YOGA

From the dance floor to the yoga mat, Suryo’s transition from a national standard dancer to a devoted yoga practitioner and instructor is a tale of finding life's purpose. Her quest for meaning led her to her first yoga teacher training, sparking a lifelong connection with yoga. For Suryo, yoga is not just a practice but a guide to life's wisdom, a tool for introspection, and a mirror to the self. Grateful for every guide on her path, Suryo's journey has been significantly shaped by mentors like Rob Lucas and Professor R.S. Bhog from Kaivalyadhama Yoga Institute in India. Rob’s encouragement helped her realise the boundless potential within, while Professor Bhog's expertise in yoga psychology and meditation deepened her understanding of life's fulfillment. Embracing the philosophy of benefitting oneself and others, Suryo's teachings are rooted in compassion and the desire to bring peace and joy to others. Beyond yoga, Suryo explores soul astrology and follows her Hmong Medicine master's spiritual practices, incorporating these insights into her teaching. Her classes offer a blend of gentle guidance for inward and outward practice and the encouragement to explore personal limits. Just as she enjoys caving, high-altitude trekking, and mountain climbing, Suryo views these activities as both an exploration of the external world and a deep dive into one's potential.
