  • "Yan has been my Ashtanga teacher even before my pregnancy, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have her guidance during this special time. Her extensive practice, teaching experience, profound anatomy and philosophical insights, and personal journey as a mother provide a deep understanding of continuing Ashtanga during pregnancy. Throughout my pregnancy, she has been a remarkable guide, ensuring safety and comfort with modified poses tailored to each stage. Thanks to her, I truly understand how pregnancy influences my practice and body. Thank you, Yan, for your authenticity and wisdom."

    — Lyka Chang, Qatar

  • "Yan will always hold a special place in my heart and core memory. I discovered Ashtanga yoga during an unexpected time in my life, just six weeks into my pregnancy. While many advised me to wait until after giving birth, Yan welcomed me with open arms. She thoughtfully tailored my practice, instilling confidence in me every step of the way. Thanks to her guidance, I experienced an abundance of energy and strength, making my pregnancy joyful and breezy. To any pregnant ladies hesitant about jumpstarting or continuing Ashtanga, I assure you, with Yan by your side, you’ll be in the best hands!"

    — Pamela Gonzales, Philippines

  • "I have great respect for Yan as a teacher. Her heartfelt approach to teaching allows her to connect effortlessly with her students through kindness and a holistic style. Although I have only practiced with her online, I can already feel the positive energy of traditional practice that modern yoga often lacks, thanks to her easy-to-follow instructions. I hope to have the opportunity to practice with Yan for many years to come."

  • 在怀孕的时期，能够保持练习，一定会增加孕期的幸福感。慢下来，多了很多细腻的体验，对身体和练习有了重新的理解。很多体式随着肚子慢慢变大，需要用变体来代替，老师会在每一个阶段为我调整练习的方式，进入一个比较舒适的状态以及心理状态。 每一次Prasarita Padottanasana 隔着屏幕都能感受到老师的呼吸和我练习的呼吸同步，强大的力量与稳定感的连接，让我的练习有足够的安全感，来迎接一个Ashtanga宝宝。
