Yoga began for me as just a casual remedy for back pain, with a trial class in a quaint lane house in Shanghai. The teacher's words, "Never compete, never compare," resonated deeply. The class was patient, detailed, gentle yet empowering, and I found myself wanting more.
Embracing Life's Ups and Downs Through Yoga
There was a time when each morning began with tears. Attending yoga felt like therapy, helping me face the day. I was fascinated by challenging poses that seemed impossible yet taught me to accept and grow from difficulty.
Connecting Through Yoga: Community and Creativity
Sharing my yoga-inspired doodles and thoughts revealed a community of like-minded souls. They weren’t just after perfect poses, but the ideas and processes within. This overwhelming response led to the birth of Sido, a reflection of our collective spirit.

I am strong
I'm amazed by the strength gained through bodyweight exercises in yoga. While I love the intensity of fast-paced sessions, the slow, mindful classes are equally transformative, teaching patience and mental resilience.
Being content is wonderfully simple. Practicing gratitude each night and choosing to see the good in life has become a nourishing habit.
Although my mind often wanders, yoga helps me center myself. Focusing on just one pose requires my complete attention – it's high maintenance in the best way.
One of my favorite teachers said, "Each piece of food contains the life of the sun and the earth." His teachings have inspired deep gratitude within me.
Learning gratitude helps in appreciating the small joys. Understanding that peace and joy come from within brings profound serenity.
