“Before I met Jamie at her Hot Hatha class, I had tried all other types of yoga and was so close to giving up on yoga. I fell in love with her teaching style and personality immediately. Her well-designed sequences and perfectly synchronised music keep the sessions fun and engaging. During the covid lockdown, I was so grateful to have her audio guide with me. Her soothing voice made every practice a guided meditation. We started our private sessions right after lockdown. Amazingly, I made progress somewhere in every session, something that I had never experienced before. Jamie was with me all through my pregnancy until my son Ethan was born: she was always there to give kind suggestions and effective solutions for all kinds of pregnancy pains and discomfort. Yoga with Ethan was so fun and I really appreciate her for creating a such beautiful memory for us. After over a hundred sessions with Jamie, sadly I had to leave Singapore for work. But I'm so glad that we're still able to continue our yoga journey over zoom with weekly sessions.”

“I was previously not a fan of yoga, I found myself highly inflexible and I could never catch up with the flow in my classes prior to Jamie’s classes. Jamie has always maintained an encouraging, practical (but challenging) practice. My favourite thing about her classes is that Jamie understands that everyone is at a different stage of practice and she allows room for us to adjust (and make mistakes)—making the practice truly our own. This ‘space’ helped me get better at understanding my own limitations and where I could improve. Now having practiced with Jamie for over a year, I've found myself getting better at yoga, and actually looking forward to my weekly vinyasa class.”
Jessie Chew
“Jamie brings her overall philosophy of life to yoga, rooted in kindness and care for herself and her students. After many years away from regular practice, she helped me reconnect with a way of practising yoga that strongly resonates with me: a deep experience that creates a mindful space to tune into my mind and body, allowing me to shut down the outside world, connect with my feelings, and drive inner peace.”

“I never miss Jamie’s classes at Tanjong Pagar Virgin Active, they're the only classes that I plan ahead for. Both her hatha and vinyasa flow classes are progressive—the complete package. Her sequences are always perfectly coordinated, and the selection of music complements the workout intensity at all the right notes while being soothing to the mind. Jamie is passionate and knowledgeable about yoga. Every week there are new and surprising never-seen-before stretches—things that I have not done even in the other classes that I've been attending for years. And when the intensity goes up, Jamie’s infectious smile and zen-like calm of a true yogi always keeps the entire class going the extra mile.”

“The first time I met Jamie was at one of her vinyasa classes, and I remember leaving the class thinking, “wow that was awesome, I really love her teaching style!” Jamie is an amazing yogi and teacher, she is knowledgable and focused (with an extremely soothing voice!). She has a way to make everyone feel welcome and comfortable around her, and I always leave her class feeling refreshed and renewed. Jamie has become one of my favourite instructors—wonderful, full of joy, and an inspiration to those around her. Much love and gratitude to you, Jamie! <3”
Melanie Foo
“Jamie’s teaching style makes yoga extremely enjoyable—her instructions during class are clear and simple, the transitions between poses are smooth and she always finds new ways to help you get the most out of your practice. She clearly puts a lot of thought into planning as each class is never the same and even the background music is on point! Whether it is a morning or evening class, I always leave each class feeling refreshed and energised. I had always been ambivalent about yoga until I stumbled upon Jamie’s class almost a year ago and have never looked back since! I have since made yoga an essential part of my routine and plan my week around her classes.”

“Jamie Yoga is the first yoga class that I've started attending regularly and I think I’m hooked. There have been other tries at getting into yoga for me but none of them really had the smooth and easy flow that Jamie offers while going though the class. In fact, it’s so smooth that the one hour session flies through in what feels like 20 minutes. It’s not too fast, not too slow, just right. Her approach and voice carry a soothing energy that leaves my body and soul at peace after a busy day of hustling. I find myself releasing stress I didn't even realise I had. Indeed, after every class, true to Jamie's words, I leave grateful for the ability to move and to be healthy, which leaves me motivated to live healthier and happier.”

