Jumin is from Taiwan and began practicing yoga in 1998 when modern and westernized yoga had yet to truly permeate the yoga culture on the island. Her first teachers were teaching traditional style asanas infused with Chinese medical thought and theory. Realizing that yoga created a rhythm and “breathing” that permeated her life, she began training to teach after four years of practice. After several years of training in Taiwan and India, she began to teach and have continued training and teaching for fifteen years and have accumulated over 19,500 hours of teaching experience. Her most prominent certifications include both 200-hour ERYT and 500- hour RYT Yoga Alliance certificates. She also holds certifications in Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Provider and Trainer (RYTS). Her teaching emphasizes unification of mind and body, and strives to inspire the student’s hearts. The fluidity of her classes allows students to move into deep breathing, thereby continuously circulating energy. Her focus on Iyengar yoga’s body alignment, dynamic flow, injury prevention and yoga with scoliosis. Her depth of knowledge comes from cues and gentle and frequent adjustments to support each student’s body awareness and mindfulness. In addition to teaching yoga, she has taught Mandarin Chinese at the elementary school level since her arrival in the US over ten years ago. She enjoys working with children and has begun to find that teaching in these two diverse fields helps improve her understanding of the human being in a unique and profound way. She’s excited to teach at Lift Yoga and looks forward to using her knowledge based experience to share with her students. She also feels honored for the opportunity to be part of an environment at Lift that will allow her to offer our members another way for them to live a more healthy and physically fit life.
