Yan

Yan is a former doctor and dedicated yogi. She gravitated towards yoga from a young age and in her 20’s became increasing fascinated with yoga as a way of life to put one on the path to enlightenment. At University, she reigned in the teachings of meditation, pranayama and energy work from a Korean Qigong Grand-master, leaving an eastern philosophical imprint on her. Working in London, she fell in love with a strong Vinyasa yoga practice, training religiously, coupled with regular meditation practice. She spent a year travelling, volunteering and practicing at mindfulness centres, intense silent meditation courses, ashrams and monastic retreats; experiencing yoga, pranayama and meditation intensely around the world under many different teachers and gurus in Thailand, Hong Kong, Nepal and India and Europe. Her inquiring nature has led her to try virtually every type of yoga, giving her knowledge in Iyengar, Hatha, Ashtanga, Jivamukti, hot yoga, Satyananda, Sivananda, Kundalini, Yin yoga, Yoga therapy and Yoga Nidra. Fate brought her to Malta where she stumbled upon Freemyme, just hours after landing, and with great ease she became a part of the Freemyme Family, training intensely in her first love, Vinyasa Yoga. She is now a Yoga Alliance registered 200 hour Yoga teacher trainer “It’s been quite a journey and I’m full of gratitude for everything that’s happened and everyone I’ve met. I’m so excited to finally do something that resonates deeply with me. In my eyes, to live a full yogic life is medicine for the mind, body and soul, leading you on the path to unconditional love, peace and happiness” Yan is softly spoken, instantly approachable and full of warm and calming energy. Determined and focused, she is not easily discouraged and brings her absolute 100% to her practice, which reflects her dedication to teaching and sharing of her experiences.
