Pardeep

- Founder Jal Yoga

Hatha 1, 2 (Infra), Vinyasa 1, 2 (Infra), Yin Yoga, Neck, Back & Shoulder, Hip Opening, Shoulder Opening, Restorative Yoga

Pardeep's calling to Yoga didn’t come easy; many of life’s hardships were thrown at him before he discovered this path. And this came only in 2008, when he embarked on a Yoga retreat with his colleague.

It was during this retreat when realisation struck. The people he met provided enlightened perspectives and philosophies made him realised he needed to turn things around; Yoga brought on this awareness.

Pardeep then embarked on a journey to wellness - Yoga, bodybuilding and even Taiji; all were explored. He travelled to many countries, entering competitions at national and international levels. That’s when he realised that regardless of workout type, his foundation in Yoga helped. He then travelled world-wide, learning from the best ashrams, institutions and schools.

With that, he has taught in many places, both overseas and in Singapore, and truly believes that to practice Yoga is to serve. After all these years, his passion has not dwindled; Jal Yoga is his baby, his platform, to share and to help others embark on a journey for a healthier, happier, life.

Hazel

Hazel Cheong

Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Kinetic Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Wheel Yoga, Yin Yoga, Aroma Yoga

Her inspiration for practicing Yoga came from her mother as a child; she fell in love immediately after her first class. She experienced the benefit of combining movement, strength building and stretching, and the breathing practices also alleviated her allergic rhinitis symptoms.

Her journey taught her about body awareness, alignment, balance, health, love, and also, a way of life. She has practiced, studied and trained with some of the kindest, most talented and inspiring teachers from around the world. She practiced classical Yoga, covering Hatha, Vinyasa, Slow Yoga and Ashtanga Yoga, under the tutelage of Mahayogi Jani Jaatinen. It was under the guidance and support from her favoured and respected teachers Lily Aw and Jani Jaatinen that she decided to teach Yoga in 2013.

Throughout her teaching journey, she is very proud to have a group of lovely students, aged 3-80 years old. Students always find her energetic and powerful; classes leave them feeling comfortable, refreshed and renewed.

Having seen and experienced the positive changes Yoga brings, she hopes more people can benefit from this beautiful practice. She is humbled to share her knowledge and provide guidance to help others progress along their Yoga journey.

Perlen

Perlen Lee

Yin Yoga, Sound Bath, 26 & 2, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Heart Healing, Rehabilitative Yoga

Perlen wasn’t always a Yoga instructor - she started with her own fashion business. A one-man show for 15 years, she was feeling the aches, mental exhaustion and stress.

Her life changed when she attended a fasting camp, where one of the main activities was Yin Yoga. Through this, she realised it was what she needed; her mind and body were well rested thereafter. She was also inspired by her teacher, who was filled with love and positive energy. Thereon, she started using Yoga and Hypnotherapy to heal herself.

She didn’t have the instructor mindset initially; when she was young, she suffered massive body trauma during ice skating. However, after the birth of her second child in 2013, she decided to start taking teaching courses. 6 years on, she looks to inspire her students to be their own teacher and healer.

When not practicing, she loves to spend time discovering the world. She has a passion to learn, enjoying books on transformation and spirituality.

Rachel

Rachel Mah

Advanced, Core, Power Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation, Yin Yoga, Restoration Yoga, Wheel Yoga, Aerial Yoga

Rachel started Yoga as an alternative body conditioning to complement her marathon training during her school days. This allowed her to perform better by unlocking an even greater range of movement, endurance, stability and power.

After 10 years climbing the corporate ladder, she decided to take a break and pursued her first 200hr Yoga Teacher Training Course in 2006. Realisation dawned - Yoga was her true calling. It is beyond just complicated poses; it is to understand the purpose of life, and the connection between body, mind and soul. It is a philosophy that changed her way of life.

Always fun and entertaining, filled with clear-cut instructions, Rachel’s classes hold a certain challenge that students are determined to overcome. They leave feeling rejuvenated physically and mentally, and she urges them to come with an open mind to enjoy and experience the gradual transformation. She strongly believes that correct breathing methods will eliminate pain, bringing joy and peace of mind.

When not teaching or practicing, Rachel enjoys cycling, rock climbing, diving, skiing, trekking and hiking around the world.

