Ingrid Yang embarked upon her yoga journey in 1999 in New York City after multiple injuries from long distance running. She soon discovered that the healing powers of yoga extend beyond the asana practice and now finds the balance of running and yoga to be her most therapeutic expression of energy and movement. With over a decade of yoga teaching experience, Ingrid has lead workshops and teacher trainings all over world. She holds certifications from the styles of Sivananda, Jivamukti and OM yoga.
As well as teaching yoga, Ingrid is currently a medical student at Rush University School of Medicine. In her past lives, she has been an intellectual property attorney, venture capitalist, business consultant, jazz lounge singer in Australia, and founder and owner of Blue Point Yoga Center in Durham, NC.
Ingrid's classes are upbeat and energetic, incorporating a vigorous vinyasa flow with dharma teaching and a strong understanding of anatomy and human physiology.
