Our universe is a universe of constant change. Life is constantly evolving, and we must do what we can to keep up, and go with the flow.
“These days, my practice is teaching me to embrace imperfection: To have compassion for all the ways things haven’t turned out as I planned, in my body and in my life – for the ways things keep falling apart, and failing, and breaking down. It’s less about fixing things, and more about learning to be present for exactly what is.” Anne Cushman
We did not expect the velocity – and ferocity – of the river we were travelling on. Our business, such as life itself, has gone through many changes in the past months. The good news is we went with the flow.
You bet it’s been a hell of a ride.
We let go of our physical store, and have transitioned online. Despite the best planning, life happens – and we get sidetracked. Doors close and open. We shift accordingly.
Life kind of fell apart and in place simultaneously. Everything clicked, as they were meant to be.
The incredible spinal twist Marichyasana C does not happen from sheer brute force. It requires one to soften considerably so shift can happen. Watch below.
All universe asks of us is to surrender and not resist change. We did not fancy feeling stuck, and we wished the answer – and change – would come swiftly. Yet in our yoga practice, we know life’s myriad challenges require us to dig into the well of placidity within. To step back instead of bulldozing ahead. To tune into the teacher within. To trust that voice, however radical it may appear to be, despite being intimidated by the deafening noise outside. To have faith that there is a power bigger than us that is in control and has just the perfect plan for those whose hearts and minds are ready to receive.
A big heartfelt thank you to all those who have made a point to visit our Balestier Hill store. We appreciate your support for our work toward more equality.
Every single conscious purchase goes to empower the artisan, farmer, another sentient being. Ultimately everything comes around because our lives are interconnected.
Business, and life, is all about evolving, adapting, constantly growing ang improving. This is what we have learned and embraced in our journey. This is what we hope you all have learned to accept wholeheartedly as well in your personal and business endeavours.
Our work is far from done. See you online!

Joan Koh spent over two decades writing about wellness and design-led hotels in the region. She likes to think her socially conscious business, _100 Good Things_, is a natural progression from travel writing, and certainly born out of a passion for handcrafting traditions she got acquainted with in the course of work, and a desire to make a positive difference. She sources her wares from progressive companies with similar vision of providing local craftsmen with fair wages and benefits so they are empowered to pursue their life goals. _100 Good Things_ is as much her ode to conscious living as it is a platform for well-being workshops and retreats.
