As a Hong Kong-based instructor, I don’t believe I was born in Hong Kong by mere chance. With a background in banking, and having studied psychology and Buddhism—currently pursuing a master’s degree at The University of Hong Kong—I’ve come to realize that everything is interconnected. One path supports the other, like a domino effect. On both an energetic and physical level, our existence affects those around us.
Through collaboration and shared experiences, I see myself as a conduit. Some of my friends, without even realizing it at the time, became yoga teachers after being my students. They even flew from Hong Kong to New York City to study with Sri Dharma Mittra. That kind of fulfillment is incredibly meaningful to me. None of this was planned—it's all been part of a natural unfolding.
My connection with the Mindful Movement organization began in a prenatal class I was teaching. One of the co-founders was a student in that class. She resonated with my approach and suggested we explore ways to collaborate.
Even my relationship with the monasteries has grown organically. Studying Buddhism revealed many parallels with yoga, and I now give back by teaching yoga to monks and nuns. I see this as a way to plant a seed—in Hong Kong and, hopefully, beyond—about what yoga truly is. It’s far more than physical beauty or strength. When the body is healthy, yoga can nurture the mind and spirit.
For example, in my work as a Nike trainer, I aim to use yoga postures to help quiet the mind, reduce stress, and foster a more positive mental space. When integrated into their discipline, this mindset shift can enrich their entire approach to training.
