Deeply committed to giving back to the community, Wendy is the founder and director of Yoga Circle SG and Yoga Seeds, teaching yoga and meditation in various settings in Singapore and Asia for more than a decade. She is the Lead trainer for Yoga Seeds 200hr / 300hr Teacher Training and also the Programme Director for Yoga Circle’s adaptive and accessible yoga programmes. With her background in Classical Hatha, Ashtanga, Yin and Adaptive yoga, Wendy develops holistic and accessible yoga programmes to cater to all, making yoga truly inclusive.
After more than ten years of practicing yoga as a way to complement her running and fitness regime, Gwen left the corporate world and embraced her new role as a yoga teacher. She has seen first-hand how proper conditioning through yoga is able to help people with common joint pains, and she hopes to do the same through teaching yoga. Trained in Hatha, Yin and Yoga Therapy, Gwen teaches a variety of yoga classes with emphasis on building strength and flexibility, cultivating calmness in body and mind, both on and off the mat.
Trained in various styles of yoga including Hatha, Yin, Anatomy and Adaptive Chair yoga, Melody is a big advocate of karma yoga by being involved in charity activities and volunteerism. Yoga isn’t only about flexibility and looking cool, it’s about being yourself on your mat, connecting your breathing, letting go of ego, focusing on your practice and getting closer to experiencing your inner self. Melody believes that learning and practicing yoga is a lifelong journey.
