Perdita Chan is the inventor of the YOAG™ Method and the YOAG™
Strap. She developed them while running a successful
yoga business in Santa Barbara, which she grew from zero
to a studio with 5 employees serving an average of 100
clients in workshops and individual sessions.
In her practice she saw a niche for a method that allows practitioners to hold yoga poses longer and more easily and so experience deeper relaxation and a greater reduction in pain than is possible with traditional yoga practice. This led her to develop the YOAG™ Method and the accompanying YOAG™ Strap.
Although any yoga practitioner can use the YOAG™ Method and the YOAG™ Strap, Perdita’s inventions make yoga more accessible for beginners, athletes, older people, those disabled in some way, or those suffering from too much pain to do poses in the traditional manner.
In addition to certification as a Yoga Instructor, Perdita is a certified Massage Therapist and has developed an innovative combination of yoga and massage, called Yogasage.
Perdita holds a Master in Fine Arts degree (MFA) from the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria, a Certification in Social Work from the Academy of Social Sciences in Linz, Austria, and was a Fellow in Postgraduate Studies at the San Francisco Art Institute.
Before becoming interested in the healing arts, Perdita held both technical and creative positions in the film and theatre world including assignments for Austrian and German television, the International Festival for Art and Technology in Linz, Austria, and the International Film Festival in Berlin. Her independent accomplishments in this area include video installations and computer animation.
Her strong background in art and her experience designing costumes, sets, and masks enabled her to conceive and manufacture a product that is not only practical but attractive.
Perdita is currently designing further products for the yoga, fitness and
health industry.
