HOBBY SPOTLIGHT

What is hot yoga? It’s a type of yoga done in warm and heated studios for a strenuous workout. It creates a more strenuous approach to the traditional practice and boosts the metabolism as a result. What Helen likes about hot yoga: • It helps me concentrate on breathing and stay present • It helps me practice gratitude and reminds me to be grateful for great things happening in her life What Helen finds challenging about yoga: • Getting comfortable with the uncomfortable • Yoga is a form of meditation. Turning off the mental chatter and being present without judgment of myself and others is harder than expected. She picked up the hobby during her stay in business school and has committed to hot yoga ever since. Miao Ding , also known as Helen, is PP & PS NAM Hub Marketing Leader. Her life and career are storied, with her moving from country to country to expand her horizons. But one thing remained constant: her affinity for hot yoga.
