My Yoga & Teaching

  Josephine Chia
   

For me, yoga is a living practice, every single hour, every single day in my ordinary everyday life. It is my way of trying to understand why I am here and how I can fulfill what I came here to do. It is also my journey towards understanding the Big Picture.

Yoga is not just about Body Work but it is also about Mind Work. I try to explore this in my book, Body And Mind Sculpture. So yoga is an integrated system - bodywork is not separate from mindwork. Many of our physical and mental problems can be minimized by yoga. My teaching developed from my own ill health and search for peace of mind. Since I worked as an Assistant Nurse in hospitals and clinics for seven years, I’m at ease with people in different physical states. Combined with my yoga experience, it is logical for me to work on a one-to-one situation, using yoga as a therapy to help certain conditions, particularly backache, asthma and other breathing problems, high blood pressure, digestive problems and stress. As I myself am over fifty, I design special yoga programmes for the Over 50s. I am not an Enlightened Being or a Great Guru, just an ordinary person who is still learning as I go along, from other wise Teachers but putting their teachings into practice in everyday language.
