You're here because your body has been asking for attention
A shoulder that won't release. A gut that tightens before meetings. A breath that never quite fills all the way. Fatigue that sleep doesn't fix. Reactivity you swore was not like you.
These are not random. They are not personal failures. They are signals — the body's language — shaped by years of lived experience and held in fascia and nervous-system patterns long after your mind has moved on.
Yoga therapy, not yoga performance.
Yoga therapy is a slower, more specific practice than a typical yoga class.
Instead of chasing shapes, we use breath, gentle movement, and nervous-system regulation to work with whatever your body is actually carrying — chronic pain, stress patterns, tension that won't release, a digestive system that's been on edge for years.
Every practice comes with the why. Why compression on the psoas settles the parasympathetic nervous system. Why a long exhale changes your heart rhythm within seconds. Why tight hips don't always mean you need to stretch more. The science isn't a garnish — it's the practice.
My name is Pei !
I grew up in Taiwan under martial law, drawn early to politics and literature — eventually studying both at Georgetown.
Then an accident changed the plan. A long recovery pulled me out of my head and into my body for the first time, and what I found there reshaped how I understand health: so much of what we carry — tension, strain, the wear of just getting through — lodges in the body quietly, long before we think to address it.
That's what led me to yoga, and then to yoga therapy — not as exercise, but as a way of listening to the body. I work with clients facing a wide range of health challenges, and I find it deeply fulfilling — I've learned so much from walking alongside them through their healing.
I'm inspired by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) as a way of living and caring for yourself day to day — and I blend it with my yoga practice.
And when it comes to my clients, everyone arrives differently, so the work takes a different shape for each person. It's that need for creativity — meeting each person where they are — that I enjoy most as a yoga therapist.
