Sien discovered yoga in 1996 in Margaret Lunam’s basement, practicing Iyengar yoga for its physical benefits—flexibility, pain relief, and strength. That initial experience planted a seed, sparking a lifelong passion for health, wellness, and the deeper wisdom of yoga.
In 2008 and 2014, driven to deepen her practice, Sien pursued Kripalu yoga teacher trainings. Though initially hesitant to teach, the call grew undeniable, leading her to share her knowledge and inspire others. With 30 years of practice and additional training in meditation, pranayama, yoga nidra, NewBack therapy, yin yoga, advanced asanas and ecstatic dance practices, Sien’s classes blend multiple approaches making each class a unique and accessible experience. You’ll find a nod to Iyengar’s precise alignement and use of props combined with a focus on breath-work, and somatic awareness, all intended to guide students to connect with their heart’s and bodies’ innate wisdom. It is her belief that yoga is for every body and everybody.
Sien believes health thrives on diversity—in yoga and life. “Diverse experiences are the medicine for a vibrant, compassionate, and resilient life,” she says. Whether you’re new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, Sien invites you to find space and connection in her classes.
