Yawen Huang

Born and raised in Taiwan, I worked for a number of years until I had a change of heart and decided to follow my passions instead. My passion for surfing has led me to spend the majority of my life traveling to different parts of the world. I have spent time in Taiwan, Asia, Hawaii, America, Fiji, South Pacific Island, Spain, Europe and all of them are beautiful tropical islands. At the age of 33, after my completing my yoga teacher training, I left everything behind in Taiwan and moved to a tiny little island in Indonesia to experience a simpler life. I taught yoga in the morning, surfed and chilled with locals and travelers from all over the world. For the first time in my life, I felt at peace with myself. I realized I could travel many parts of the world sharing my yoga practice. Every yoga teacher must have a simple sequence for beginners, especially when teaching in holiday destinations where many people are trying it out for the first time. When I am in surf destinations, I usually teach a challenging Vinyasa Yoga/Hatha classes that are tailored for surfers. I teach a very slow Restorative Yoga classes for days when the students are obviously tired and just need to take it easy. Moreover, as a certified Aerial Yoga teacher, I have discovered it really helps with flexibility and arm strength. My group classes flow pose-to-pose, breath-to-breath, and song-to-song. I love to have fun while trying new and challenging sequences. In a private class, I will create a sequence to suit my students’ specific needs. Whether beginner or advanced, we have a sweaty time and are all smiling at the end. I love yoga because over the years it has helped me to slow down, see my true self and stay open and loving even in the most challenging times. It’s a way of life and not just a one-hour asana practice. Nothing beats sharing the magic and experiencing the transformation all around me. Yoga is a way for me to tune in and listen to myself, a time for me to just take care of myself, and learn to back off and honor my body just the way it is.
