Jean, YOGA INK, is a fabulous yoga instructor. I have been attending her classes for 12 months now. She is dedicated, caring and attentive. Jean takes the time to explain the purpose and technique behind every stretch and pose, ensuring we understand why and how to do it correctly. She notices even small misalignments, correcting us to ensure we get the benefit and stay safe. Highly, Highly recommend.

I have been attending Jean’s yoga for seniors class for a couple of months. Jean is very attentive and professional. Some of the poses can be challenging but we are guided through each one and supported with a good explanation of how our bodies work. I’ve found the practice very beneficial physically and mentally. It also complements my Pilates work.

Jean is an excellent instructor and really gives not only clear instructions but also adds an explanation why it is important and the benefits to our bodies. Jean is very aware of certain difficulties some students have and why it is so important not to overdo some exercises. The classes are always enjoyable which is a good reason to keep attending. Thank you Jean. Jan Q.

After nearly a year with Jean at Yoga Ink, both my flexibility and balance have improved. I have become more aware of the communication between my mind and my body. The class has a flow. Jean supports me to meet the yoga challenges & encourages me to try harder. I look forward each week to come to class & the hour flys by.

As I am in my 80s I was looking to improve my flexibility and balance. Happily I was introduced to Jean Leow's Chair Yoga class and haven't looked back. Jean's class can be a challenge at times but she caters to everyone's individual needs and encourages us on our journey to better health and understanding of our bodies. I especially like the short meditation at the end of each session. Thank you Jean for your patience and support. Carolyn.

I started attending Jean's chair yoga classes about 15 months ago. One of the best decisions of my life. I feel stronger, more flexible and even calmer. Jean is a great teacher. She names the poses, gives us detailed instructions on how to and what to expect from a certain pose. She is a patient teacher, very genuine and focused on each individual person in front of her to ensure they get the best from her class no matter what personal limits they may have. I would not hesitate to recommend Jean to anyone seeking a yoga teacher.

About Yoga Ink


Jean Leow, Owner 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.
