SIBU: Yoga instructor Annie Lau is inviting women here to have a shot at practising yoga to improve their shape while enjoying many health benefits.

Yoga offers health benefits by developing your flexibility, strength, and balance, she said, adding that what came after would be a beautifully contoured figure.

When Annie came to know about yoga in 2006, she was very interested. She started to learn more about yoga through reading and consulting yoga practitioners.

Her enthusiasm led her to several training courses, which culminated in one particular training programme in Kuala Lumpur where she attained the status of a qualified yoga instructor.

Annie has just been engaged by the Solid Gym in Tapang Timur Road here as an instructor for the yoga class which began on Jan 16.

Assisting her at the inaugural class, which saw 26 students, was Stella Wong who doubled as the instructor of the aerobic class at the same gym.

The yoga class is scheduled for Wednesday and Friday from 6pm for about one hour 15 minutes while the aerobic class is held every Tuesday and Thursday at 6pm and every Sunday and public holiday at 4pm.

Both the yoga and aerobic classes are open to women members of Solid Gym with no surcharge on their monthly membership subscription fee.

Annie said her class emphasised postures (poses) and breathing exercises. There are various styles of yoga, and typically they combine physical postures, breathing techniques, and meditation or relaxation, she explained.
