Whoever came up with this 30-day challenge idea is brilliant!
The demo class by Jacqueline was so fun... bend and kiss your knees muuaks muuaks :).. I knew I would be enhoying the 30 day classes. Not knowing now, I'm actually looking forward to join another 30-day challenge!
The effects I get from the 30-day yoga?.. I attended the morning sessions more than the evening classes. And my routine was waking up at 6.30 am for the 7.30 am yoga session, go to work and go back home only around midnight. Coincidentally this month, i had to work with only a couple of rest days. So, the same cycle repeats daily. What surprises me is, I found I has more energy than ever. And I smile more :), and easily too :). I walk with better posture now, and I can feel the force of energy within. I really didn't expect these. The feeling is just WOW...
Thank you Erin for sharing with us the book by David Byck "It's a LONG way to the Floor". And excellent book.
Thank you Indra for the extra tips and different ways to enhance our flexibility. And of course not forgetting the yummy food and smoothies. Didn't know healthy food can taste so yummy!
Kudos to Erin and Indra. Both are marvelous teachers! Their calm, soothing voice is a magnet!
I can't wait for the next class, and I will definitely return for more!

1. To complete the 30 days is a challenge. Try not to miss a single day as it is easier to give onself excuses once you start missing a lesson.
2. The combination of 2 instructors makes it interesting as they have their individual style/approach (not so boring).
3. The methodoly and repetitive ways Erin approaches makes it easy to remeber the steps. The holding 1 minutes for a particular pose, I am sure, is very good for some muscles but is very strenuous on my old bones and muscles ha! ha!. Wonder if anybody really holds 1 minute! Thanks for reminding us which part of our body is getting slimmer!!
4. The creative way that Indra approaches make yoga more of an Art. It makes the class interesting as I feel that yoga is like a continuous flow... but when I go back, I realise that hey! I have worked some hidden muscles!

I have enjoyed all the sessions that I've attended (yes.. unfortunately it was not all 30 :)). Each session has kept me 'rejuvenated' throughout the day, and looking forward to the next.
Thank you Erin and Indra! :)

Angie Lim :
These 30 days has "open" my eyes for yoga (one who knows nothing about it).
Enjoy every moment though feeling "tired" the last week of the month (due t0 my hectic working activities).
The last 3 weeks, I am contented that my arms are more toned (even muscles! :)). The waist line not so flabby and so is the area around the underarm.
Enjoyed the smoothies and the healthy food prepared by Indra!!!

Shahnaz Baharuden :
I feel like the biggest challenge is making time to come everyday, especially since my working schedule is not fixed. However, I've discovered that I am still quite flexible and able to do most of the poses despite not doing yoga for a while. I do see myself improving day by day.

Foo Kuhan :
- Although I've got the worse truancy record, it's a good workout. Cover all bases.
- Speed in class sometimes slow and when it's a daily occasion tends to get boring ( at the beginning 2 weeks).
- Good to use on away trips like me.
- Not all moves used in classes (seemed to alternate. Maybe I missed something?)

Jessie Chew :
Joining the 30-day Yoga Challenge helped me "kick-start" yoga back into my life. I stopped yoga 2 years back due to a hectic lifestyle. The instanteneous difference I felt was peaceful & sound sleep.
Indra and Erin are warm and dedicated instructors. They make the sessions relaxed yet effective. I will miss Indra when she takes her 1-year leave of abscence. I intend to resume weekly yoga after the Xmas/New Year hols.
Thank you, Indra & Erin for helping me resume yoga again
Namaste

First would like to say thank you to Indra & Erin at SunYoga. This yoga challenge programme is great for beginner. I has never done yoga prior to my experience with SunYoga. Yoga has changed my life and reduce my health problem on my medication.
My posture has improved a bit and I am getting my shape and waist back. I've lost some weight just a little bit only. I think about 1.5kg because I sweat a lot but my legs still not that strong and muscles not that tone. Maybe coz it is just a 30-day challenge. In the meantime, I will keep up my yoga everyday in the morning and also now. I think I can do it on my own for the next month at home.
I completely enjoyed it. I wish Indra could teach me again but she is away in year 2010.
The teacher teaching is fantastic and it was great to take your class. Than Indra and also thanks for all the vegetarian food and smoothies drinks. It really help on my health problem.
Thank you so much, Indra and Erin. Wish there will be another day in January 2010 but I prefer morning class ya haha.

Araventh :
I'm really glad that I came for this 30-day challenge, as it has kept me to a habitual programme and made me resist the temptation of taking a break. This programme has made more more disciplined and made me manage time effectively. I came from Subang Jaya so I have to be here by 7am so that i skip the LDP traffic jam, so basically I have to wake up at 6am. After going through this programme also, I have become more flexible, more energetic and enthusiastic as well. I think I have lost a bit of weight, and my body has become more toned and stronger. The instructors, Indra and Erin, are very helpful and has guided me without fail. The whole class have thoroughly enjoyed the teachings and the humour/jokes that comes between teachings. Too bad Miss Indra is leaving and Ms. Erin has be in charge :). If there was a December session, I would have definitely joined, but too bad. Maybe I will join the January session if everything permits. Last but not least, SunYoga rocks!! Keep up the good work!

Thara Anisha :
It was fun and different learning yoga. Indra and Erin were good instructors, they made the poses feel easier with guidance throughout the weeks. Oh and the food that Indra made were delicious and very mouth watering. Furthermore out of all the sports I have participated in school and etc, not one of them made me sweat as much as yoga. And yoga definitely made me more flexible.
