Yoga & OT

"I have had the pleasure of taking Lian’s virtual seated/standing yoga class as well as some private sessions. As a woman living with multiple chronic illnesses (hEDS, POTS, MCAS), I often find yoga at my local studios intimidating. But with Lian’s professional background and experience with patients with the diagnosis trifecta, I feel so much confident and comfortable because she always gives modifications that work for me! After a class with Lian, I come away feeling like I have accomplished something productive but never like I have overdone it and will regret it the next day (which can happen with other forms of exercise"

“I always tell people I found your yoga classes at the exact right time in my life, when I was just starting to come out of the fog and wanting to ask the difficult questions. Our adoptee yoga community is the perfect safe space for me to nurture my body with movement and to nurture my spirit by connecting with others about our shared and unique experiences. It’s been, and continues to be, such a special way for me to better understand myself and build an adoptee community I never knew I needed.”

"What's so special about You Can Yoga with Lian is that you leave your session feeling empowered. I entered the session feeling tightness in my hips and back, stressed out, and tired. I left feeling lighter in a physical and mental sense. She took us through restorative positions that helped replenish my energy and used props to work on flexibility in a comfortable way. An added bonus was that she used sensory techniques that she has learned as an occupational therapist to tie the whole experience together. She is able to tailor her sessions to anyone. Whether you are a beginner or an expert, you'll walk away with something valuable."

“Lian is the most passionate, intelligent, professional, and caring lifestyle specialist in L.A. For nearly 3 years, I was struggling with good quality sleep, waking up feeling fatigued, groggy, and anxious. Lian empowered me to take control of my health and sleep, resulting in profound changes in my energy levels, mental health, and career.”

“As a woman nearing her mid-thirties with little to no experience doing yoga, I was intimidated joining a class at first. But the instructor Lian holds no judgment and makes appropriate modifications so you are only doing what feels comfortable to you. I love how she comes with an occupational therapy background and her technique is based in science. By the end of class, my anxiety is always lower I feel like I got in a good workout too!”

“Lian's empathy and knowledge have been invaluable in my journey with FND. She introduced me to the condition and helped me understand it, which is critical when navigating a diagnosis like this. She helped me seek answers and proper support more quickly. Beyond that, she has guided me in navigating the condition and finding the right resources. Through yoga sessions and one-on-one support, she takes a holistic approach that extends beyond FND, offering practical tools that have made a real difference in my life.”

—K.W.

“The sessions allowed me to tune into my body and overall self to care for the areas that need support. Too often I become detached from how I'm really feeling, and being in a safe space to reconnect with myself as well as connect with fellow adoptees was really valuable."
