Yoga with Felix on Tues, 30/9/08

We had a fabulous class with Felix on Tuesday, somehow practicing by the poolside with the sounds of water, birds chirping away & the sunset just makes it all so good. Even Felix says that we didn't need music in the background when the swallows were busily chirping when we were at sarvasana (corpse pose).

Interestingly, some of us discovered that we simply can't squat as our ankles are tight and rarely stretched. It may seem like a simple pose, but believe me when I say some can't squat with their heels on the floor. Fortunately for me, maybe I had some "squatting" time in my younger days, before GBH or Johnson Suisse.

I could not find my balance initially when we had to stand on 1 leg & stretched the other leg up to waist level with 2 fingers. Somehow, after doing several sets of sun salutation, my head was a little spinning, with all the fresh blood rushing to my head, therefore losing my balance.

Well, looking forward to another class........

Hatha or Gentle Flow - 30/9/08 (Tues)

Hi beautiful people,

There's yoga class by Felix on 30/9 (Tues). If you have not tried his class, I would highly recommend you to try as I find him being a dedicated teacher, not only passionate about yoga but he also shares with you the proper technique when holding the asanas. The asanas are not tough to execute as he will guide you thru the correct muscles to contract and how to hold the asanas in a more effective manner. You will definitely feel the difference with Felix's class. He is definitely becoming one of my favourite teachers now.

Venue : Level 5, beside the pool
Menara Bukit Ceylon, Jln Ceylon

Time : 6.30pm

p/s - pls bring your own mat/towel/water.

I had a good response from some ex-Yogazone during the complimentary trial class, but didn't see anyone of them since then, sigh! Well, I guess when it's a free class, why not? Except for some loyal ones that has joined my class since the 1st time! Thank you to those that have been supporting the teachers and enjoying the classes. The teachers feels great & happy that they know that there are people who still enjoys yoga & they know that there are still other options besides YZ!! YAY.

Hatha on Thurs, 25/9/08

I am trying to organize 2 classes this week. If you have read my earlier blog, Tuesday's Gentle Flow by Keane.

Hopefully, there are enough people to join the class on Thursday-Hatha by Felix. If you have not attended Felix's class, I highly recommend you to try.

Date : Thursday, 25/9/08

Venue : Level 5, Menara Bukit Ceylon
Jln Ceylon

Time : 6.30pm.

Please come & support the teachers.

P/S- as usual, bring your own mat/towel/water.

Gentle Flow on Tues, 23/9/08

There will be a Gentle Flow by Keane. Some of you may know him as Grady, (well, he changed his name recently). Maybe someday, I'll change my name too??

Date : 23/9/08 (Tues)

Venue : Level 5, Menara Bukit Ceylon
Pool Side

Time : 6.30pm (but please be at least 10 mins earlier)

This time, I hope to have the class beside the pool, if not too many people are swimming. A change of scenery would be nice.

I know that some had to pay RM5.oo to park opposite the condo, which I would like to consider as I really do not want anyone to be paying for car park. Perhaps I can make arrangement to let you park in the condo's visitor parking. Let me know in advance if you want to park in the condo :)

the DOGGIE

Yoga is the craze now, not only amongst women but also men. For those that has been practising yoga knows the benefits and could see and feel the changes it has made to their mind, body & soul.

Another evening of yoga by the pool side-our teacher told us that its important that we balance our body temperature by regulating the coolness in our head and warmth in the stomach. When the temperature is balanced, we will avoid coming down with a flu, sinus & indigestion. Therefore, we were asked to stick our tongue out & "behave like a dog". Let your tongue out loose & long, that's the exact words.

Sit on your heels with the toes tucked under, place both your palms in front of you & let your tongue hang out. Yes, all of it! Take a deep breath with your tummy tucked in and just breathe out in a fast pace (with the tongue hanging out still). If you need further clarification, then I hope you have a dog at home, watch the dog. I couldn't help it but laugh out in between. I mean I've never behaved this way before, not ever..... but then again, it was a good, I felt coolness in my head & light. So, practise this at home or maybe while having coffee with your friends. Surely they wouldn't think that we are weird, would they??

Change of Venue for 12/9

Dear All,

Please note that the venue has been changed to Level 5, pool side area.

Those not residing at the condo, kindly register at the security. There's ample parking space directly opposite the condo.

See you all....

1st Private Class with Dr.Ameen

We had our first private class with the great Dr.Ameen this evening. The traffic was just crazy, & I was stuck in the traffic for 2 1/2 hrs. I could have arrived in Singapore!!!

The weather was just perfect after the rain, the cool breeze blowing into our face, brushing against our skin made it simply magical moment whilst doing the poses. It made the poses seems easy as the moment was just perfect.

We could hear the water gently gushing from the pool & that made it even more tranquil & with the lights emiting from the skyscrappers. How could it not be perfect?

Dr.Ameen made us laugh during the practice & I am sure everyone that was there had mutual feelings as I did. Everyone asked when is the next class immediately after he "tortured" us. To some of us it was a torture, but a good one. We know that with the constant "torture" with all the bending, stretching & ohhh ahhhss will just make us svelte, toned & healthy.

Looking forward to more ohhhh & ahhhhss........

3 hours a week??

Thank you everyone for your positive feedback/comments.

Well, some of you has mentioned that perhaps 3 classes per week is sufficient. Therefore, to cater to everyone's needs, if you wish to sign-up only 3 classes per week, the following fees applies :-

1) RM180 per person/month.

The time for the classes has yet to be confirmed as it all depends on the crowd's preference. Therefore, please e-mail me or leave your comments here on which hour suits you best.

Dr.Ameen will be coming over tomorrow for the 1st private class-by the pool side, YAY!!! He's such a good teacher, I mean it was my first time practicing with him today at THE Weld, & he made me sweat a lot, I mean a lot. It was such an enjoyable & great workout.

Please come and show your support for the teachers.
