30-day yoga challengers' October feedback:

• Feez:

- Thank you Erin, Indra and Jacqualine! The programme was excellent, very possible the best thing I’ve done all year. I’m not the kind who follows things through, I’m much better at starting things than finishing them. However, you guys gentle tutelage and dedication to what you do has really done something to me!

- My objectives were met, expectations exceeded! Will be singing at wedding on the 6^th, will let you know how that goes (Indra your voice is very rich, sweet and beautifulJ) I definitely feel more balanced and less creaky.

- I feel as though I have fresh perspective, it’s like a fresh pair of eyes and now movement is something I’m so aware of. Simply appreciating sitting up straight, walking with and (hopefully) balance step.

- It’s brought many surprises as well. We have gotten more in touch with friends, colleagues, and they notice the difference in me. I got to work an HOUR EARLY and I don’t feel tired until bedtime then I sleep like a baby!

- Yes Yoga is the awesomest. Again, thank you so much for inparting your wisdom, yoga philosophy and lifestyle in general. It’s life changing. Epic!

• Kit:

- I used to have a back pain when I wake up in the morning, I don’t have back pain now!

- 30 days programme a great idea for beginners. Although I missed quite a few classes I did feel I’m able to execute poses that I did not think I could. Certainly I could feel more flexibility in my body

- Don’t think I lost any weight or inches! Not sure if body is more tone too. I guess it will take a couple more months

- I have never sweated so much in my life! I guess I got rid of my toxins too!

- Great teachers (Indra, Erin, Jackie)

- Timing not suitable for me (too early in the morning and too late in the evening)

•  Izanie:

- The 30 days Yoga Challenge for me has been about “mind over matter” It was tough in the beginning because of all the getting up early and gaining the consistency. The first week you feel tired and shiff but once you pass that you will settle into a routine, your body adjust and you start feeling good about yourself.

- Thanks to Indra and Erin for all the hard work, support and motivation. I wouldn’t have made it through without your encouragement and energy. You both make Sun Yoga a truly special place.

-  I have also enjoyed all the yummy food and drinks too! My favorites are the salsa wrap, wheatberry salad, chickpeas salad and veggie kebab. Hmm…maybe time you open a Soul Not Bucks Café full time? Thanks to chef Indra!

• Narina:

A very educational 30 days. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and found the ability to challenge myself to go a little further everytime

• Indira Sundram:

I’ve enjoyed every moment with each of you

• Harinder Kaur:

Thanks to SunYoga (especially Erin and Indra). You guys done a great job for me – to feel so great – body, mind and soul too!

My body is toned and I feel to have more strength and energy. I like my arms!

30 days yoga challenge is a really great program and its highly recommended to all. Yoga is the way to go!!

• Ee Lin:

- The day after my first class, my arms were terribly sore and it was torture when you keep repeating the motions that used the very some muscles. Keeping still on the mat during a downward dog was a challenge when your hands keep slipping forward.

- Into the third week, I felt stronger, the execution of the poses improved (except for a few crowd “favourite” poses like the “dolphin”) and the mat slipping only occurred the third/fourth set of “warrior B”

- On the whole, I feel refreshed and the 30 days challenge is certainly a good start on working on one of your many resolutions you never kept to.

- the 30 days yoga challenge is suitable if you find that you can never stick to a regime for long and never quite see through any good your set to the end. Its power packed for a “do-able” 30 days only! A colleague once said “A good without execution is hallucination”

Feedback: our bodies aren’t always at their best everyday so letting up a little one or two classes during the 30 days challenge would be refreshing and welcomed.

• Pooi Lam:

- Breaking up into sessions of 20 seconds is good = more achievable

- As the days go by, suggest reducing verbal briefing for each step to let us learn to be more independent so we can do at home

- Definitely stronger and more toned up now, well worth the effort

- RM300 too cheap

- Indra’s food is yummy and a great motivation to attend class J

• Yvonne Lim:

- Thank you very much to all teachers at SunYoga. I love the vegetarian meal and smoothies and my back is not that pain now.

- Now, I find that doing yoga everyday is not that “impossible” J thank you so much!

• Alice:

- Feels lighter, a bit more flexible

- A particular joint pain vanished

- Added wrist, knee and elbow pains J

- A good fellowship as everyone talks about one common aspect, i.e pain from doing yoga and the person will always have remedies and ideas on how to overcome it

- May be jamming session should not be conducted right after class. Give about half to an hour time frame between the two activities as it is extremely distracting due to loud talking/laughing and incessant walking in and out between entrance and kitchen

• Caryn:

- First 2 weeks quite confusing as Erin and Indra taught different things but after Indra clarified the different poses it was easier to follow

- Very happy that I lost 4 kg..yahoo!!!

