“Have faith, put your dream in the Universe and manifest it!”
Faramarz (1950-2023)Founder of Om Factory New York (since 2006)
The Tan sisters, Menico and Nico, had never been particularly active in physical activities until their late twenties when they discovered Hatha Yoga.
However, it wasn't long before they became enamored with the innovative practice of Aerial Yoga in 2015. This newfound passion soon evolved into a fascination with other forms of Aerial Fitness.
Despite their enthusiasm, they encountered a challenge: the limited availability of learning resources for Aerial Fitness within their local community. Undeterred, they embarked on a journey to seek out more structured sources of information, piecing together knowledge from various channels. Their goal? To democratize Aerial Fitness, making it accessible to everyone, not just confined to stage performances.
Life took an unexpected turn in 2017 when they crossed paths with Faramarz, the visionary behind OM Factory School of Yoga New York.
"‘Have faith, put your dreams into the Universe, and manifest them!’ Papa Fara's words echoed in their minds. Inspired, the sisters founded Om Factory Malaysia in 2018, pioneering the first and only one-stop Aerial Fitness Teacher Training center. They offered an array of exhilarating Teacher Training programs and group aerial fitness classes.
Today, Om Factory Malaysia stands as a united family, joining forces with sister studios worldwide. Together, they share their passion and inspiration throughout life's journey.
