Chin Rei started practicing in 2005 and found her way to a Bikram Yoga class in 2008. 

 

"I found myself decimated in a pool of sweat after the class and I must have been flat out on the mat for at least 15 mins before I felt confident that my legs had sufficiently recovered to wobble out of class but I also felt something profound that evening. Practicing quickly became the highlight at the end of a workday. I found the class fun and challenging and I always feel better after practice. Within 9 months, I found the adult acne problem that I had been struggling with for well over a decade completely cleared up. An annual health check also confirmed that I had "grown" by a centimetre. 4 years later, I tendered my resignation to attend the 9 weeks of intensive Bikram Yoga teacher training in 2012 and I have been teaching since. It still is the most effective way I know to mentally reboot and recharge. I am delighted to be paying it forward by sharing this amazing practice which has brought me transformation, self knowledge, greater joy and a more equanimous mind."