- Can manage the dolphin pose without the bandage now ha! ha!

Thank you Erin and Indra!

• Eke:

This 30 days Yoga Challenge has got me back on track to a fitness and healthy living. Yahoo!

These are the changes that has improved and now I love the new me, well same old me but with a tighter and healthier body J

- Definitely more flexible. Can bend with ease

- Stamina has improved could do my 10Km run without panting. It was steady and I managed good timing for it

- Flabby areas are more toned

- Can fit into my old clothes. Don’t feel like I have to squeeze into them anymore

- Don’t feel bloated anymore. BONUS!

- More conscious of what I eat and definitely try to eat healthy. Thanks to Indra’s yummy dishes even when I go out to eat or do groceries, I only buy healthy ingredients and only once in a while I will have a cheat day to eat some non-healthy goods

- I love that my skin is smoother and hair seems more bouncy. Thanks to the sesame and coconut oils

- My face looks more alive, radiant and the pimples are kept at bay

- Mood is more upbeat and full of energy

- Towards the end of my challenge, got lazy but still pushed myself not to miss too many classes

- Enjoyed the classes taught by Erin and Indra

 Thank you ladies!

 PS: Glad you pushed us even though there were days we were lazy especially on those leg lifts and dolphin poses

What Teens practitioners says: 

Amanda:

Yoga is a good exercise for me because it increases my flexibility and strengthens my arm muscle. After yoga, I will get very tired and hurt everywhere but its worth it because after the pain I will have lots of energy for things…And I will feel proud whenever I can do a pose. But the bad thing is the next day you will hurt al over and your muscle will stiffen

Nicole:

' YOGA FOR LIFE ' :) yoga makes me feel relaxed and calm. especially when we were doing the ' rama dasa ' song .  i really enjoyed it and had fun learning the hand signs you taught me. another thing about yoga i like is, it makes a person accept things more openly. it helps u lower down ur temper and helps a person calm his/ her mind when u get nervous in some situations.
 
the benefits i get from yoga is the poses. yea, the poses helped me with my flexibility alot. at first it was a little torturing ,cause we had to stone awhile on a certain pose ,but bit by bit i got used to it . now i could touch the floor without bending my knees and do more variety of poses ! i also got to learn many different kinds of interesting poses such as the warrior pose and the most difficult pose : the crow. at first when you started teaching me that pose i had trouble doing it ,after tons of practice i managed to get it right :) yoga also helped me become calm and stress-free mentally and physically. now i dont feel so nervous getting my exam results :x
 
all i know is, yoga makes peace to the world. if everyone gets into yoga, the world surely will become a better place . thats what i think :) im sure that i'll continue yoga untill i get old xD  i also hope we can see each other soon :D
 
' YOGA MAKES PEACE , YOGA IS PEACE '  
 
To my most dedicated yoga teacher - Teacher Indra :)     
 

I had practiced with Indra and enjoyed every minute of it. Indra is a very dedicated teacher, who is passionate about her teaching, sharing with everyone her profound knowledge in Yoga.

I felt very calm during her classes as Indra exudes very positive energy when teaching and I felt rejuvenated after her class. She has a pleasant personality which makes her classes fun but challenging at the same time.

I am sure that everyone will benefit tremendously with Indra.

(Ivy Tan)

Indra is a great teacher. It's her patience and compassion that make her class relaxed and enjoyable environment in which to learn. Every practice with her is a rewarding experience.

Namaste,
(Agnes)

 "i've been practicing yoga under the guidance of indra for the past two years and i find her to be a very good teacher. indra has this ability to motivate you without going overboard. she also makes it a point to remember each and every practicioner's strengths and weaknesses so that she will pay more attention to different practicioner when we try different poses. she also likes to introduce new poses almost every single week and she motivates us to go deeper into the pose, or to make it more challenging for us. i have benefited tremendously from yoga with the help from indra. thank you!"

(Felicia)

I have been a practitioner of yoga with Indra and Sun Yoga for about the last 18 months to 2 years. The place has been an inspiration to me in finding yoga and great warm, caring people. Yoga has been such a huge gift for me and I have found great refuge in it. I am much fitter, feel healthier but it is much more than just a physical state of awareness for me, certainly my character has calmed down and my focus and concentration in my life has improved. I cannot imagine being without it now. I wish Sunyogakl the success for the future that it truly deserves, and wish to thank all involved.
Om Shanti
