SHIRLEY XIE

At work, I am an energetic and creative business communications professional. At home, I am a passionate hockey/tennis/dance/piano... mom (Yes, we are busy!). I also enjoy volunteering for local youth sports and dance organizations. I value others’ feelings and needs, and creating harmony is important to me. I love to bring positive vibes wherever I go.   

I feel yoga is something great to offer to others—to make them feel balanced mentally, emotionally and physically. The teaching from Emma and other teachers has accompanied me through many milestones in my life. Yoga practice has broadened my views and allowed me to be more compassionate and open-minded. I want to return this beautiful gift back into the community.      

I love to run to a yoga class during my lunch break if I can! I love watching my kids grow, make mistakes and rebuild. I love being around families and friends for no particular reasons, just because they are my people.
