My Yoga Journey

I’m a Yoga Alliance Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT 500) who has taught a wide range of yoga styles for over 16 years in different countries, including China, Singapore, Thailand and Germany where I currently live.

I have always been fascinated by how yoga can positively affect health & wellbeing. Along with yoga, I advocate the use of food to achieve a healthier life and to prevent illness and disease.

My yoga journey began in Shanghai in 2007. In 2008, I decided to take my love of yoga further by undertaking an extensive 200-hour yoga teacher training with Inspya Yoga teacher trainer Lance Schuler.

In 2010, I returned to Munich in Germany where I explored and studied a wide range of yoga practices including yin yoga, pre and post-natal yoga and anatomy. My teachers include Paul Grilley, Patricia Thielemann-Kapell, and Josh Summers.

Returning to Shanghai in 2014, I completed an additional 300-hour yoga teacher training programme, once again with Lance Schuler.

In 2015, I relocated to Singapore, where I immersed myself in therapeutic styles of yoga, completing courses in yoga therapy and restorative yoga. Inspired by my studies in Chinese medicine, yin yoga, and anatomy, I continued to deepen my expertise through various training sessions with Jo Phee.

Driven by my passion for holistic health, I pursued further studies in nutrition with the Health Academy Australia, obtaining my certificate in Human Nutrition in 2023.

In September 2021, I fulfilled a lifelong dream by residing on the serene island of Koh Samui in Thailand for seven months, before returning to my hometown of Munich, Germany, in May 2022, after seven years abroad.

Why I love Yoga

I love yoga so much because it grounds me when I need to come back down to earth, and it lifts me up when I need energy and inspiration. Yoga brings harmony to my life, calmness to my emotions and peace to my busy mind.

My Teaching Style

My classes are carefully planned and attuned to the needs of each student. My strength as a teacher lies in attention to detail, and focus on how to make poses effective for students through precise instructions and adjustments. It is important to me to create a wonderful atmosphere in the class where everyone feels encouraged and inspired to progress at their individual level. I love to teach gentle and slow-paced yoga classes like Yin, Back Care and Therapeutic Yoga as well as powerful and faster-moving Hatha and Vinyasa sequences.
