“Why don’t you say something?”
“What kind of question is that?”
“How can you say that?”
The one thing we can’t live without is communication. Everyday, we are facing different scenarios that force us to communicate with one another.
Ever since, communication became something needed to be aware about. Did I say something wrong? Is something implied in what he/she said? There is nothing wrong with communication, but sometimes, all you want is a moment to yourself.
Soul Barn provides a safe space where you don’t have to force yourself to put on a mask. There won’t even be names involved, just silence. Through this silent retreat, you can finally focus your attention on your surroundings.
This retreat includes local Taiwanese gourmet and different activities, but you wouldn’t need to express your thoughts about it. All the emotions and words you wanted to express should all be kept to yourself.
In these 24 hours, all you need to focus on is yourself.
Put down the phones together and communicate with the world attentively. The Internet is required to be turned OFF during certain hours listed below, yet photos are allowed to be taken during the entire time. (Please let us know if you need internet access, and we will arrange it for you.)
No internet：Day 1 15:00 - Day 2 18:00
What To Expect
Put down the phones together and communicate with the world attentively. Please do not disturb the environment, do not litter, do not maliciously attack others. Wear your most comfortable clothes and bring environmentally friendly tableware. Stay weird and stay unique.
Full schedule will be provided after booking is confirmed.
Meditation Instructor: Jasmine
October 2020 to October 2021– 300 hr Yoga Alliance advanced teacher training. Three modules: Women’s Yoga, Mindfulness Yin, and Restorative.
It is a path with heart. And I am simply learning to surrender along the way.
As a child of a yoga-loving, unabashedly spiritual family, I attended my first yoga classes at the age of fourteen. I began practicing on my own accord, and in earnest, after struggling with depression and mental health in high school. After falling into another rough patch–a very dark night of the soul–while going to university in New York, I decided to pursue a path aligned with my purpose.
So, at twenty-one years old, I headed to Mysore, India, to study classical hatha and yoga philosophy, before completing my yoga teacher training at Radiantly Alive, Bali, the year after. Since then, my yoga teaching journey has evolved and grown across a few continents, in diverse environments, and finally, returned to its roots in Taipei, where it all started–just as I have.
The yoga journey is, at this point, inextricable from who I am and why I am here, today. It is a part of me, yet there is so much more. It is a learning and a craft and a practice, yet–in it, there is something occurring, more than understanding.
I teach yin, flow, yoga stretch, and yin yang. Although my style has shifted to more gentle, allowing energies over time, I like teaching fun and flowy classes too. No matter the style—my classes are heart-centered and include seated meditation and mindful practices when appropriate.
As a teacher, my aim is to inspire a state of self-embodiment and radiate an accepting atmosphere. I am soft yet strong, lighthearted and prone to laughter, too. In the classroom, I love creating a nurturing and nourishing ambience for the practice. This is achieved through my use of voice, sequencing, thoughtful playlists, and an awareness of the students’ needs.

A calm wooden house located by the mountains, it has a heartwarming charm, providing a cozy atmosphere for every single guest. Surrounded by a lush natural environment, it’s a sanctuary of a busy, city life. Natural light enters throughout the day, quietly bringing peace and happiness.
