Stefani Chan

Born in Singapore, and raised in Asia as a young child with a traditional Chinese upbringing, Stefani then emigrated to Toronto, Canada with her family at the age of ten. It is with this blend of Eastern philosophy and values and Western logic and mindset that Stefani has embarked on her twelve-year journey through the realm of yoga and spirituality. Prior to her yogic life, Stefani gained a degree in Communications, Graphic Design and Marketing at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, and had a five-year career in high-tech marketing. After that, she founded a successful marketing consultancy practise for start-up businesses. However, she evenutally decided to leave her marketing career to pursue her passion of yoga and holistic health. Stefani journeyed through India, Africa, and Thailand, studying yoga and meditation with various teachers and schools such as Sivananda, Vipassana (Goenka), Ashtanga, and Agama Yoga, and thus finding the complete healing, both inside and out that she had been searching for. She is firmly convinced in the physical, mental and spiritual benefits of yoga as she has experienced them directly on herself. She has now been teaching yoga, Ayurveda and meditation in group classes, workshops and privately for over six years in Canada, Singapore and Thailand, and assists Hot Yoga Wellness International with their Teacher Training Program.
