About
Hi, I’m Naomi
I’m a yoga teacher, sound bath practitioner, and wellness guide in San Diego. I love helping people slow down, connect, and feel alive.
About Naomi Chen
My story
I studied computer science and spent years as a software engineer, Scrum Master, and program manager, living from deadline to deadline. I was good at it, and I was always on.
Yoga, nature, and sound showed me another way to live. About twelve years ago I left the corporate world to follow it.
Today I teach yoga across San Diego, lead sound baths, women’s gatherings, and vision board workshops, and guide wellness retreats. In 2018 I founded Hike Out Club, a community for people who love the trail.
Everything I create comes back to one wish: that you slow down, feel connected, and leave lit up.
What I believe
Slowing down is powerful
When we stop rushing, we finally hear what our body and heart need.
Connection matters
With ourselves, with each other, and with nature. It’s what brings us back to life.
Joy is the point
Wellness shouldn’t feel like another task. It should light you up.
