Synopsis
This session consists of three segments: Meditation/Breathing, Chair Yoga, and Singing Bowl Therapy. You can explore the benefits of yoga with no prior strength or flexibility required. We focus on aligning ourselves with our body and mind.

During the Meditation/Breathing segment, we will use the power of breath to calm the mind and body, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance overall well-being. By aligning ourselves with our breath, we can tap into its inherent potential for healing and rejuvenation. This segment can also improve sleep quality and mindfulness.

The Chair Yoga segment is perfect for those who find mat yoga challenging. With the support of a chair, we will move through gentle stretches that release tension in the neck, shoulders, back, and hips. This segment can help improve posture, circulation, and flexibility.

The Tibetan Singing Bowl Therapy segment is a traditional and holistic method of stress reduction and healing. An introduction session is included to try out these peaceful resonating sounds and how they affect your body and mind. By lying down in a relaxed position and enjoying the soothing sounds of singing bowls, we can invite joy and positivity into our lives. This segment can also help balance chakras and promote deep relaxation.

Note: Please bring your own yoga mat and dress comfortably in clothing that allows freedom of movement.

Instructor Bio

Meet Suzu, a yoga alliance certified instructor, originally from Japan who has been living in Singapore for over a decade. She is also a cancer survivor who turned to yoga during her recovery. After experiencing complications that resulted in a loss of strength in her right leg, she began practising basic yoga to heal more quickly. Through her practice, she not only regained strength in her leg but also found tremendous calmness and positivity in her mind.

Suzu would like to share from her own experience that yoga is about reaching different versions of oneself and connecting with one's body and mind. It promotes overall health and helps individuals understand the needs of their bodies on a daily basis. Her yoga journey also led her to explore the healing aspect of yoga, and she became certified as a singing bowl therapist. Today, she incorporates her expertise in singing bowl therapy into her yoga sessions, providing her students with a holistic and healing experience.
