Yuan discovered yoga over ten years ago, initially drawn to the practice for physical movement. What began as a way to relieve physical tension soon became something much more meaningful, a source of inner peace, balance, and curiosity that inspired her to keep exploring is a part of her life.

She completed her 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training with Kushala Yoga in 2025, followed by Aerial Yoga teacher training and Mat Pilates teacher training in 2026. Her curiosity and love of learning continue to inspire her to explore different ways of moving, teaching, and connecting with the body.

Yuan’s teaching style is warm, energetic, and playful. She believes movement can be both empowering and fun, and that practice should be something you look forward to. Her goal is to help students build strength, mobility, and confidence while finding joy in movement, and ultimately, to inspire them to move more and make movement a natural part of everyday life.

For Yuan, teaching is about more than guiding a class; it’s about creating a welcoming space where everyone feels encouraged to explore, challenge themselves, and celebrate what their bodies can do. She brings her joyful energy and genuine curiosity into every class, encouraging students to move with intention while finding their own rhythm.

Outside the studio, Yuan loves being close to nature and enjoys gardening, cooking, baking, and creating handmade crafts. She is always curious, embraces change, and enjoys discovering new ways to learn, move, and grow.

Journal

Here you'll find writing on mindfulness, neuroscience, mental health, physical wellbeing, and yoga.

These topics often overlap: attention, behaviour and embodiment are all part of the same ecosystem of experience, and the aim here is to explore those connections in a thoughtful and practical way. Some posts draw from research, others from lived experience and teaching. The intention is to share ideas that are useful, considered, and occasionally a bit different from what is typically said.
