About Yoga Ink
Hello there, my name is Jean Leow and I’m the founder and owner of Yoga Ink.
I started Yoga Ink in 2020. Coming off what feels like a lifetime in corporate work, I made a decision to start 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 independence and mental agility 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 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, compassion and resilience that Iyengar yoga cultivates has helped me face numerous challenges along the way. I am very grateful for the experience and I hope to facilitate some of what I have learnt to those who may need it most.
I have always been surrounded by women who were strong, kind, smart, and fiercely independent – my beloved Grandmother, my best friend and my dearest Mum. Sadly, they each faced grave illness and tremendous pain at their journeys’ end. I am inspired by their courage to walk their paths bravely and for everything they have taught me. Yoga Ink is dedicated to all these wonderful women.
