Ruikey Zhang

Ruikey Zhang’s journey into yoga is one of transformation, discovery, and unwavering commitment to holistic wellness. From the moment she first stepped onto the mat 10 years ago, she knew that yoga was more than just a practice—it was a way of life, a path to inner peace, and a tool for empowering others.

Ruikey’s passion for yoga is deeply rooted in her belief that the body and mind are intrinsically connected. She sees yoga as a powerful means to cultivate self-awareness, heal from within, and embrace the beauty of each moment. This philosophy guides her teaching and has shaped her approach to yoga as both an art and a science.

Her journey has taken her around the world, where she has learned from some of the most respected teachers in the field. Her foundational 200-hour certification with the Yoga Alliance in the United States was the start of a lifelong quest for knowledge. But it was during her pregnancy that Ruikey’s understanding of yoga deepened in a profoundly personal way. The changes in her body sparked a desire to support other women during this transformative time, leading her to study under Jennifer More, a leader in prenatal yoga. Jennifer’s teachings inspired Ruikey to dedicate herself to empowering women through the journey of pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond.

With certifications as a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) and further training in The Dolphin Method, Ruikey’s expertise in prenatal yoga is a reflection of her commitment to nurturing life and fostering strength in women. She has brought this knowledge to Malaysia, where she became an authorized Prenatal Yoga Teacher with SuryaYoga, sharing her compassionate approach with mothers-to-be.

Ruikey’s teaching philosophy is grounded in the idea that yoga is for everyone. Her diverse certifications, from children’s yoga with Namaha to advanced aerial yoga with Rosie, a private instructor to Victoria’s Secret models, reflect her dedication to meeting her students where they are. Whether it’s guiding a child through their first yoga pose or helping an advanced student master an aerial sequence, Ruikey’s classes are infused with her warmth, expertise, and a deep respect for each individual’s journey.

Her love for flow yoga took her to Taiwan, where she expanded her skills underLightOnYou, embracing styles like Universal Yoga, Chakra Flow, and AlignmentFlow. Her training in Ashtanga with Mark Flint in the UK and Yin Yoga with Sebastian in France further highlights her commitment to offering a comprehensive and balanced practice.

Today, Ruikey’s classes are a blend of her global experiences, her heartfelt dedication to her students, and her belief in the transformative power of yoga. With every class, she invites her students to connect deeply with themselves, to move with intention, and to embrace the journey, no matter where it leads. Ruikey’s story is one of passion, professionalism, and a profound belief in the power of yoga to change lives.
