Before you knew her as the multi-hyphenate she is today – fitness entrepreneur, host, television presenter, and wife of Henry Golding – Liv Lo Golding was a fashion model. For 10 years of her life, she jetted in and out of Asia’s fashion capitols, and appeared in magazine editorials, commercials, and runway shows. However, the Italian-Taiwanese beauty realised early on that there was more to life than obsessing over whether she could fit into the next brand’s sample-sized clothing.

Interestingly, it was the fashion world and her previous jet-setting life that planted the first seed of environmentalism in Liv.

“Having traipsed around Asia’s biggest cities my whole life, I found that people – myself included – were getting out of touch with themselves and each other,” says the 34-year-old yoga enthusiast.

“I realised that this was a symptom, a sickness that resulted in us being disconnected as humans and it was very unhealthy. So I thought about what we shared that kept us alive – and it’s the natural world. We literally can’t survive as a human race if we didn’t have nature, which provides us with clean air to breathe, water to drink and food grown from earth’s soil.”

AIR SUPPLY

That realisation had far-reaching impact for Liv whose post-modelling founded her own fitness program, FitSphere, to allow her to get back to nature and herself. FitSphere combines light weights with yoga for a quick workout that builds strong, lean bodies. It also pays specific attention to breath work, which Liv says gives her life.
