The parttime part is the point.
How a stiff, self-conscious beginner in Cebu ended up teaching yoga for beginners across the Philippines — badly at first, on purpose.
My first class, I could not reach past my knees.
I tried yoga the way most Filipinos do: a saved reel, a hotel-thin towel on tile, and a video that started with a handstand. I lasted four minutes and decided yoga was not for bodies like mine.
What changed was one teacher who said something nobody in my feed had said — bend your knees, it still counts. That was it. Not a new body, not more discipline. Permission to do the easy version and still call it yoga.
So I kept practising in the gaps: before shift, after dinner, in a room where my mat barely fit. Progress was unglamorous and slow and completely real.
I started filming because friends kept asking me to send them “the easy one”. There was never an easy one. Now there are dozens.
Make the first class survivable, so there is a second one.
Most people do not quit yoga because it is too hard. They quit in the first ninety seconds, because they feel stupid. Everything I make is aimed at those ninety seconds.
The easiest honest version, first
I show the accessible shape before the pretty one, and I never call a hard pose “simple”.
Props you already own
A folded towel, a wall, a dining chair, a book. Nothing you have to buy to press play.
No spiritual gatekeeping
Sanskrit is taught, not performed. If a word is used, you get to learn how to say it.
Four things you will not find on most yoga channels.
Each pose comes with its Sanskrit name and a plain phonetic guide, drawn from a library of 471 catalogued poses. Not knowing how to say Vrikshasana is a real reason beginners feel like outsiders.
Tile floors, humidity, small rooms, electric fans. Classes are built and timed for how it actually feels to practise here, not for a studio in a cold country.
A large part of this audience works BPO hours. There are classes for a stiff neck at 3am and classes for winding down when your body thinks it is noon.
I film poses I have not mastered and say so. You will see me wobble. That is data, not a blooper.
