May 30 Day Challenge "Post Mortem"

As morbid as the title may seem, it is THE exact opposite. There were tons of sweat, playful banter of laughter and fruitful time spent all mixed into the May 30 Day Challenge and it turned out GREAT!

I would first of all like to congratulate each and everyone of the participants and hope they will carry on each of their individual Yoga journey.

The beautiful thing about Yoga is that it is for everyone and it can be learnt from any teacher anywhere in the world. Unlike other activities that may confined you to learn from the best of the best.

I would now like to present to you the May 30 Day Challenge Participants Feedback

*Note: They are in no specific order or preference.

Karen Leu: I think my body's flexibility has increased and my pimples and acne on my face has gotten lesser too!! :)

Liza: Overall, a good program. I never expect that I can really sweat that much just by doing Yoga. Lily is a good instructor, very systematic approach towards the sequence and stretching thereafter. Looking forward to the next challenge.

Jayne Lee: Although this time, the routine is not as fun and "flowy" as the previous 30 Day Challenge, I still enjoyed myself. Lily has amazing abilities to pace the routine within the hour to make it enjoyable. I look forward to the next challenge. :)

Alice Er: This month's sequence made me feel fitter and relaxed after the exercise. As I changed to the morning regime from my usual evening regime, I have had a deeper sleep. Body feels much toner especially the arms and thighs.

Dhamiri: The 30 Day Yoga Challenge has improved my body strength tremendously. My arms, shoulders, abs, thighs, lower back have become lean and firm and it helps me in my capoeira training. My balancing has also improved. The food diet has benefited me as it is so delicious and yummy. When I first started the challenge, I found it difficult but after a while I got used to the "flow". I regularly do Yoga at Celebrity Fitness and I also found it easier to do the poses after attending the workouts at Sun Yoga. Finally, the teachers were great too and cheers to them all.

Jassy: This is my 3rd 30 Day Challenge. This round we have a new sequence, which focused a lot on hip opening, forward bend and chest opening. At the beginning, the sequence seemed not in syn as there are sit down postures followed by standing postures and then sit down postures again. But as we moved into the 2nd week, the postures seem to complement each other. By the 3rd week, some of the balancing postures that I was struggling in the beginning, such as the half moon, I could do it quite effortlessly now. All I can say is, overall the new sequences are remarkable. The saying "Never judge the book by its cover" is just so true here. The 30 Day Challenge is a good way to ensure we get the daily exercise dosage, and I enjoyed every minute of the 1hr yoga practice. As usual Lily & Erin are still at the best. Keep up the good work! Will miss Erin's healthy meals until next 30 Day Challenge, which I hope we don't have to wait too long. Namaste, till the next 30 Day Challenge =)

Shashi: Found classes to be good. I think my stamina has increased. Felt good after classes. Would have preferred to have fully trained instructors for all classes, though some of the trainers were okay but they did not help us in our moves step by step. Otherwise it was a good 30 Days Challenge.

Chris Chey: I am so glad that I enrolled myself into this 30 Days Challenge. My initial thought at the start of the challenge of was to get slimmer but what I actually achieved at the end of the challenge was definitely beyond my expectations. I can feel my body is much slimmer and firmer. Generally, I have much more strength and of course, flexible now. You should see how I struggled on my first day. Mentally, I am more confident in myself and feel more motivated not only in my fitness but also my day-to-day life. What I have learnt: There is nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it. "If you can't balance today like others, it doesn't mean you can never do it. It might take more effort and a longer time; eventually you'll still get there. Erin is a great Yoga teacher as well as a friend (she cooks really well too). I did not attend all the 30 classes (which I should have) but yet I can feel a great change in my physical self and mentally. I am definitely looking forward for my next 30 Day Challenge! Do keep the night classes, ya?
