Phoebe, a 24 years old self-employed working in the Finance Industry. Growing up in this modern busy city, she enjoys traveling to countries where she can take a step back, escaping herself into the nature where there are beautiful sandy beaches and magnificent sceneries of cliffs and mountains; that’s where all the adventure begins! She was never a fitness kind of person until she attended a Hot Yoga lesson with a friend and she fell in love with it instantly, and that’s how she embarked on her Yoga journey… 

1. How are you able to juggle work and yoga workout?
Being a self employed, I managed my time by waking up slightly earlier to do Yoga every alternate morning, I will either hit the gym for my usual hot yoga class or self Yoga at home.


2. When did you start doing yoga?
I was introduced to yoga back in 2013, but never have the persistency to pursue it until earlier this year.
3. How has yoga changed your lifestyle/improved your lifestyle?
Yoga definitely improved my lifestyle. For my work, I frequent have to run about everyday to meet clients and I tend to get tired easily before I end my day. After I start to Yoga, I feel more refresh and energize and it can last me throught the whole day without feeling worn. Yoga also makes me a calmer person.


4. Any yoga poses that are meaningful to you? Or which poses are those you took a long time to achieve?
Mermaid pose. It’s a very beautiful pose and it helps to stretch and straighten your spinal. It’s also the stage to achieving One-Legged King Pigeon Pose. (Something I’m practicing to achieve it soon!) 

5. Favourite pose?
Yoga Split! I have very stiff bones since young so I have always envy people who can do a split beautifully. Hopefully to perfect a forearm stand with split in the near future!

6. What do you look for in a yoga wear?
Soft and stretchable fabric is a must! Breathable material with be a plus point as I frequent hot yoga classes. For pants, prolly more fitted to Asian women, as we tend to be more petite in size.

7. Any tips for beginners?
Wooden Slant Board! Usually for beginners, our hamstring tends to be very stiff! When I started practicing yoga, I used this to stretch and it helps tremendously for me! If not, you can drag a friend with to your Yoga class! It’s always good to have a yoga buddy to keep fit together!
