Germin Yeo

Germin Yeo’s movement journey began with yoga, where she first discovered that movement is medicine.  Her thirst to explore the benefits of different styles of yoga led her to train under various esteemed teachers. Her exploration of body movement has since expanded beyond yoga to include Thai bodywork training in Chiang Mai, a Level 2 rock climbing certification, a recreational Acroyoga practice and a list that is likely to grow further. In 2009, she started practicing Pilates to complement her yoga practice. After accumulating various injuries from her activities due to her body’s physical imbalances & hypermobility, she decided to pursue Pilates at a deeper level and eventually delved into pilates teaching after graduating from Bodytree Academy. 

In more recent years, Germin became a Lymph Drainage Therapist following her mom’s experience with breast cancer and a stroke that led to lower body paralysis. She has since weaved in her understanding of the lymphatic system into her lifestyle and the way she teaches. 

Germin’s experience in a wide variety of fitness modalities and broad perspective of health and well-being has definitely influenced the way she teaches. With a holistic approach to fitness, she aims to help her students experience the benefits of balance eg. how mobility facilitates strength, how rest is essential to intensity and how stillness can complement movement. 

As someone who is very comfortable providing tactile cues, she uses it together with keen observation skills and clear communication to help her students reach a better quality of movement and awareness of how they use their body in Yoga and Pilates exercises. 

After 16 years, Germin continues to experience the satisfaction of teaching as she witnesses how a regular mindful movement practice can improve a person’s quality of life, regardless of age, background and history.

She promotes a fun yet effective practice, promoting a sense of wellness with her playful yet no-nonsense disposition.
