Yiwen Yoga

Yiwen Yoga I take the deep dive into self-discovery and movement from the lens of yoga. Longtime teacher from SF Bay Area, Yiwen Chang, just moved to Beaverton, Oregon!

She is ready to build a community of dedicated yogis in greater Portland! Yiwen’s arrival was an unexpected one…

Just a few months ago, Yiwen was director and head teacher of a vital yoga and wellness center she founded in SF Bay Area, formally known as Prajna Yoga & Healing Arts Center (Prajna Center for short). She single-handedly built this wellness community from the ground up six and a half years ago — purely driven by a yogi’s passion and commitment to natural wellness. Due to family reasons Yiwen moved to Portland in December of 2016 and said goodbye to her beloved community in the Bay Area. It is all good. After settling into rhythm of her new life and finding her bearings around Portland, Yiwen is excited to meet yogis of all levels of experience and mentor young and new yoga teachers.

Beyond the Pose: A Polyvagal Approach -

We all know that the yoga mat is more than a place to make shapes with our body; it's a laboratory where we learn to navigate stress and find calm in the midst of life's challenges.

Beyond "Normal" — A Two-Week Yoga Series -

In yoga, we return to the body not just to move—but to become more aware. Over time, how we sit, stand, move, and manage stress becomes familiar… even comfortable. But familiar doesn't always mean functional.

Until now, I had always focused my teaching on the mechanics of movement, never as performance arts where we force the body to the extreme edge of movement. It had been and will continue to be about optimizing our body’s relationship with gravity for longevity.

In this upcoming 2-week session, I will do my best to guide students to experience layers of mind-body and consciousness, not bound by time and space. Honored to have the opportunity to share deeply. (For experienced yogis only.)

It’s been a while. Life, with all its heart-wrenching, unpredictable curve balls, called me away from teaching. I’ve missed you.
