Catherine Tan
E - RYT 500 | YACEP | Chinese Medicine Health Management Practitioner
Lead Trainer
As a long time street dancer and gym aficionado who isn't naturally flexible, Catherine had turned to Yoga as a means for change. Little did she know that this would lead to a life changing shift physically, emotionally and mentally.
After a decade of teaching dance, she embarked on the journey of teaching Yoga 15 years ago through her first training in Hot and Hatha Yoga. In a bid to serve students better, she went on to study Yin Yoga, Pre and Post Natal Yoga and Vinyasa Yoga with respected teachers around the world.
In the process, she discovered her love for the Yin practice, which led her to deepen her studies in Yin with leading Yin teachers including Bernie Clark, Jo Phee, Sarah Powers, Paul Grilley, and Victor Chng*, clocking in hundreds of training hours and 11 years of regular teaching for Yin Yoga alone.
In 2020, she graduated top of class from a 2-year program at the Singapore College of Traditional Chinese Medicine followed by the completion of the Chinese Medicine Health Management Practitioner diploma from the college as well.
Her belief in lifelong learning and keen interest in anatomy, fascia, myofascial release, Chinese Medicine, qigong healing and yoga philosophy have motivated her to pursue such knowledge rigorously with teachers from both within and outside the Yoga community, adding breadth and depth to her practice and teaching.
With thousands of hours of training and teaching behind her, Catherine is an experienced teacher who believes the asana practice is a small but beautiful part of Yoga. Convinced of the benefits that Yoga has brought her, she would love to share this joy with more people and hopefully create a positive change for her students.
Through this training, she hopes to help practitioners deepen their understanding of the Yin practice and empower more teachers with the knowledge and confidence to share the quietly powerful practice of Yin Yoga with the world.

Loh Wei
Qualified MBSR Teacher
Guest Trainer
Loh Wei knows meditation can change lives because it changed his.
Drawing inspiration from revered Buddhist teachers like Tsoknyi Rinpoche, Master ChiChern (繼程師父), and teachers at Dharma Drum Mountain (法鼓山), Loh Wei's practice finds its foundation in Chinese Zen (漢傳禪法), while also benefiting from the insights of Dzogchen.
Having attended over 14 silent meditation retreats (and counting), he witnessed how meditation led to profound transformations in his life, particularly during times of loss and identity exploration.
As a firm believer that mindfulness has something for everyone, he transited from being the owner of a successful accounting practice to dedicating himself to volunteerism and sharing mindfulness practices with others to make its benefits accessible to all.
This has led him on a diverse teaching journey for the past 8 years, spanning marginalised communities such as former inmates, LGBTQ individuals, and people living with HIV, to non-profit organisations, employees, and corporate leaders.
Driven by a passion for empowering others, especially those navigating stress and trauma, Loh Wei employs a trauma-sensitive approach towards his courses, fostering a safe and supportive environment for all participants to engage fully.
After spending 18 months learning how to teach mindfulness effectively from the University of California San Diego (UCSD) Center for Mindfulness, Loh Wei also brings passion and experience in equal measure as a qualified MBSR (Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction) practitioner, teacher and trainer.
This blend of traditions shapes both his professional and personal journeys, infusing them with wisdom, compassion, and authenticity.
Through a combination of conceptual understanding and hands-on practice, Loh Wei's ultimate goal is to help participants develop the confidence to share about mindfulness while fully embodying non-judgmental awareness to create a learning environment imbued with kindness, compassion, and equanimity.

3. Can I take the training even if I have no intention to teach?
Yes, you are welcomed to join in to deepen your understanding of the Yin practice even if you don't have intention to teach eventually. However, please note that the course is designed with learning about and teaching Yin in mind. The knowledge can be used towards self-practice and the teaching of others.

6. I'm worried about the exam and assignments.
The assignments and exam are basically for strengthening your understanding and you will receive help along the way so you can rest assured that these will not be a problem if you attend the sessions. You will also have sufficient time between the sessions to complete the assignments.
7. How do the post training calls/meetings work?
The first call will be an online group Zoom call 2 weeks after the training ends to check in on everyone and clarify any questions that may have arisen after the end of the training when one is still internalizing the material.
Each participant also has the option to arrange up to 3 one-to-one calls or meetings with Catherine for individual support with regard to the course material or teaching anytime from beginning of the training till 22 Mar 2025 (6 months after end of training). Duration of these meetings or calls can be up to 1 hour each time and will be arranged based on the convenience of both parties.
