about ingrid
Welcome!
I’m Ingrid Yang, M.D., J.D., E-RYT 500, C-IAYT, and my life’s work is about integrating medicine into yoga, and yoga into medicine. As a deeply knowledgeable and creative teacher, I’ve been guiding students through the practice of yoga since 1999, and as a physician specializing in Internal Medicine, I bring a unique, holistic approach to healing. Based in San Diego, I lead classes, trainings, and retreats around the world—always rooted in wisdom, compassion, and the power of breathwork, meditation, and the mind-body connection.
In my past lives, I was an intellectual property attorney, jazz singer in Australia, and founder of Blue Point Yoga Center. Now, when I’m not doctoring or yoga-ing, I love to surf at sunset, travel the world, and play on the beach with my dogs. Let’s explore how we can partner together on your journey toward living a balanced, vibrant life.
