Rebecca Dawn Nie (RYT 200) is a Zen Master, award-winning author, and creative force behind Yin Mountain, an empowering exploration of women's embodied spirituality through the voices of 8th-century Taoist priestesses. While delving into the rich world of Taoism for her translation, Rebecca discovered the incredible power of Taoist bodywork. She has since woven this time-tested therapeutic art seamlessly into her yoga practice, which began in 2002 as a way to soothe the edge of immigration.
As the founder of MV Sanctuary of Healing Wisdom, Rebecca’s dedicated yogic path emerged in 2010 along the sacred banks of India’s Ganges River, where she discovered the transformative practice of Raja Yoga on a solo backpacking adventure. Authorized to teach Tangmi Yoga in the Chinese Tantric tradition, Rebecca's approaches are rooted in the spiritual and practical dimensions of well-being. Rebecca’s teaching is grounded in evidence-based research, drawing on her science degrees from Stanford and the University of Toronto, as well as Bouverie Centre at La Trobe University’s somatic and internal family systems training.
When she’s not teaching or practicing yoga, Rebecca serves as Stanford University’s affiliated Buddhist chaplain and creates new media art, bringing Eastern healing-wisdom rituals to the here and now.
