Yogis Uncovered | Meet Wen
In this edition of Yogis Uncovered, we’re getting personal with Wen, who you may recognize from her True Naked Yoga programs like Booty Resistance Band Workout. Her beautiful and smoldering modeling photos on Instagram might lead you to assume that she’s quite serious, but behind the scenes Wen is bubbly, silly, and adventurous. We wanted to get to know who the real Wen is when she’s not in front of a camera, and ended up learning so many interesting things about her life story.
“When I’m wearing clothes, I feel like there’s something on my body that I have to carry. And without clothes, I feel like I am carrying just myself. I can flow, I can truly feel, there’s no restriction. There’s true freedom inside out.”
Introduce yourself, Wen!
Hi, my name is Wen and I live in Alhambra, California!
Where are you from originally?
I'm from a small village, born and raised in China. I came to LA with one suitcase, to pursue my authentic self. My dream!
What is your dream?
I want to live my way. The way I think is fun. The way that makes me happy. Follow my heart. Just be me. I don’t live under other people’s values. This is my life. Be authentic. Be original. Because if you live [another] person’s life at the most, you can only be the second best. If you live your life, you can be the best, best, best.
How long have you been doing yoga for?
I started in 2018. I really love it. Before I heard people say, “Oh, yoga changed my life.” And I was like, “Okay, if it changed their life, it may change my life too.” So I gave it a chance and I fell in love with it. It is spiritual freedom. Freedom of knowing. Freedom of awareness. And the deep silence, deep stillness sitting inside of me.
What do you like about doing nude yoga versus clothed yoga?
I love doing nude yoga because I can 100% focus on the inside. I focus on my body, my muscles, my bones, my movements and really stay inside of me. When I'm wearing clothes, I feel like there's something on my body that I have to carry. And without clothes, I feel like I am carrying just myself. I can flow, I can truly feel, there’s no restriction. There’s true freedom inside out.
What has your experience been like filming with True Naked Yoga?
It [felt] like home. Everybody was very, very welcoming, like my brothers and sisters. And I [felt] very free, like I’m embraced with love. It’s a beautiful community.
What’s your favorite food?
My favorite food is any food that can bring up my energy. Any food is fresh from the ground and food is made of love. Any food that will enhance my existence. Any food is made of love. That’s my favorite food.
