Yoga mum exercises flexibility in schedule – The New Paper

Apr 24th, 2017

Ms Dawn Sim

The 37-year-old founder of local yoga studio Trium Fitness and aerial yoga guru is a mother of four daughters aged one, five, eight and 10.

Having to juggle her career and family, Ms Dawn Sim would sometimes take her children to work in order to be close to them.

Ms Sim told The New Paper: "I always make spending quality time with my kids and exercising daily a priority."

She recalled how after her two older girls were born in France, where they lived for four years, it took "creativity and a lot of self-motivation" to settle the kids and head out for a jog.

Most of the time, she involved them in her workouts to make things simpler.

Motherhood challenged Ms Sim's body right from the beginning - her girls were all born via Caesarean section.

She said: "I knew that the journey to recovery would be a challenge. Especially with multiple surgeries, it did get harder, but I also became better educated and prepared along the way.

"My first response was to find out how I could safely and surely build up my core strength again and breastfeed my babies during recuperation."

Today, Ms Sim exercises on a daily basis even with her busy schedule, varying the intensity and type of workout depending on how she feels.

She usually runs and does yoga and pilates as well as circuit training.

Ms Sim credited her father for being a positive influence on her active lifestyle since she was in primary school, during which she competed in swimming, track and field and endurance sports.

She said: "Sometimes, all I can manage is 20 to 30 minutes of working out, but it still makes me feel amazing and full of energy by the end of it...

"I have my lazy days, when all I want to do is just laze in bed. But I am someone with a positive attitude, and I usually cheer myself on to try and complete at least five minutes of a workout. That little bit of exercise is enough to get me pumped up and energised to do so much more."

According to her, the benefits of keeping fit go beyond the physical results.

She said: "I am honoured to be a part of the Anlene campaign as I feel strongly about being responsible for your own health and well-being...

"You have to make time to take care of yourself because it helps you be a better parent for sure. And of course, you will be setting an example for your kids to follow too."
