Born in Toronto and raised in Hong Kong, Ceris aspires to live both on and off the mat with a humble heart and mind. Having received classical ballet training for more than 20 years and rediscovered herself under the guidance of Dr. Yogananth Andiappan in 2019, she started her yoga practice and teaching journey with Anahata Yoga Studio while pursuing an extensive professional career in law. Ceris has been a survivor of several intense physical and mental conditions. By sharing her therapeutic recovery journey through yoga with her students and with the wider Andiappan Yoga Community (AYC), she has been a keen mental health advocate and a dedicated supporter of the AYC family in recent years, spreading the mission and work of AYC to a wider audience.
