Yoga+

Dina Gomez

Student of the Month - February 

I have been practicing yoga since November of 2010.  My practice became a lot more regular when Yoga Plus opened last February of 2011.

Our Managing Director, Dinah Salonga, introduced us to yoga.  She kept on preaching about its benefits to our mind and body.  I got the first taste of yoga when she conducted her practice teaching.  I really enjoyed it and since then, I’ve been a yoga addict!

With yoga, I learned to be calm and more patient (little improvements at a time, but I’m sure I’m getting there).  I do deep breathing to improve my focus.  It did not only help my body to become a little bit more flexible but I also learned to appreciate what it can do for me.  It’s really amazing to feel my improvement everyday.

The fact that I know the benefits of my practice keeps me coming back for more.  At Yoga Plus, I get to practice Hot A, Hot B, Flow, Heated Flow and just recently, Ashtanga. I really look forward to a different practice everyday.

My favorite posture?  A lot!  Because it differs everyday, depending on the state of my body.  I’m also really looking forward to perfecting the standing bow.  I'd like to do the tripod headstand, handstand and crow in the near future.

I like the mix of schedule every morning, I get to practice different kinds of yoga everyday. I like the teachers, they are very helpful and they provide information about the poses, aside from giving us inspiration.  I like the facilities and the staff, they are very friendly.  What else can I ask for?  Probably opening more studios, especially in Makati!
