Hello everyone, I'm DJ KIM! Starting my yoga journey at 41 might be unusual, but life is all about embracing new paths. Raised in South Korea, my twenties were filled with adventures—visiting 60+ countries, volunteering at Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity in India, and even becoming a monk in Myanmar for meditation. I learned Japanese, experienced different cultures, and explored landmarks like Machu Picchu and Angkor Wat.
Fast forward 14 years, and I found myself in New York after graduating from NYU. A decade as an ESL teacher and Academic Director followed, fueling my spirit but leaving me yearning for change.
So, 2 years and 7 months ago, I took a leap, leaving a 10-year career for yoga. Fear accompanied me, but life's too precious not to chase your passion. Now, every day is a new thrill.
My vision is to use yoga's transformative power to unlock potential and positivity in others. I believe yoga is a key to personal empowerment, bringing newfound joy and contentment. Contributing to our shared human journey excites me beyond words.
Yes, I may be a 2-year-6-month newbie, but with 20 years of meditation practice and 2 years of dedicated yoga, I'll guide those seeking transformative experiences over 100 days. Join me in the 100 Yoga Project. Let's embark on this journey of growth and transformation together, crafting our destinies along the way.
