My Story

I was reintroduced to yoga when I was living in Toronto, Canada in 2016. I had experienced yoga before but not like this. What made it so memorable was the feeling of community. It didn’t matter that I couldn’t do more than half of the postures in my first Ashtanga yoga class, what stood out was my teacher’s encouraging attitude, my friendly fellow practitioners, and that most people stayed after class to chat and get to know each other. It’s a sense of connection which I felt strongly that inspired me to practice regularly. After two years of learning, I knew I wanted to know more about yoga beyond the mat, and I was fortunate enough to travel to Goa, India, in 2018 for my 200hr yoga teacher training. The most valuable lesson that I learned there was yoga is everywhere and is available for everyone. Yoga is not only about achieving certain poses, but it is closely integrated with everyday life. Shortly after I returned to Taiwan, I had a great opportunity to teach in Bagan, Myanmar, for 7 weeks. It was such an incredible and invaluable experience to teach at the first yoga shala in town, and connect with both local ladies and travellers around the world. My personal practice has been changing over the years, and that currently includes Meditation, Pranayama, Restorative, Vinyasa Flow, and Ashtanga Primary Series. I am now based in Taipei and offer up to 10 classes a week at 4 different studios. I hope to continue to share the knowledge of yoga and creativity around the world, and to promote mindful living to my students.
