In 2001, Gii started her first yoga lesson at a gym in Virginia shortly after the birth of her son. Her primary goal at that time was to carve out time for herself. Throughout her and her husband’s professional careers, they relocated to six different countries, and raised two children. As she acclimated to each new country, she sought out a yoga studio to maintain her practice. Incorporating yoga into her routine allowed Gii to cultivate inner calm and peace, balancing the demands of her busy life. She developed her yoga expertise through her time in the USA, Thailand, Cambodia, Korea, Sri Lanka, and Japan. Gii has honed her understanding of different yoga styles and integrated her teachings from diverse cultural perspectives. 

 

In 2021, Gii and her husband settled into her husband’s childhood home in Littleton, Colorado. Besides yoga, Gii enjoys tending her vegetable and flower garden, walking her dogs, cooking different cuisines, and exploring the great Colorado outdoors through hiking and camping. 

 

Following retirement from her full-time job in 2023, Gii pursued her passion for yoga by completing a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training course at One Yoga Thailand in April 2024. She has since taught at Serasana Greenwood Village, Serasana Littleton, and in private settings including home studios and corporate offices. Gii brings a global perspective, a grounded presence, and an inclusive spirit to every class.
