From 9-to-5 Corporate Life to Full-Time Yoga Teacher at IKIGAI

Meet Corinne

From 9-to-5 Corporate Life to Full-Time Yoga Teacher at IKIGAI

Corinne used to work full-time in a corporate job in Hong Kong. While she enjoyed supporting people through her role, deep down, something always felt missing. An active person since childhood, she discovered yoga during Covid – a practice that brought her unexpected relief, both physically and emotionally.

Curious to explore it further, Corinne joined a TTC200 program. At the time, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to teach. Her goal was simply to reconnect with herself and deepen her practice during a challenging time in her life.

But by the end of the training, everything shifted.

She found new confidence and uncovered a quiet but powerful calling — sharing yoga with others. She began teaching friends and family, then small studio classes across the city to build experience and find her unique voice as a teacher.

One year later, Corinne felt ready. She applied for a teaching position at IKIGAI — and impressed the entire team. She’s now a full-time teacher at the studio, inspiring students every day through her grounded, heartfelt presence.

Not only has Corinne embraced a more flexible and fulfilling lifestyle outside the corporate world, but she’s also increased her income by over 40%. Her next chapter? Leading workshops and continuing to grow her offerings at IKIGAI.

Corinne took the leap. Are you ready to take yours?

“I loved the structure. Practice then lecture, practice then lecture, and everyone had space to speak up. I felt comfortable asking questions, and the mix of four teachers was so interesting. I also learned how teaching is about using less words and tailoring to what people need.”

Years Of Practice: 3 years
“I came to Hong Kong a bit lost, and IKIGAI classes felt grounding. I learned so much about alignment and mechanics, even as a physio. The pace was intense but I did not feel burned out. I gained energy from coming. It also challenged my thinking. I had to unlearn to learn.”
