Teacher Poi is a licensed pediatric occupational therapist and a certified yoga teacher. He started practicing yoga back in 2015. Finding research articles about it being effective in helping kids with special needs, he went on to try yoga for the very first time. And that’s when he fell in love with the practice.

His journey as a student was very much driven by the way mindful moving and breathing had influenced the way he does outside the mat. Yoga’s recognition of the different approaches and learning pace as one cultivates the mind and body has also inspired him to deepen his practice. And after a year of consistently coming back to the mat, he took his very first teacher training course. 

To date, he is certified in Vinyasa, Hatha, Yin, Rocket, and Floating Yoga. His passion for teaching - both in the clinic and on the mat - is greatly influenced by 3 things: the power of purpose, the potential of consistent practice, and strength manifested both physically and that of the heart.
