An Exclusive Interview with TV Host, Celebrity, Yoga Teacher Jaymee Ong
Interview posted since May 17th,2009Hello everybody, I have with us today our famous TV Host and Celebrity Jaymee Ong. Whenever I meet Jaymee in the gym, she is always diligently working hard in her workouts routines. It is apparent that Jaymee is one who incorporates fitness in her lifestyle despite her busy schedule. She attended my yoga class one Thursday morning and through her postures, it is obvious that Jaymee is a strong yogi. She is also very competent in most of the dynamic yoga postures. After a short conversion with her I got to know that she is very interested in Yoga and has even been practicing the art for the past 10 years. Jaymee is a certified Yoga Teacher and use to teach at True Yoga.
Let’s find out how she is doing as a
Yoga Teacher.
Name: Jaymee Ong
Country: Singapore
Designation: TV Host, Celebrity, Yoga Teacher
1) What is your workout regimen like?
I do some form of yoga everyday,
whether it’s 30 mins or 90 mins. I also run and do light weights.
2) What makes you
want to become a Yoga teacher?
I had been practicing for 10 years
and wanted to expand my knowledge. Initially I had no intentions of
becoming a teacher, but discovered that I loved it!
3) You have been
teaching for a while, what is the best thing that happens in your line as a
Yoga teacher?
I find every class I teach I learn
something new from my students. In big classes you are dealing with
people at different levels, so you must be able to adapt easily and
quickly. I also love hearing feedback about how great a person feels
after class, or that they are sleeping better, or their strength back is
improving.
4) Any bad experience that happen during your teaching?
Not yet!
5) What do you think of teaching Yoga as a career?
If you really have a passion
for yoga, then it’s perfect. It is constantly evolving and you will never
stop learning within your own practice and also as a teacher.
6) People tend not
to see much of this career, what are your views on this?
I don’t really pay much attention to
what other people think. As long as I’m happy and fulfilled then other
people’s perceptions of me don’t really matter.
7) What are your
advice for people who wants to teach Yoga as a career?
Make sure you have a real thirst and
passion for yoga, and be patient. It’s not something you learn
overnight. Remain open to the different environments you will encounter.
8) You are quite a
fitness fanatic, what do you think you would like to do next?
I am hoping to do a Diploma in Diet
and Nutrition by the end of the year. I’ll also have completed my
Pre/Post Natal Certification next week.
Fantastic! Thank you so much for your
time, Jaymee. You are one ambitious girl! I am sure you
will be a great role model for everyone who is interested in working
in the Fitness Industry.
So, for all people out there, whether
you want to become a Personal Trainer or a Group Exercise
Fitness Trainer
in this industry, it is always important to constantly upgrade yourselves. It
is a never-ending learning process so ALWAYS THINK BIG and I’m sure you will be able to go
a long way in this industry.
