About Yoga Ink
Hello, my name is Jean Leow and I’m the founder of Yoga Ink.
Yoga Ink was started in 2020. After a lifetime in corporate work, I made a decision to teach yoga full-time and to dedicate myself to doing something that would hold meaning and purpose for me. I had spent 5 years volunteering in an aged care home for dementia residents and what I saw touched me deeply. I realised how important it is to maintain physical mobility and mental clarity as we grow older. We may not be able to control many things in our lives, but we can at least nurture our bodies and minds and take care of these precious gifts for as long as we can.
It was my Dad who first suggested that I try yoga. When I started learning yoga in 2009, I had an irregular heart beat and couldn’t touch my toes. I tried different yoga schools and after my first Iyengar yoga class, I knew this was the one for me. The sense of focus, resilience and calmness that Iyengar yoga cultivates has helped me face numerous challenges in my life.
I am very grateful for the guidance of my teachers: Linda Apps in Dulwich Hill where I first started yoga and to my current teacher Peter Thomson, Senior Iyengar teacher who inspires me with his teachings, instilling a yoga practice culture that reflects our core value of honesty, courage and compassion both for ourselves and others.
I have always been surrounded by women who were strong, kind, smart, and fiercely independent – my beloved Grandmother, my best friend Beng Cheng and my dearest Mum. Sadly, they each faced grave illness and pain at their journeys’ end. I am inspired by their courage, their kindness and for everything they have taught me. Yoga Ink is dedicated to all these wonderful women.
