INSTRUCTORS

Standing for long periods combined with congenital varicose veins led Fiona to a variety of physical disorders. So when she was introduced to yoga in 2006, the release that she found in Savasana made her fall in love with the 5,000-year-old ancient art. She discovered how yoga relaxes body and mind, constant training rebuilds muscle memory yet keeps the body focused, sharp and meticulous. This memory and awareness permeated her life most positively. In 2008, Fiona met her two enlightened teachers Bill Arce and Lance Schuler. These two mentors led her through the door of yoga that sparked her journey of spiritual practice. Since her path began as both a yogi and a yoga teacher, Fiona understood that practice is not only possible in a quiet forest but also in a noisy city. As teaching assistant to her mentors for 4 years, she studied and trained continuously. She participated in the workshops of Jhon Tamayo, Duncan Wong, Ananta Sylvain Girard, Glenn, Vivien and Sudhakar. In 2019, she encountered JANI – a teacher who said that yoga is not to lead us where we go but to let us meet ourselves! An Aries, Fiona naturally loves adventure and exploring diverse sports such as crossfit, dance, Thai boxing, skiing, horse riding, diving and sailing. She is an ASA American Sailing Association certified sailor who has sailed the Indian Ocean and the Pacific China Sea! Because of her exposure to various sports, she has been deeply involved in the sports rehabilitation system and has acute insight into the symptoms and corresponding chronic diseases of the muscles and vertebra. With more than ten thousand hours of teaching experience, she specialises in private physiotherapy classes. Fiona will often say, "Never too late to learn" and "Never stop being curious about the world." Yoga is a way of life, an attitude of life. Whether it is the asana on the mat or the awareness off the mat, yoga is everywhere in her life. She feels grateful to everything in her life, the people she has met, the enlightenment she has received. She knows that spiritual practice is a long road, and she devotes herself to carrying on the spirit of yoga.
