As a parent I know what its like not to have enough hours in the day, let alone to do something for yourself.

Yet I also seen the consequences if you dont and experienced the benefits when you do for not only myself but the others around me. The practice of Ashtanga accelerated my quest to become the best version of myself and I’ve made it my life’s work for others to experience that too.

It doesn't matter if you are starting yoga for the first time, a yoga teacher or professional athlete I have a methodology to teach students of all physical backgrounds and health conditions. I am accredited to teach the Active Series, Primary Series and Intermediate Series of Ashtanga Yoga as blessed by the Sharath Yoga Centre in Mysore India.

Meet yan

“Its about confidently moving, breathing & smiling through all your life stages”

Yan Ong was blessed by the late Paramaguru Sharath Jois in 2012 to teach Ashtanga Yoga. She lived in Mysore, India for 4 years, followed by annual trips & worldwide travels with her teacher for 15 years until his passing. This unique time spent with him both on & off the mat allowed her a profound & deep understanding of his teachings on the physical & philosophical level. She co-founded the Mysore Room Shala in Kuala Lumpur in 2014 with her husband as a space dedicated to Ashtanga Yoga.

In addition to being an authorised level 2 Ashtanga teacher, Yan has over 20 years of dedicated practice, a degree in Biotechnology, a certified Functional Mobility Specialist, qualified Functional Nutritionist & trained massage therapist, giving her a strong grasp on movement & the physical body.

As one of the world’s senior Ashtanga teachers & thru her own firsthand experience she has extensive knowledge about guiding others thru IVF, pre/postnatal, hormonal imbalances, back pain/ herniated discs, joint injury & more.

She has a deep compassion & wide-minded approach to teaching anyone with various physical & health conditions with tailor-made guidance. Yan has taught well over 1000s of students globally over 12 countries and counting, ranging from their 20s to 70s, from professional athletes to beginners & after a decade, of teaching pregnant students & her own pregnancy, she created the first online Ashtanga prenatal course, offering a flexible & safe approach to practicing during pregnancy.

As a Mensa member since 16 yrs old, Yan was always curious to the workings of the mind, and while in Mysore undertook a decade long study with renowned scholar Professor Rao on ancient yoga philosophy texts. She believes a holistic approach to mind and body is vital for attaining internal strength, joy & understanding of yoga.

Outside of teaching, Yan is a mom, a dog lover, enjoys traveling with her husband, relaxing at the spa & a good mug of hot chocolate.
