You may not have heard of Singapore-based yoga teacher, Jasmine Chong, but it’s time to take note. The agile and fearless yogi has been practising for over seven years, and recently opened her own boutique studio, Yoga Lab.
“Through my yoga practice, I was able to ease my joint pains and therefore I strongly believes in helping my students nourish and heal their bodies through my classes. You will leave my class feeling stronger, recharged and renewed.”
Here, she talks all things food, fitness and fashion.