“Finding the right teacher for my yoga journey was very important to me and moving back to Singapore I struggled to find that in many of the private studios. However, upon taking Jamie's class at Virgin Active, I was sold. She is probably 1 of the 3 reasons why I'm even there! Jamie's classes are also the reason why I wake at 6am to go to yoga. Her flow is challenging but never too difficult to follow. She's patient and is always available for advice. If I could afford it, I would definitely hire her full time just for me! :)”
Tramaine Teo
“One special aspect of Jamie’s yoga classes is her great sense of how to segue poses into each other such that there is a very nice overall rhythm to the class. I also find her sequencing of poses great for decompressing my spine, such that the vertebrae feel perceptibly better aligned after each class. She also has a great “bedside manner” for a yoga teacher, neither giving dumbed down options nor expecting far too much. I look forward to the days when she has classes, and don’t mind driving over to those which are further away from me.”
Arvin Lee
“I've been practicing Strala Yoga online, and I've always wanted to experience Strala Yoga in person. I’m so glad I got the opportunity to connect with Jamie on a trip to Singapore. Jamie is an awesome guide; no matter if you're just starting out, or you're a seasoned yogi looking for a more challenging class. Her classes have the right mixture of fun, playfulness, challenge, and are easy to follow, even if you're new to yoga. Jamie radiates good vibes and makes you go home with a big smile (and wanting to come back for more).”
Alexander Schmidt
"Jamie’s unique style of yoga is amazing. It's so relaxing yet challenging and a must for those who want to find their private oasis in a busy hectic Singapore. I see the class as a treat for myself! This is the only yoga class in Singapore where I guarantee you won’t be clock-watching, where time becomes lost, and posture after posture you will surrender and flow until that final savasana! It’s the best way to start any day and recharge the body—especially if you’ve been running or working out earlier in the week. I also like to go to the gym, so I wanted a yoga class that would complement my strength training. Thursday morning yoga with Jamie is now firmly locked into my agenda.”
Andrew Galway
“Jamie, with her soft voice and careful attention to all of her students, guides us through incredible sequences of poses that are just simply amazing; it doesn’t matter at which point of the ‘Yoga-Journey’ you are, she will always provide options for each of her students. She is the yoga teacher that is always with a smile and willing to share her vast knowledge. In my 7 years of doing yoga, I’ve never found such a unique and enjoyable class until I went to one of Jamie’s. She is the person who not only helps you to unlock all the inner powers in this mystic world of yoga, but also is the one who gives you the key to always be able to connect with that part inside you, and make yoga not only a part of your life, but a lifestyle.”
Rodrigo BatLLOri
“I like Jamie’s effortless and patient way of teaching. She has a unique ability to challenge and provide guidance in yoga postures while instilling a sense of peacefulness and calmness that can get me through the tougher poses.”
Olha Romaniuk
“I always love attending Jamie’s morning classes. She ensures we set an intention before the start of every flow, and her style of teaching allows us the freedom to explore each pose—to see what feels right, as she gives suggestions on how we can push for a little more if our bodies let us. I always walk out of Jamie’s class feeling like I've just stepped out of a spa, all refreshed and invigorated!”
Seah Li-Wei
“Initially, I was nervous about attending my second yoga class ever (the first was a long time ago and I didn’t enjoy it much). But with Jamie it was so enjoyable, that now I do yoga twice a week. Besides helping to stretch my muscles that are sore from running and strength training, yoga has also taught me how to quiet my mind. Jamie is a great teacher. She is very clear with her instructions and conducts her classes in a fun, smooth, yet demanding way. She incorporates great soundtracks to go along with the movements that makes it fun. My favourite aspect of attending her classes is her calm and reassuring voice, that relaxes me and calms my mind.”
Clarence Lee
“I really enjoy Jamie's classes, I like the great sequences she comes up with, and how she always links poses in different ways. It is always a good practice with her, and her voice never fails to lead me to a peaceful mind and steady practice.”
YangLi Vivian
“I had my first try at yoga with Jamie as the instructor. At the beginning, it was a slightly nervous undertaking as I was one of only two first-timers in class. But the soothing background music and the gentle tone of the session quickly relaxed my mind. The 50-minute session happened during the sleepy lunch hours, but I left the class feeling more awake, relaxed and energised. I've become much more interested in yoga and its benefits after my experience with Jamie, and will continue to practice and improve myself!”
