Those were
the days - Reflections of a former
|
expatriate
by Sheryl Abrams (cont'd) |

of article
I fell in
love with yoga in Singapore, so I did some research, took an
instructor's training course and before I knew it, I was
teaching 10 classes a week. It fell into place so easily
that I now know it was clearly meant to be.
|
I am
helping friends and neighbors improve the quality of their
lives as they increase flexibility, gain strength and
de-stress. The best part is that six of my classes are at
home.
|
An added
benefit has been that yoga attracts people of Eastern
backgrounds. I have quite a number of foreign students whose
global perspectives I find quite refreshing.
|
So enough
about yoga - that could be an entire article by itself. I am
supposed to be writing about being back "home"
after three years. True, I am forever changed by my
Singapore experience, and rarely a day passes without a
thought or mention of those good old days.
|
Would I
do it again if the opportunity presented itself? I know both
my husband and I would say yes. The children have mixed
opinions, until I remind them of fun times in Phuket,
Australia and New Zealand.
|
Yes, the
resettlement adjustment continues, even after three years.
Returning to work has helped, but it may not be the answer
for others. I am thankful for the Internet, which has helped
me keep in touch with some very dear friends I left behind.
|
I will
always miss my Singapore lifestyle. I dearly miss the food,
the travel and the exposure to a variety of cultures and
people. I secretly pray for another overseas assignment, but
until then I take one day at a time.
