“It’s been almost 6 years since I’ve been taking classes at Masama, since I was Jazzercise in 2015. I’ve never exercised before, so now I feel the need to exercise in my old age to stretch, so that my body doesn’t stiffen. I’m very happy to join this studio because the training feels right, according to needs and the people are friendly. I feel fit, happy and far from lonely.”
- Karmilia Ayu, 36 years old, Jakarta
“Initially, I joined Basic Yoga to support my friend as an instructor, but as time went on, I suited the way of teaching and I got a lot of benefits. Previously I could never enjoy yoga like other people in general, but now I can fall in love with yoga, my body is more flexible, balancing has improved.
- Tomoko Daikoku, 46 years old Osaka (Japan)
“I’m so happy to still join and exercise together at Masama, even though I followed it online from Japan during the pandemic. I still feel like living in Indonesia even though I’m in Japan now because I’m taking the classes. I train in Jazzercise, Zumba, Yoga and Pop Pilates classes. Happy 6th birthday to MASAMA.”
- Jane Manlapas, 54 years old (Philippine nationality, used to live in Jakarta)
“I still really enjoy exercising with Masama, since the first time in 2016 until now. I love and admire Helen, the initiator of Masama in particular for her extraordinary enthusiasm while leading us all to practice in class. Starting the day by training together at Masama is able to keep myself energized, fit and agile throughout the day. And of course the happy hormones keep me feeling positive. All of these reasons, in my opinion, are what make the Masama participants faithfully fill the class even though the pandemic is coming. And this includes all participants who come from abroad. They still follow it even online from their respective countries.
