My boy just completed the 1 week mindful space camp. To be honest, he wasn't really looking forward to it initially as he thought it would be boring. After the 1st day, he actually couldn't wait to attend the next day's class!

After the camp, I can tell he is trying very hard to incorporate the values he learnt from the camp into his daily routine. Am very happy to receive a very detailed report of his behaviour and the difficulties he faced and how he managed to overcome those during the camp. It helps me to understand my child a little bit better too. There were also suggestions on how we could further support our child in areas that he is not strong in. The trainers are all very friendly and approachable too.

I'm very glad I came across this camp. My child had alot of fun and he learnt alot. We could actually see a difference in his behaviour in the short span of 5 days. Thank you and please continue doing what you do!

Deciding to sign my 13-year-old up for a three-day camp with Mindful Space was on the spur of the moment. Dreading to have a naturally sedentary teen growing roots on the TV couch during the June holidays, I was intrigued when I read about Mindful Space's programme, particularly their aerial yoga activity.

Those three days came and went, and as usual, I didn't get a lot of information out of a teen apart from the fact that he had a lot of fun and wasn't bothered by the large age gap with his camp mates.

Then a week later, I received a post-camp message from Mindful Space.

Oh my, it is by far, the most detailed and best post-camp review I’ve ever read. True to their business name, someone took the time and effort to mindfully communicate to me about my child and his time at the camp. Not only was the message kind and thoughtful, but it was definitely on point about what kind of person he is, and the areas in which we can continue to help him flourish.

One of the "wow" moments for my child was how he attempted and succeeded in doing a handstand. To some parents of naturally well-coordinated and active kids, this may not seem like much, but for my child, it was huge. He was so surprised and proud of himself - for trying and overcoming. From the note, I especially love how the teachers were able to identify a huge learning point for him through this activity - there was an acknowledgement of fear, followed by an acceptance of self, before embarking on the actual learning of the technique and continual practice.

In our busy, modern society, many people, including adults, get buried with the "doing" but missed out on the critical stage of "being". Once in a while, we all need to recalibrate and reframe our mindsets so that we can be better equipped to embark on the "handstands of our lives".

I'm also happy to report that my child's posture has improved. When waiting for the bus recently, I noticed he was sitting upright when he would otherwise be hunched up like a little old man.

While Singapore is in no lack of children's holiday camps, life-transforming programmes like these are rare and precious. Thank you so much, Mindful Space.

As a complete beginner to Yoga, it takes me quite a while looking for a suitable studio as I had doubts like : Will I feel comfortable begin in the studio? Will I be able to vibe with the teachers? How adventurous would I be in trying new pose in class? Until I get to know "MINDFUL SPACE" while browsing  through Facebook and that's where my yoga journey begins....

Mindful Space is a new set up studio opened in August'2019. Location within central district situated in a commercial building surrounded with lush greenery offering a relaxing atmosphere. I love the welcoming air space, the peace and calm ambience within the studio, a good and healthy place to practice yoga and meditation. Classes were limited to small group, teachers were friendly and patience. A highly recommended studio for new beginners.
Ms Vernessa Chuah (the founder) not only pretty, she was also friendly and caring with positive attitude, makes me very comfortable talking to her. :)

Mindful Space is a special studio to me. Well-begin not only into yoga  but they also conduct workshops supporting women (Women's Circle), parent and child (Parenting workshop, Parent & Child Classes).

Last but not the least, would like to convey below messages :
To : Ms Vernessa - felt blessed getting to know Mindful Space and glad begin a part of Mindful family. :)
To : Teacher Angie, Joanne, Kuan, Lishan - appreciated the patience rendered during the practice . You guys were awesome.

Warm, cosy and calming space. Love the space for having a flexible schedule with classes of variable intensity that suits different needs. Also love that class size is small, allowing more attention in correcting postures and in focusing on needs of individual. Was introduced to the space by my yoga buddy who was going for pre-natal classes. Having tried out different yoga schools and centres, I think I've found THE place where I constantly look forward to the next class.
Always feel rejuvenated and refreshed after every class (even after a long tiring day at work) and grateful for patient and encouraging teachers. The lovely ladies are all experienced, each with her own unique style of teaching. I like the classes that make one work and sweat (Vinyasa, Hatha and core) and also classes that mediates the body (therapy, yin).
I'm constantly motivated to maintain a balance in mind and body amidst the bustle of a fast-paced world.
Thank You Vernessa and team for opening this space to benefit others (both young and old) :)
