Pacsy Lam - Yoga for the Special Child Practitioner

Born in Hong Kong, Pacsy embarked on a marketing career after graduating from the University of Hong Kong. She began practicing yoga in 2002 and later took the Integral Yoga Teacher Training, which she found to be a life-changing experience.

Pacsy has since continued her yoga education, training in Sonia Sumar's Yoga for the Special Child and Hersha Chellaram's Accessible Yoga. A firm believer that yoga is for everyone, she has also qualified in Yin Yoga, Myofascial Release Therapy, Yoga Wheel, and Singing Bowl Sound Therapy.

Pacsy dedicates her time to serving the YAMA Foundation, teaching yoga to people with special needs and leading outreach programs for children with terminal illnesses. Her ultimate goal is to help students understand their bodies, explore their strengths and limitations, and realise their full potential by applying the wisdom of yoga to their daily lives.
