A room where the body is allowed to slow down.

The studio sits down a lane off Jianhua Road in Hualien City, inside Biyunzhuang near Taichang. It is not a big room — twelve people at most — with a full Iyengar rope wall and a complete set of blocks, ropes, bolsters, chairs and blankets.

There are no mirrored walls here, no levels board, nobody comparing how deep anyone else goes. Using a prop is not a concession — it is how a body actually comes to understand a pose.

Classes run in terms of about twelve weeks. The same group moves through the season together, which means the teacher remembers your knee, your shoulder, and where you got to last week. That is what a small class is actually for.

She grew up in a yoga family. In 2006 she left everything in Taiwan and spent a full year studying intensively in India. That year became a book, 《不可思議的瑜珈旅行》, published by Mook.

She has taught since 2007 and is a certified Iyengar teacher — one of the most demanding certifications in yoga, taking years to earn and requiring continuous study to keep.

She also interprets for senior international teachers when they come to Taiwan. Interpreting a yoga class in real time means understanding both the language and the body at once, and it has made her own teaching more precise.

She is a mother of two. She knows exactly what daily life does to an adult body, and how to bring it back a little at a time.
