CAROL YEUNG
ALIGNMENT, HATHA, POWER, VINYASA, PRE-&POST-NATAL
Carol’s passion for yoga began in 2013, when she first tried yoga as a means to balance her busy schedule. Moved by yoga's ability to bring peace and tranquility to her hectic life in Hong Kong, Carol felt a calling to share the gift of yoga to others in Hong Kong. Not only had yoga provided her with a means by which she could find balance, it also provided her with a new direction: teaching.
Carol completed her first 200-hour teacher training under Patrick Creelman in January 2015. She has since obtained additional training credentials to become certified to teach prenatal yoga and yoga for children. Since teaching in 2015, Carol has encouraged many students to continue doing the work and improving their practice. After the completion of the 300-hour WildLotus Advanced Teacher Training, Carol co-founded The Practice Studio, a space where she hopes her students can practice consistently in a safe environment. She strongly believes in the motto of “Do the Work” - to put in consistent and steady effort and to listen to one’s own body. She hopes everyone at the studio will be able to achieve a stronger physical body and better mind-body connection to bring tranquility and peace to one’s life.
In her classes, Carol focuses heavily on the fundamentals of yoga poses. She aims to provide top-level technical instruction while still creating a fun and uplifting environment for her students.
