About Justine：
Justine Shanti found yoga during a period of a lot of change in her life. Between the age of 17 and 25 she lived in 6 different countries and travelled to remote areas following her passion for conserving wildlife. There was at least one constant within this migratory life- Yoga. Her yoga self practice followed her to all of these wild places, even to Asia’s mountain tops above 4000m. Who ever was nearby- friends, colleagues or strangers- would often join in on the physical challenge and yoga became a cultural exchange.
Justine Shanti has been part of the YogaYard family and taught at the studio since 2012! Justine Shanti is known in Beijing, China for her contagious enthusiasm for play and love for building the Acro-yoga community. She has been a certified yoga teacher for 9 years (PowerYoga 2009; YogaWorks 2012) and an Acroyoga International teacher since January 2017 (Acroyoga International 2017). She founded the ‘JustAcroyoga’ platform and leads regular classes, workshops, magical ‘Wild’ retreats in China and Internationally and is a guest teacher in Taozi Yoga’s 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training. She especially enjoys promoting yoga and Acro-yoga in green and outdoor spaces, getting people to connect with their wild monkey side and nature’s wonders. When she is not practicing acro-yoga you can find her working to save the mythical snow leopard on the Tibetan Plateau and Mongolia. “There is a bit of insanity in –Acroyoga- that does everybody a great deal of good”
关于Justine：
在生活发生了很多变化的一段时间里，Justine找到了瑜伽。从17岁到25岁，她先后在6个国家居住，并在保护野生动物这股热情的指引之下，去到了更多遥远的地方旅行。而在这种迁徙的生活中，总有一样东西是不变的，那就是瑜伽。她在走过的所有荒野之地练习瑜伽，甚至在亚洲海拔超过4000米的崇山峻岭间也没有停歇。无论有谁在附近，朋友、同事或是陌生人，大家常常加入到这一对身体的挑战中来，瑜伽也就化身成了一种文化交流的方式。
作为瑜伽苑（YogaYard）大家庭的一员，Justine从2012年起就在那儿授课了！因她对瑜伽极具感染力的热情和对建立双人瑜伽社区的热爱，Justine在北京的瑜伽圈里被人所熟知。她成为一名瑜伽认证教师已有9年（2009年PowerYoga认证；2012年YogaWorks认证），并从2017年1月开始，同时成为了一名双人瑜伽国际（Acroyoga International）认证教师。她创立了“JustAcroyoga”平台，教授常规课程、工作坊并在中国与国际上组织奇妙的“野性”瑜伽活动，她也是桃子瑜伽“200小时瑜伽教师培训”的客座教师。她尤其喜爱在绿色的户外空间中推广瑜伽和双人瑜伽，让人们与自己内心深处的野性灵魂、与大自然的奇迹相连接。在没有练习双人瑜伽的日子里，你可以发现她正在为拯救青藏高原与蒙古的神秘动物雪豹而工作。“双人瑜伽有一点疯狂之处——它使每个人都充满了正能量”。
