Jaime Tan

Jaime Tan teaches meditation and Yoga Nidra from her home in Zürich, and also leads production teams for a large international organisation. Born and raised in Singapore, she has lived in Boston, Cape Town, Sydney and Amsterdam, and has spent more than twenty years studying and teaching meditation and yoga. Her training sits in the Insight Meditation tradition, with long-term study of Insight Yoga, mindfulness and iRest Yoga Nidra with senior teachers such as Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Sarah Powers and Richard Miller, and she studied nutrition and wellness before her focus moved to contemplative practice.

Her teaching is aimed at people carrying heavy workloads who want a steadier relationship with effort and rest. On YouTube and Insight Timer she shares short guided meditations, Yoga Nidra and non-sleep deep rest sessions, gentle after-work yoga and reflections on going on silent retreat, and her Insight Timer course builds a week of brief breathing, visualisation and journalling pauses into the working day. She has taught classes in studios and workplaces for many years, now gives talks and workshops on mindful leadership, attention and rest for companies, in person or online, and writes a monthly email of reflections and simple practices.
