many moons ago, it was not to the most encouraging start! Being more content with inactivity up until then and having just had her first child, she found yoga rather challenging. Quite surprisingly however, she felt that there was a certain something about yoga that she liked and decided that it was something that she would like to get better at. For a while, it seemed as though it was not meant to be as her second child soon came along. To focus on taking care of her children, Yunmin also decided to leave her job in the public sector.

It was not for another 3 years before Yunmin decided to give yoga another go, motivated partly by a motherhood-induced interest in health. Committing more regular time to classes and self-practice, she realised that what she liked about yoga was how it connected mind and body as well as the accompanying sense of quiet energy and lightness. Wondering if dividing her time between her children and yoga might lead to the all-rounded fulfilment she was looking for, Yunmin decided to get certified to teach yoga.

Yunmin became a certified yoga instructor in 2021. She focuses on Basic Hatha, Gentle Yoga and Yin Yoga. She believes that yoga resonates differently with each individual and hopes that she can help her students expand the space within to get in touch with the unique way that yoga makes them feel.

Cedric didn’t get involve in Yoga back then as he believed it was a female ‘sport’ although he was working for a reputable Yoga organization in Malaysia.

It was only when he started his marketing career did his interest in the wellness and sports industry took off. He found it interesting and educational to lead the public to eat, live, exercise and think positively and healthily through marketing messages.

It changes his perspective in terms of how he saw people around me – how he slowed his pace given Singapore’s hectic lifestyle – how peaceful he is in handling work stress – how open his mind could be in accepting differences in others. This was the start of Cedric’s journey. He began to accept himself of who he was and how he could influence other people through his words, actions and gestures.

Cecilia Wong

Cecilia has always been into competitive sports like Netball, Touch Rugby during school days. But sports came to a halt when she had to stop school to pursue full-time work before secondary education came to an end. Eventually, having the slightest stretch became so hard.

Fast forward to early 2017, with the resolution to keep fit, she attended her first ever yoga practice and it was an instant love despite struggling with the random shapes the teacher put the class in. And as Cecilia adjusted to a more mindful, healthier lifestyle, Yoga has played a vital role in keeping her grounded whenever the day gets tough. She knows for sure that she will always have the mat to turn to and that she will always feel so much better after the practice. She completed her YTT200hrs back in April 2019. Cecilia’s personal practice consists disciplines in Hatha and Vinyasas, but she loves to always throw in some core work in her sequences too.

In search for a deeper connection to yoga, she completed her 500-hour Teacher Training with Don Peers and is deeply honored for the additional guidance from teachers: San, Ross Rayburn and Leslie Kaminoff who have shared their love and knowledge generously. Out of the mat, she gets a kick out of climbing trees and diving.

She finds it inspiring and rewarding to be on the other side of the mat, to watch students come alive, respecting their body, honoring their breath and enjoying their practice. She hopes she can lead individuals towards a deeper level of physical fitness and a stronger connection to their body and mind.
