Merry Christmas from our silly family to yours! xx 🎄

Hello November! 👋🏻 While in other parts of the world, stepping into November usually signals the beginning of winter, It seems like fall has just arrived in HK🍂
Fall has always been my favourite season. While living in Canada, I enjoyed seeing the leaves turn red and copper 🍁 Now in HK, I cherish fall for its fleetingness - the hot and humid summers seem to drag on and on, and before you know it, Christmas carols in shopping malls herald the arrival of the winter season, sweeping fall into a forgotten corner. But I love everything about it: walks and picnics in the park, rooftop yoga sessions, pumpkins and chestnuts… 🎃🌰 Any other fall lovers out there? 🙋🏻‍♀️

How do you bond with your baby? ❤️

This Wednesday Oct 27, I’m running a yoga and baby massage session with certified infant massage educator Ashlee Schroth to enhance the bond between you and your little one. You’ll be able to massage baby even if he/she has started sitting or crawling - Ashlee will teach us techniques to engage baby at any age. We ran a similar session last month and all the babies - even older ones close to 1yo - loved it! You can also gift this session to a new mama 🎁

As a mom who’s always looking for postnatal fitness options, I’m grateful for the abundance of wonderful teachers and studios in our city. Check out this great list that Sassy Mama Hong Kong compiled! (I’m very honoured to be included in it 🙏🏻)

Back To The Mat: Postnatal Pilates, Yoga And Fitness In Hong Kong Returning to exercise after pregnancy can daunting. Postnatal Pilates is a great foundation to then start postnatal exercise or yoga classes.

Behind every great kid is a mom who’s pretty sure she’s messing it up. Can anyone relate? 🙋🏻‍♀️ (You’re not alone!❤️)

Who You are by Danna Faulds 💕

Who you are is so much more than what you do. The essence, shining through the heart, soul, and center, the bare and bold truth of you does not lie in your to-do list. You are not just at the surface of your skin, not just the impulse to arrange the muscles of your face into a smile or a frown, not jut boundless energy, or bone wearying fatigue. Delve deeper. You are divinity; the vast and open sky of spirit. It's the light of God, the ember at your core, the passion and the presence, the timeless, deathless essence of you that reaches out and touches me. Who you are transcends fear and turns suffering into liberation. Who you are is love.

👆🏻The words that I needed exactly this Monday morning. Thank you 🙏🏻

You may know that I’ve started teaching in studio called IKIGAI, and some of you have asked me what the name means. This SCMP article will answer your question! ⬇️

No mirrors, small classes: yoga studio that paves way to ‘reason for being’ The recently opened Ikigai wellness studio in Causeway Bay provides diverse classes in yoga, meditation and movement-based practices, but what’s with the Japanese name?
