I was born in 1971 in Hong Kong and my parents gave me the auspicious name ‘Siu Foon’ which means ‘Smile Joy’. Upon earning a university degree, I embarked on a career as a school teacher, believing in personal growth through education. 10 years later, I was disillusioned with the formal education system in Hong Kong and I switched to another path, having trained and becoming a qualified and full time Yoga and Pilates instructor in 2006 - incidentally, this was the same year that I experienced my first awareness through movement lesson.
Marrying an Englishman switched my path once again. My new life in the UK has allowed me to continue delivering Yoga and Pilates classes to a broad spectrum of clients for the last 16 years. I continued to attend Feldenkrais awareness through movement classes and in 2018 I joined the Feldenkrais professional training program (Lisbon 1) under education director Paul Newton. After four years of training and graduating in spring 2022 I have been delivering in-person and online Feldenkrais sessions, participants are truly amazed that these gentle movement explorations are able to help them relieve chronic pain, improve posture and promote healthy joint movement.
In my spare time I enjoy rock climbing, swimming, and running. I found the Feldenkrais principles enhance my enjoyment not only in my leisure activities but also how I manage challenging situations in everyday life. It is truly a tangible method that I would love to share with you all.
