Dewi Chen

Like most yoginis, Dewi (she/her) encountered yoga through the traditional Hatha Yoga lineage, where she obtained her 200H certification. She went on to train in Yin Yoga (200H), Forrest Yoga, Pre/Post-natal Yoga and Kids & Family Yoga, Well-Woman Yoga & Therapy (Womb Yoga), Trauma Sensitive Yoga and Yoga Nidra. Never one to stay comfortable in one field, she recently certified as a Barefoot Training Specialist® and BARE® workout instructor. Inspired by the bodyworkers and therapists that treated her - including her very own mum - she went on to become a remedial bodyworker and therapist in the field of Integrated Manual Therapy, Sports Massage Therapy and Clinical Orthopedic Manual Therapy. Her studies in anatomy and physiology from the lens of therapy and movement rehabilitation has sharpened her skills in teaching group classes, and she loves empowering her clients to see themselves the way she views them - intelligent, fascinating and strong. 

Fuelled by her desire to empower birthing families from #wombtoworld, she certified as a birth and postpartum doula (DONA International) and also received additional training from midwife and researcher Dr Rachel Reed,Evidence Based Birth®,Spinning Babies®, Optimal Maternal Positioning® and VBAC Link. Her doula work at wonder births greatly informs her teaching approach in pre-natal and post-natal yoga classes. To better serve the prenatal and postnatal community, she is currently pursuing her training in the Body Ready Method and Girls Gone Strong coaching programme. She is currently building a collection of pelvic models and hopes to one day design one of her own. Dewi is currently the Lead Trainer for TLY Academy's 100H Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training and 200H Yoga Teacher Training programmes.
