WHO IS SYLVIA?

Born and raised in Hong Kong, I used to work 9-6 in an office like a lot of people. Day in day out in the busy city of Hong Kong, same routine over and over again. Juggling between work, family, friendships, relationship etc, stress doesn't get less, weight on the shoulders gets heavy; subconsciously there isn't any time or space anymore for 'me'. I started questioning myself -

What was I fighting for?

What are the goals in life?

​

I started practicing yoga since 2012. I was always very impatient, fast-paced, easily stressed and agitated, it was certainly not my favourite; on the contrary, yoga is seeking for calmness, stillness, inner peace... For the very same reason, I decided to continue and overcome these weaknesses of mine and find balance in myself.

​

Throughout these years of practice, initially I was very focused on the body postures, always wanted to achieve the "impossible" and advanced-looking poses; gradually over time, I became more aware of the importance of state of mind and peacefulness, after all yoga is about unity of mind and body.

Yoga stresses on both physical and mental wellness: It is a balance of yin and yang - strength and flexibility; as well as focus of breaths and control of mind.​ I became certified as a RYT-200 Yoga Instructor in 2016.

​

I have tapped into the world of yoga and have been lucky to learn from wise and inspiring individuals. Having the chance to share those lessons and experiences with people around fills me with joy. Everyone could use more yoga in their lives, and I hope to see you on the mat soon.

Namaste.
