YOGA

Starr was deeply influenced by her father, who is passionate about fitness, during her university years. She started her first yoga class at the gym operated by her father. Being petite, weak, and physically stiff, she struggled greatly in her first yoga class. However, over time, from initial curiosity to a sense of clarity and tranquility that came from practising, she fell deeply in love with yoga. This led her to participate in her first yoga teacher training and she gradually started teaching. On her journey of practising yoga, Starr has encountered many teachers. Her initial mentor, Mahendra, guided her to open the door to yoga, and later, she learned more about the philosophy of yoga and powerful yoga styles from Mandy. Starr wants to impart her yoga knowledge to her students, bringing flexibility to the stiff and strength to the soft. She enjoys creating new sequences in her practice and teaching, giving students a different yoga experiences every time. In Starr’s classes, she focuses more on connecting the body and breath, enabling students to immerse themselves more deeply in the practice. She believes that yoga is not just a physical exercise, but also a spiritual cultivation and exploration.
