journey of a thousand miles begins with...

Namaste to all, as requested by JK, here's my short intro,

My name is Ramesh Arumugam and I'm 39 years old. Before embarking on this new journey, I was a cabin crew with Malaysia Airlines. Doing the job for 15 years allowed me to go to places, meeting people of different race, religion, language and etc. It's part of my life filled with lots of excitement and fun but in terms of career advancement I was heading nowhere.

Presently I'm involved in running an Ayurvedic Healing Centre which focuses on Panchakarma & rejuvenation treatments. It is entirely a different ball game altogether but I enjoy every moment of it knowing that someone can be helped with this knowledge.  Why am I doing TTC? Yoga brings different meaning to different people, as for me it helps me to be well grounded, more focused, improve my patience and tolerance level. Further to that proper knowledge of the art can help me to help others in improving their wellness conditions.

As a person generally I'm cool, calm and crazy (fun loving), easy to be with, reliable, sociable. I love group activities over individual tasks. I always believe that every moment of our life counts, make it meaningful, as when they're gone you can't change a thing.

Hope this intro will provide some perspective about me..tq



Short Intro About Myself

As required by JK for the new TTC batch, here it goes.


Name: Wendy Teo
Age: Above 30
Nationality: Malaysian
Status: Married, 1 son
Current Job: Pricing Analyst in Dell
Merit: ex KL swimmer
As a Virgoan, I am reflective and receptive to others' ideas, but typically a 'thinker' rather than a 'doer'. I have a talent in precision and details, yet a very bad memory for the same if they were not written down. A perfectionist in certain things, and thus highly sensitive to perceived criticism--which I am still learning to deal with. Therefore I think I might like Iyengar Yoga, which requires correct body alignment, sequence, and timing (and that's all I know about it!)
Lesson in life: To err is human, to forgive divine
Short term plan: To pass this course and become a Yoga Teacher instantly!

Adventure with Sun Yoga

My life is full of various of adventure. Same as yours.

Last Summer, 2011. We moved to Malaysia from U.A.E.. I'm a mom, wife and new expatriate in Malaysia. After accepting invitation from Sun Yoga YTT blog, my old blog unexpectedly pop up. Wow! It was 5yrs ago when the last one was posted and I totally forgot it ever existed. I was amazed by all the old time memories and life in Canada that I had experienced. I savored few posts as few nice brewed cups of tea. Time flies like an arrow(光陰似箭).
I was planning sign up JK'S prenatal&Sun kids yoga when I was in U.A.E.. in 2011 but my son, Evan, was still quite young. The plan did not come true with some degree of regret at the time.

But fate or Karma pull this option even deeper when I moved to Malaysia. Evan and I was fortunately to observed previous YTT in Bandar Utama and met JK in person. My heart was pounding fast when I realized JK was actually the person whom I failed managed to met in U.A.E..

I randomly read few chapters of Jk's Sri Pantanjali. Lot of positive feedback and similar Buddhism teaching that I learned when I was a little girl, (my mom was a buddhist). After comparing few YTT studios in KL. The button of my heart tells me that Jk shares her belief in Yoga with life honestly, humorously, truthful and wisely. That's what attract me to decide start my adventure of Sun Yoga YTT with her.