Basava

Basava Raj

Yin Yoga, Hatha Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga, Hip Opening, Neck, Back and Shoulder, Restorative Yoga, Wheel Yoga, Power Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation, Yogic Kriyas

Hailing from Gadag, Karnataka in India, Basava has been practicing Yoga for the past 6 years. His motivation to start stemmed from the loss of his beloved grandma to bronchial asthma. It was after this tragedy that he learnt the benefits of Yoga - it could help people with this condition, and that if he had known about it earlier, it could have helped her as well.

With this knowledge at the back of his mind, he soon got the opportunity to practise it during his college days. It was during his practice that he realised it was also beneficial to him. From then on, besides reading, Yoga became his other passion. Influenced by his guru, his holiness Yogacharya Baseveshwara Swamiji, as well as to help others lead a healthy and peaceful life based on his own experience, he thus studied traditional and scientific Yoga in the Gurukul system. He then obtained a Master's degree in Yoga therapy and follows the techniques of Mysore Ashtanga Yoga.

Being in Singapore for the past one year, he hopes to spread the word on the benefits Yoga can bring to them. He wants to help others better their lives and their well-being, leading them on a journey that will improve whatever the situation they are in.

Qualifications
• M.Sc in Yogic Science, 2018
• Certificate Course in Yoga Studies (CYS), 2015

Pranava

Pranava Kabberahalli

Hatha, Astanga, Vinyasa, Power Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Aerial Yoga, Wheel Yoga, Chair Yoga, Pranayama & Meditation, Kriyas (Cleansing Techniques),
Yoga Therapy, Hip Opening

Pranava started off his Yoga journey in 2005. To him, it wasn’t just a form of exercise; it was a part of his culture and thus a journey he wanted to be part of. Along the way, it benefited him when he was a student. It is upon seeing how it helped him that he decided to take this further, to the public, and helping them keep healthy.

One of his favourite poses, the handstand, is both calming and energising. It also helps to build strength both mentally and physically. With that, he tries to incorporate it in his classes as much as possible. He is always learning, not only using the handstand in his transitional poses but thinking of new ideas of how to use it, and sharing with his students.

Pranava strongly believes in his student’s abilities: If you are not good at something, don't just ignore it but try to focus on it. Always stay committed to your practices and try to stay focused while you practising. Successful students always focus on the tasks at hand.

When not teaching or practicing Yoga, Pranava indulges in his hobbies - photography and listening to music.

Melva

Mat & Reformer Pilates

I'm fully certified in Stotts Pilates, and firmly believe that every physical body can be strengthened right through to the core targeted muscles.

With good understanding of the participants' needs and physical fitness background, I aim to help my participants achieve their individual fitness goals through my thorough instructions and personalized programme in the realm of Pilates.

Kimberly

"There are no limits in our lives. We are the only ones able to create our own space-time. We are all able to go beyond what we believe but we always need a direction and for me it is yoga."

Kimberly

Aerial Yoga

I started the practice of Yoga in 2006 and found it to be a tool to facilitate awareness while reaping the physical and physiological benefits. The transformation I received over the years through regular Yoga practice has honed my focus and refined in building both the physical and psychological strength to assimilate changes in my life. I am fuelled by passion to share this gift of knowledge to all who seek to gain strength, flexibility, relieve tension so as to become more mindful, centered and poise in life.

In 2012, I started teaching the aerial hammock to complement Yoga practice. In the practice, students develop strength and flexibility in both body and mind. Students learn to let go of fears and safely invert, stretch tight muscles and execute comfortable back arches simply by using body weight correctly on the hammock. I am community oriented and had served in community projects in Kolkata and Manila. My classes are interactive, lively and fun.

Joanna

"Energetic, encouraging and fun, I fully believe in everyone's potential to recharge and revitalize themselves through the graceful energy of momentum found in high energy workouts."

Joanna

Barre & Mat Pilates

Coupling mindful movement with the freedom and spontaneity of play, my classes are inspired by the freedom of dance and games.

I hope to bring joy in movement and help people build confidence in their bodies by focusing on mind-body awareness, great posture, and having fun!

Incorporating techniques with a solid basis on scientific research and anatomy, my classes help to minimize any strain on the body, helping people move through life with ease, extend their range of mobility, and build their strength within a healthy zone.
