I recommend yoga because it is both an
exercise and meditation. It has benefitted
me greatly. All my teachers have been highly
professional and patient in mentoring their
students. I would advise everyone to make their
next breath count by doing yoga.- Dr. Lim Hwee Yong, Senior Oncologist at Mount
Elizabeth Hospital, Singapore
For me, yoga is more about spiritual
development than gymnastics. I teach
about slowing down, about mindfulness,
about the present, about silence, about
breathing, about stilling the mind, and
about connecting.- Fabrice Desmarescaux,yoga teacher, Singapore
Years of personal yoga practice made me discover the body,
breath and mind connection, and helped me stay resilient
and on top of the changing and challenging times, especially
after the global financial crisis. As a corporate leader, I am
able to seamlessly connect the eight limbs of yoga with the
real-life challenges of the workplace, and develop customised
solutions for each industry sector.- Subba Vaidyanathan, Senior Banker, who gave up the corporate
world after three decades, and now coaches personal resilience and
leadership based on yoga to industry leaders
I was skeptical about mindfulness meditation
before I tried it a year ago. But within 20
minutes of my first class, I thought this is
really working. Meditation grounds me. If I
do it at the start of the day, it sets me up well.
The challenge–doing it every day, something I
haven’t quite mastered as yet.-Dean Yates, Reuters Journalist62
