Shape Singapore|December 2016

She may be svelte, strong and confident, but yoga instructor Jasmine Chong has had her fair share of body issues. She opens up about her crazy past, and how to stay slim the healthy way.

CHATTING UP... Jasmine Chong

You wouldn’t expect someone as slender as Jasmine Chong to have any misgivings about her body. Yet the 27-year-old founder of Yoga Lab – which has studios on Hong Kong Street and Duxton Road – reveals that she once ate only watermelon for two weeks in a quest to lose weight. Today, she’s an epitome of balance, loving her favourite mee pok as much as yoga. (Head to her Instagram account @jasmine_ yoga for some serious yoga inspiration!) Jasmine’s also an Adidas athlete, so don’t be surprised to see her at various sports events.

What motivated you to start Yoga Lab?

I strongly believe that everyone deserves yoga. No one should be excluded from its benefits because they cannot afford to do it. It has been marketed as a luxury in this part of Asia, but you don’t need much to do it. You just need a willing heart and an open mind.

What do you love most about yoga?
