My yoga journey began while at university in my native China. After several years of daily practice, I turned my passion to my purpose by completing my yoga teacher training and starting to teach at a large Chinese chain of yoga studios.
Curious how the body works, I began to specialise in perfecting technique to avoid discomfort and improve alignement. This has influenced my teaching style as I pay attention to the unique needs of each student’s body, applying hands-on instruction where necessary.
After moving to the UK in 2022, I have continued to explore this technique-focused approach in my classes. Ultimately, I want my students to derive the same enjoyment I get from practising yoga and knowing my own body.
To further my knowledge and physical ability, I have attended workshops in China, India and the UK led by many world-famous yoga teachers and regularly practise the Ashtanga Mysore style of yoga.
