MANCHING TOM

Originally from China, taught in New York until 2022 and now based in Florida. I was a professional ballet dancer for 20+ years before embarking on my yoga journey. In addition to developing strength, flexibility and balance, yoga has taught me how to breathe, finding inner peace and calmness. I believe each student is unique with individual strengths and growth potential, and I am eager to inspire, make a positive impact, guide and support each student’s journey to mind-body health and wellness.

I am a passionate, qualified yoga teacher with a focus on a strong Vinyasa style incorporating a science-based approach to mind-body health and wellness. I strongly believe that students of all levels and diverse backgrounds can benefit from yoga in a safe and supportive environment to develop strength and flexibility, reduce stress and overcome injuries.
