Lindzay Chan
Lindzay Chan was born in Hong Kong to a Chinese father and an English mother. She started her professional life as a ballet dancer after attending Elmhurst Ballet School and later the Royal Ballet Upper School. She has performed in Europe, China, Taiwan, Japan and Australia and rose to the ranks of principle dancer, and then became the assistant to the artistic director with the HK Ballet. After retiring from dance, she also sat on the HK Ballet Board of Directors for a number of years. Lindzay continued to perform as an actress for TV, cinema and stage. She has won a Golden Horse Award, Taiwan's most prestigious film award and Portugal's Bronze Camellia award for best actress.
Throughout her performing years Lindzay studied and practiced yoga, but it was not until she met teacher Michel Besnard, that her commitment to the study and practice of yoga took a serious turn.
Due to injury Lindzay's practice moved from an asana based practice to a practice focused on chanting and meditation. This led to producing and recording "Searching For The Sun", an album using mantras and chanting to raise vibration in space. Lindzay started to teach as a way to share the joy of this simple yet profound and transformative practice.
She has had the good fortune to meet and listen to the teachings of enlightened Master Nan Huai Jin, and to have the guidance and encouragement of his devoted students. Lindzay is a certified yoga teacher and health coach.
