HRH Princess Srirasmi opens a yoga studio on palace property to share the health benefits

Her Royal Highness Princess Srirasmi has opened a yoga studio called Sukhoyoga in a botanical wonderland owned by her father on Sukhothai Road.

His Royal Highness Crown Prince Maha Vajiralongkorn granted a portion of the Dusit property known as Province 904 to let his consort pursue – and share – her keenness for yoga as a means of bolstering health and the overall quality of life.

Last week’s grand opening took the form of an elegant high tea with delectable sweets from Silpacheep 904, the royal shop adjacent.

Sukhoyoga was crowded with dignitaries and celebrities, many of them yoga practitioners. On hand were MR Sorut Visudhi, MR Dajrabimala and Vimolbhatara Tungkanaj, Police General Sant Sarutanond, Somkid Jatusripitak, Nipon Promphan, Khunying Sudarat Keyuraphan and Sunathee Isvaphornchai.

Nualphan Lamsam was there too, along with Phornthip Valyasevi, Thirayuth and Chanadda Chirathivat, Kanokpan Hetrakul, Araya A Hargate, Saharat Sangkapreecha, Korn Narongdej, Naphaporn Bodhiratanangkul, Lucksameekarn Ingkakul, Achara Umpujh, Patara SiraOrn, Phattarapol and Suwadee Pungboonpra, Acharaphan Paiboonsuwan, Patravadi Meechuton and Darika Punnakun.

“One of the most important factors in ensuring good quality of life is being healthy in both body and mind,” Princess Srirasmi says.

“A few years ago I found a path to good health in the practice of yoga, which helps improve the muscles, flexibility, metabolism and cardiovascular system. Now I’m providing a highquality yoga studio, which I have personally overseen and approved, for royal officials and the general public, to improve their health amid the beauty of nature at Sukhoyoga.”

The Princess stresses the essence of yoga, which is breath control – regulating the process of inhalation and exhalation.

“Apart from the health and fitness benefits,” she says, focusing on the breath enables yoga practitioners “to more effectively stay focused and eventually find true peace of mind. This is the key to the happiness one can find in balancing body, mind and nature.”

Sukhoyaga is surrounded by an extensive and wellmaintained botanical garden. The 500squaremetre yoga studio has a minimalist design, with floortoceiling windows allowing natural light and beautiful views of the garden.

Decorated with natural materials, the studio is warm and contemporary. It offers a lovely reception area, a large and convenient parking area and separate practice rooms for the varieties known as Hot Yoga, Gentle Yoga, Plus Yoga and Yoga Fly.

Hot Yoga is done in a room heated to 37 degrees. Gentle Yoga emphasises body balance. Plus Yoga combines body postures and breathing with the Sun Salutation pose.

Yoga Fly is a relatively new development that integrates Pilates, dancing and acrobatics. With a fully balanced body the goal, Yoga Fly is performed on soft and flexible “aerial silk”, offering a unique opportunity to exercise “without gravity”.

Princess Srirasmi loves all kinds of yoga, and at the moment she enjoys Yoga Fly the most since it also helps build up muscle.

Patricia Duchaussoy with Gee Paiboonsuvan and Ousanee Sotangku at Yoga & Me

After her training to be a certified YogaFly Instructor at the Pilates Station, Actress Acharapan ‘Pa Gee’ Paiboonsuvan

launched her studio Yoga & Me at Crystal Design Centre , to offer a varied mix of holistic yoga training designed to benefit the body and mind.

The launch party in February 2012 drew a large number of guests from the entertainment industry who may have been daunted by the yoga fly room equipped with straps and slings for gravity-free aerial yoga, the latest in yoga trends.

The highlights of the event included a live demonstration of the Yoga & Me style of yoga by veteran yoga teacher Anchaya Yaemsukon, a yoga fly group and a demonstration class with Acharapan and celebrity students including Sririta Jensen, and Rhatha Phongam, better known as “Ya-Ya Ying”.

The course participants were happy to be the first ones in Bangkok to learn this fresh and inspiring method from YogaFly Master Patricia Duchaussoy.

Patricia Duchaussoy, renowned Pilates-Guru in Bangkok and the owner of a boutique Studio called The Pilates Station has created YogaFly in 2010.

Patricia is a pioneer in the field of body movement. She was the first to bring Pilates to the people of Bangkok in 2001 and two years later opened Thailand’s first Pilates facility, the “Pilates & Dance Studio” (aka Studio31).

Prior to her arrival in Thailand, Patricia was a professional dancer in Paris and London, performing for Saddler’s Wells Dance Company and famous choreographers such as Karine Saporta. During this time, Patricia was first introduced to the Pilates Method through Alan Herdman, an exponent of Joseph Pilates’ authentic technique and leading practitioner in the UK.

Patricia is a well-known certified Pilates senior master instructor. Her years of experience and a commitment to quality have made her one of the most highly regarded instructors in Thailand. People know her for her unmatched passion for body movement and her unique teaching manner.

Patricia was inspired to create Yoga-Fly in Bangkok in 2009. She started working on developing a method that would encourage everyone to discover the benefits of fitness while keeping the experience easy and fun. She realized many people don’t engage in exercise because they think it’s too boring or difficult.

In addition to training people at her studio in the arts of Pilates and Yoga, Patricia has provided professional fitness training to members of the Thai royal family and celebrities such as Eva Mendes, Christina Aguilar, Katreeya English and Gee Paiboonsuvan, who was trained by Patricia to be a certified YogaFly Instructor.

At the present moment, Patricia trains and certifies top instructors in Yoga-Fly and Pilates all over the world.
