Whether you are based in Hong Kong, Singapore, or other areas in Asia & beyond, you'll probably have someone around you who's a "yogi", "practicing yoga" or a "yoga class addict".

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.
