Find home in your body.

Welcome to this virtual home of mine.
My work begins with a simple curiosity: how do we come to know ourselves through the body?
I have been a student of Yoga since 15 years old and exploring the intersections of embodied practice, psychology, and trauma-informed care. I am on a lifelong path of learning and supporting people to nourish safety and ease through breath, movement, and somatic inquiries.

Rooted in over a decade of study in yoga and psychology across China and globally, my teaching integrates Hatha Yoga, somatic movement, and trauma-informed principles. I hope to creates spaces for people to foster relationship with their body and explore more possibilities of living, learning, and relating.
Before stepping fully into teaching, I worked as a marketing professional with global wellness brands like lululemon and Athletic Greens — experiences that shaped my understanding of authentic storytelling, community, and mindful leadership.

Trauma-informed Yoga
Trauma-Informed Yoga is about creating safe, respectful, and choice-based spaces. It supports you in building a more intimate, trusting relationship with your body — one rooted in safety and self-compassion.
MY PHILOSOPHY
It took me many years to unlearn what I had been taught in order to truly grow as a yoga practitioner.
In traditional yoga settings, instruction often centers around alignment cues — guiding students toward ideal postures as though our bodies and histories are the same. This approach may uphold authority, but it often silences the inner voices of students and overlooks the lived intelligence of each body.
What fuels my heart is not achieving the next advanced pose, but rather cultivating ease, compassion, and bliss through mindful, embodied actions — both on the yoga mat and in everyday life.
My study and teaching are deeply informed by Hatha Yoga, Somatics, body-centered psychology(Hakomi), and TCTSY trauma-informed principles.
Currently I offer two core practices: Somatic Yoga and Trauma-Informed Yoga. Each speaks to different needs, but together, they honor the interconnection between our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves.
