1. 2nd class today, students from this batch are very confident and willing to try more poses. We spent more time on standing posture, a lot happy faces in the class.
2. 1st class of this batch, 1 stroke patient so far, most of them had knee replacement surgery and osteoarthritis. They are sharing their condition with us and with each other, then they started to share opinions about their condition. This is a good opportunity for them to practice together with similar difficulties, encouraging each other and improving their health together. So looking forward to the coming classes, it will be a very happy class, everyone enjoyed the first class so much.
3. Today class sequence is developed to prevent upper cross syndrome. Heart opening and back strengthening poses help the moms to release their emotions. The participants enjoy the class.
4. Warm and humid conditions, power flow style class with full body strength and mobility focus. Students all applied themselves well to their practice - great fun had by all!
5. Hatha flow class, students all gave great energy and focus in very warm and humid conditions.
6. Today’s class focused was on releasing front hips area after full body warm up.
7. This time we focused on Squat and variations. Squat is one of the best ways to strengthen the legs, abs and lower back. Mums need to strengthen their body to manage their families.

Teaching KC Elderly nearly 2 years. Can see that from body to mind, they really improved a lot. The yoga class built a harmony circle. They know each other well and take care of each other. Can feel full of love every time.

17. Patients feedback saying the class really helps with their pain issues.
18. The student goes to gym very often and so his muscles are very tight. It's good to share the yoga practice with him on that evening to do some stretching and chest opening poses to help him
19. All mums out town, we have 2 mums today. One of the mum brings her 4 yrs old boy. We practice together, it is just like a rehearsal for the coming Aug parents-child yoga class. We enjoyed ourselves very much.
