How I gain moral support on impulsive shopping decisions on social media is merely overwhelming. #literallyintears

If in doubt, go inside Dean & Deluca for some Granny Smiths, with your shopping from Crate & Barrel of course. #wheninNYC

"Which school did you go to?" Hands down, one of the most condescending questions I have heard in a shop.

Everyone should know that I love myself THIS MUCH so that you should (love yourself) too.

The sun doesn't always shine, but rises. It's hard to go against the stream, so rise with it. The air will carry you. #yoga

Perhaps the only time in the year you'd see this many white men soliciting on the street. #hk7s

What do you feel like tonight? Red. Why not both? That's how I end up ordering different wine for each dish. #overthetop #iamhappy

How do you know you are back in London? Lining up for a place for one, even when you arrive at 6pm. And the line starts after me.

Your brain becomes clear, you face loosens, when you go upside down. #yoga

Never forget your alignment, especially with the easier asanas. Ground yourself, send your head to the direction you are going for. #yoga

[John Yip @mrjohnyip]

Your breath is your best masseur. Inhale, the air may get stuck; take a deeper inhale, it's summer breeze inside you. #yoga

Traveling in premium flex hot seats on a LCC is an oxymoron that fits me so well by nature. Every journey needs to begin somewhere. Yes?

Opening my shopping cart, sleep on it, leave it alone, never go back & repeat. #shoppingtherapy

Some bruises are black and jarringly ugly and some are invisible. Being perfect on the outside is never the point. Forgiveness is key. #yoga

Stay afloat, and that's how your energy will flow. Your mind can be like quicksand, the harder you step on it, the faster you sink. #yoga

[John Yip @mrjohnyip]

Feel the space between your brows, smooth those folds out. Now smile, beautiful. #yoganotes

[John Yip @mrjohnyip]

Opening up the shoulders in my asana practice is officially my new favourite hobby. It helps a lot with my unconscious slouching too. #yoga

[John Yip @mrjohnyip]

I should be thankful the slippery floor didn't let me fall flat on my face. My bum can take that concussion, totally.

Soon I'll find out whether swimming for 45 minutes before a 12-hour flight home is a good idea or not. Watching the sun rise certainly is.
