ABOUT Jess
It’s impossible to know a person only through words. However, there are a few things I want to share about me:
My practices are rooted in the sciences and philosophy of Yoga and Somatics.
My love and curiosity about Yoga sprouted when I was a teenager and became a registered Yoga teacher in 2015.
I support people in reconnecting with their somatic intelligence through the integrative practices of Yoga asanas, movement, breaths and body awareness.
In 2021, I founded Soul To Speak, a Somatic Yoga training program with Zhao Rongkun. I teach Yoga Psychology and Somatic Yoga courses.
To me, Yoga is returning to our innate cosmic nature and living with Integrity and Alignment of our thoughts-actions-intentions and mind-body-soul.
I am a cross-cultural Wellness Advocate.
I have 10+ years of professional experiences in wellness filed as a brand marketer and community connector in China.
I was one of the founding team members of lululemon and Athletic Greens in China.
I started offering mentorship programs in 2022 integrating my experiences in business, Yoga, wellness and personal development.
Some Fun Facts:
I was born in the Tibetan region and now I live near the Rocky Mountains in Canada with my husband and our Pekingese dog Bacca.
I also serve as a consultant at a boutique yoga brand in Taiwan to develop global master trainings and wellness programs.
