Shiny Long Ping
All rivers run into the sea (to be tolerant to diversity) is the belief in my yoga practice and my personal life. With a heart of tolerance, I had followed a lot of famous teachers from home and abroad to learn different types of Yoga since 2007. After that I found a union of various knowledge that I had learnt before. Eventually I choose the flow yoga as a main way of my practice and teaching, and develop the yoga sequence combined with the five elements in the yoga tradition.
Aiming at the characteristics of the five elements, I also combine the corresponding music, mudras, chanting, dynamic meditation and mindfulness dance into my teaching to explain what is the meaning of energy flow in Flow yoga. I aim to make the sequence of Flow more abundant and colourful and let the practitioners can have vivid and rich practice experience.
I am dedicating my life in promoting the yoga practice into daily life, with the philosophy of flow. Let more people can have great experience of Yoga practice, and bring the energy of love and peace into their lives with a enduring flow.
海纳百川是我的瑜伽和生活理念。带着一颗包容的心，从07年开始跟随国内外知名老师学习各个流派，将学习的知识融会贯通，巧妙结合。最终以流瑜伽为主要教学和练习方式，以五大元素为主题的流瑜伽序列。 针对五大元素的特质，将相对应的音乐、手印、唱诵、动态冥想、觉知舞蹈等元素巧妙的融合在一起来诠释行云流水的流瑜伽课程，让流动的序列充实饱满，让练习者拥有生动丰盈的练习体验。
致力于推广将瑜伽融入生活，将流动融入生命的理念，让更多的人在美妙的练习中，让爱与平和的能量生生不息的流动
