Our Teachers
Diana (Dee) Cheung
CO-FOUNDER
stepped onto her first mat at the formative age of sixteen in her hometown of Toronto, Canada. She found yoga as a form of movement that wasn't a performance and didn't require anything but presence.
​
In 2011 she began her studies into yoga with her beloved teachers, Patrick Creelman at Pure Yoga Hong Kong, Forrest Yoga with Ana Forrest, Yoga Therapy with Ross Rayburn, Birthlight Baby Yoga with Sally Lomas and Radiant Child Yoga with Jenny Smith.
​
After a heart opening travel around the world, connecting with people from all walks of life, Dee recognizes a deep need for yoga in all communities and age groups, to pause, re connect with the breath and live with an open heart.
