INSTRUCTOR: MICHAEL
In 2012, Michael went to Hatha Yoga Taipei for the first time. Up until then, he had only done yoga in a cursory way, at home with a workout video or as a free class with his gym membership. However, his first 90-minute class of 26 postures at Hatha Yoga Taipei changed his life.
After class, he went home and fell into a deep sleep. The next day, he observed that his knees and back felt better than they had in years. What was this magic that he had stumbled upon?
Wanting more, he decided to do the 30-day challenge. He ended up doing 42 days in a row. In his first month of practice, he lost 15 pounds and felt physically rejuvenated. It changed the way he exercised, it changed the way he ate, and it changed the way he looked at the world.
Since then, Michael has come to fully embrace yoga as a central part of his life.
Michael underwent teacher training at Hatha Yoga Taipei and has been teaching here since 2017. The experience of becoming a teacher has greatly deepened his understanding of the postures and challenged him to find his own way of expressing the series to the students in the class (first in English and now increasingly in Chinese).
Michael continues to learn about yoga and apply the principles to his experiences, both inside and outside of the classroom. In addition to practicing yoga, Michael produces videos and animation and enjoys surfing and playing music.

INSTRUCTOR: NEO
對 Neo 來說，瑜珈的旅程像是誤打誤撞展開的。自小因熱愛排球，長期高壓的運動練習導致她的膝蓋、手腕、腰椎以及背部都存在運動留下來的傷害。而在意識到自己的身體狀態後，她決定藉由練習瑜珈，來修復並且改善這些運動傷害。她的熱瑜珈練習在一開始並不那麼順利，也存在挫折，但藉由不斷與自己的身體對話、透過練習呼吸，身體的狀態似乎也慢慢好轉，過往工作時的緊繃情緒也漸漸有了釋放的管道。
真正讓她決定展開教學，是看到身邊的親人因健康出問題時，她開始思考自己能真正做些什麼，於是決定透過瑜珈，希望將運動的動力和健康的重要，傳遞給更多需要幫助的人。
教學中她一直堅信，瑜珈的練習並非盲目地追求身體凹折的極限，而是將重點放在「聆聽身體」和「尊重身體」上。她希望帶領著學生有意識地去感受自己的身體狀態，並放下那些暫且做不到的焦急，一步一腳印累積練習，不著急也不逞快，去感受自己身體和精神狀態上的變化，讓大家都能在練習瑜珈的路上，享受身心靈的平靜與健康。
