The 7 Chakras Introduced Through Suraya's Yoga & Meditation Journey

Whenever I am asked how I got into yoga, meditation and sound therapy - I usually end up telling a chronological story of my life. My name is Suraya Sam ("Sue"). This is a brief of my life story through The Seven Chakras – the centres in our bodies in which energy flows through. The wheels of energy centres from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. We understand more today because of what we learnt from

Fitspo Busy Mom & Spartan Race Obstacle Runner in Singapore - Natalie Dau (@rockstararms)

Practice little acts of courage & honesty daily. Make yourself alittle vulnerable, alittle uncomfortable - have the courage to be imperfect. Few of us enjoy the stress of stepping outside our comfort zones, but, as the saying goes, that is where the magic happens!

Thousands took part in Spartan Race on 22 April in Hong Kong. This weekend, the race will be in Singapore, followed by other Asian countries like Malaysia & Thailand in the 2nd half of 2017.Want

Honing Self-Awareness: Practice Gratitude, Mindfulness & Meditation

Honing Self-Awareness: Practice Gratitude, Mindfulness & Meditation

We often hear the phrase “the grass is greener on the other side”. Many of us have probably realized by now that this is a lie our society and culture has fed us to perpetuate - a constant sense of dissatisfaction with ourselves and our lives, and an envious attitude toward others; ultimately wholly negative and destructive thought processes.

What I want to tell you today is this: the grass that you’re standing on at this very moment is

Power of Words: a Self-Love Practice

Power of Words: a Self-Love Practice

Start your day with positivity.

We don’t realise the magic and energy of words. The words in our heads, the words that we read, the words in the music we listen to, the words in the movies we watch, the words on the advertisements we see, the words that come out of our mouths, the words that we post on Facebook, the words on our Instagram posts, the words that we send to each other through email and Whatsapp

Recovering from Burnout - How Fitness Rebuilt Me: Robynn Yip, YouTube, Universal Music HK

Lights on, camera rolling. No matter what, put on your brightest smile. May your eyes speak. May you exude confidence, as though you are more confident than you actually are. Speak with eloquence, even though your brain is actually farting nonsense. Pump up those endorphins in the psychological basement to pretend to be more excited than exhausted. Go home, be a sedentary hermit, go out, repeat.

Robynn, fake it till you make it.”

Those are the kinds of things that

Superwoman: Are you always stressed?

...Are you a perfectionist? Do you find it hard to say no to others? Are you exhausted? Do you find it tough to put your needs before those of others? Do you allow yourself to relax?

Marjorie Hansen Shaevitz first coined the term “Superwoman Syndrome” in 1984, defining women who are trying to do it all. These are women who are multi-tasking numerous roles in their personal and professional lives, or perhaps, women who are focusing on one key role
