Swasthya Yoga's Instructor at Celebrity Fitness

Well, on August 2008 there was a new yoga class, it’s Swasthya Yoga class and the instructor name is Chandra. I thought Chandra is the new yoga instructor, I don’t know that Chandra wasn’t new at all. She came to Jakarta 4 years ago but then moved to Surabaya for 2 years and went back to Jakarta again on August last year. I thought Chandra is a he but when I peeked at her class….OMG she’s so cute with her long hair and small posture. I joined her class the next week until now. She’s teaching Swasthya Yoga which is new to me. I also realized that Swasthya Yoga has no Sun Salutation movement, which is good because I’m not too into it anyway. Chandra told us that Swasthya Yoga has no Sun Salutation because Swasthya Yoga is ancient yoga, so this kind of yoga already exists before popular yoga like Hatha Yoga, Jaganatha, Ashtanga, etc. Makes me curious about its history, so I googled it and since Chandra is from Brazil, I think this is the link that match. In Brazil, Swasthya Yoga was introduced 4 decades ago by DeRose. Maybe she even know the people in the link. I also found a blog by Marcello Oliveira ( I wonder if he’s a Brazilian too ) that explains everything about Swasthya Yoga, I think his blog is very very thorough. I should ask Chandra to read it, because I’m stuck at the 58 Pranayamas. Actually I want to write about Swasthya Yoga history and poses but considering there’s 58 Pranayamas and other rather complicated explanation, well just click and read would be more efficient. The point is Swasthya Yoga is the only ( I repeat…the only ) yoga in the world that has eight angas, or parts…meaning the most complete. Maybe that’s why in every Swasthya Yoga class, the poses or the movements are almost different every week ( I thought Chandra do that poses and movements so that we’ve never got bored…lol ). And all of those poses and movements couldn’t be done in one hour class. I think it’s great that Celebrity Fitness has Swasthya Yoga class.

Miho's Class at La Piazza on March 18th, 2009

Guys, I just saw the announcement at La Piazza last week and Miho's backkk!! She and Celeb X Team will do Body Balance 44 launching on Wednesday, March 18th at 10am. Hmm Body Balance in the morning...nice huh?! I'm still looking for other Miho's class in EX or FX, anybody has info on that? Oh, one more thing, I think Miho will go to Japan, Nagoya to be exact on March 20th...hmmm that means 2 days after her class at La Piazza and she'll stay there until the end of the month.

Might see Miho again in Jakarta

If you want to hear some more new about Miho, please stay tune with me on my blog...I sound like anchor woman wannabe...lol! Well, Miho's toe is better now and she's already starting workout 3days ago. I told you guys that my blog is updated as soon as I heard from Miho so please don't change to any blog now (am I too pushy? hope not, for your own sake...lol). Miho told me that she slipped on the stairs because she got too much to wear and the small and narrow european style stairs. Her big toe joint came off because of that...I have to say this "OUCH!" and then rushed to the hospital to pull off and back in again. I'm sure the pain is unbearable but somehow she can managed. Poor Miho, she has to wear a lot of clothes because of the weather and ridiculously small stairs. But you know what her toe isn't 100% but she already start workout, if that's not a dedication, I don't know what is. I miss her class so much.
Now for the great news that we've been waiting for today's blog, Miho might come back to Jakarta for a week on March. I'm sure you all asking when is she going to be in Jakarta...well you will have to stay tuned in this blog for that...seriously! LOL! I'll let you guys know as soon as I heard.
