ABOUT IRIS TAN



Iris’ love for movement was rooted in her background in cheerleading and dance. Her yoga journey began in 2010, where a recurring injury led her into the hot room. Yoga then became a space of physical rehabilitation, while providing her with a greater sense of peace and purpose.

In 2014, she took her 200-hour teacher training in Sydney with Briohny and Dice. She then decided to take a leap of faith in 2015, officially starting her journey as a yoga teacher, guided by her love for yoga and passion for sharing.

Since then, she has continued to evolve in her practice and teaching with guidance from various teachers around the world. This includes certifications with Precision Nutrition, Anatomy Trains (Structure and Function), and over 150 hours of Yin Yoga Teacher Training with Jo Phee. In 2020, she embarked on her 300-hour teacher training with Jason Crandall and his teachings have greatly impacted her teaching style to this day.

Iris’ classes combine creative and playful sequencing built upon a strong foundation, guided by intention. Her classes invite you to explore the dualities of the practice, the balance between Yin and Yang, as expressed through her love for inversions and arm-balances.
