Jaqui Wan is an aspiring yogini and bodywork practitioner.

She has been practicing various forms of Hatha yoga for the past decade.  Her inspiration into yoga was with David Sye’s YogaBeats.  With this introduction she has since been hooked on a dynamic asana practice and has studied with a variety of eminent teachers, including spending time in Mysore India under the tutelage of Venkatesh of the Atma Vikasa tradition.

Jaqui’s teaching practice began by completing ‘The art of conducting adjustments’ in the Ashtanga Primary Series with Abby Daniel and then  teacher training with Brian Cooper and Nawajoyti. Through this experience she saw the links between Hatha yoga and Thai massage and is also a certified Thai massage practitioner.

In April 2006, she met Jason Nemer one of the co-founders of AcroYoga and was completely blown away by this relatively new practice and there after became the first certified AcroYoga teacher in Europe, in August 2006.
