“Wei-Ming seems to approach life with the mind of a scientist, but the heart of a yogi.”
— Natalie Crandall, Professional dancer and fitness instructor
Yoga to support you
Yoga, though literally translated as “to yoke” or “to unite,” has many nuanced definitions. Stilling the mind. Living in the Now. A state of equilibrium.
Regardless of pre-existing meaning, yoga is truly a mirror. Depending on you and your intention, yoga can be spacious or narrow, a workout or transcendent.
I love the expression of human movement. Drawing from diverse disciplines including climbing, dance, martial arts, calisthenics, and endurance sport, my classes are rooted in a thorough understanding of how the body moves through space. Expect practice with me to be approachable with the option to push yourself.
We are more than bodies. As such, my group classes take a multidimensional approach. Asana are complemented with mental and spiritual guidance without being heavy-handed.
My Lineage:
Whatever understanding of yoga I have, I owe to the phenomenal teachers who have guided me over the last 15 years.
I’m grateful to have been under the inspired tutelage of Anton Mackey and Lisa Cohen as lead instructors for my 200-hour yoga teacher training program in Phoenix, Arizona.
Lorilee Gillmore’s expertise in ayurveda, yoga’s sister science of holistic wellness, has continuously widened my perspective on what health means.
Here in Seattle (Duwamish Land), I feel incredibly lucky to practice with Douglas Ridings. His eclectic combination of Indian dance, martial arts, and yoga exemplifies what’s possible when a teacher applies their unique creative expression to asana practice. Murali Venkatrao is a treasure-trove of yoga philosophy, scripture, and a raconteur of the first order. I have benefitted tremendously through his council and by observing his lived example of the yogic path.
In 2023, I became a disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi, through Ananda Church of Self-Realization. Yogananda’s teachings have profoundly influenced the way I conceptualize life and yoga.
Currently I am in the 2025 cohort of the Mindfulness Meditation Teacher Training Certification program co-designed and led by mindfulness luminaries Tara Brach and Jack Kornfield.
My understanding of energy and its potential for healing the body/mind comes through Level 1 & 2 Usui Reiki Training. My instructors were Bob and Shelby Jarman at the Center for Inner Healing and Balance.
Movement + stillness. Focus + expansion. See you on the mat.
Let’s Begin
Private Instruction
Body. Mind. Spirit.
Focus on one or embrace all three. We’ll craft a practice that’s just right for you.
Events
Weaving in yoga can add a special dimension of community and shared experience to your event.
In my previous work-life, I routinely planned and executed events ranging in scale from small groups to a multi-day retreat for 100+. My approach blends organizational precision with an air of joyfulness.
From my experience guiding rock climbing, I have a keen know-how about establishing a safe and trusted environment quickly. Newbies and seasoned yogis alike will feel at home in a practice tailored to your event’s needs.
Live and In-Person
It’s an honor to share space and move together with you.
