All In A Day's Work:
Ongoing training, a passion for teaching and a love of yoga are the building blocks of Maggie Tan's career as a programme manager at mYoga
I got into this business by accident. I'd given up my original job as I wasn't happy there and started doing Pilates. I'd done some ballet in my youth and initially started teaching Pilates at California Fitness. In terms of alignment and what my body could do, this fed into yoga.
I started doing yoga about five years ago as a casual student. I got interested in it and did a certification course through one of the teachers associated with California Fitness.
I started teaching at the gym and continued my yoga training with Michel Besnard, a teacher associated with Sravaniya DiPecararo, one of the early yoga teachers in Hong Kong. I'm now training with a yoga guru from Australia.
As a yoga teacher, learning is ongoing and self-practice is a vital part of the learning process. I manage the yoga programme at mYoga on a typical work day.
