Rebecca Dawn Nie (RYT 200) is a Seon master, award-winning author, and classical Chinese translator behind Yin Mountain, an empowering exploration of women’s embodied spirituality through the voices of 8th-century Daoist priestesses. While delving into the rich world of Daoism for her translation, Rebecca discovered the incredible power of Daoist bodywork. She has since woven this time-tested therapeutic art seamlessly into her yoga practice, which began in 2002 as a way to soothe the edge of immigration.

As the founder of Diamond Mountain Sanctuary, Rebecca’s dedicated yogic path emerged in 2010 along the sacred banks of India’s Ganges River, where she discovered the transformative practice of Raja Yoga on a solo backpacking adventure. Authorized to teach Tangmi Yoga in the lowland Buddhist Tantric tradition, Rebecca’s approaches are rooted in the spiritual and practical dimensions of well-being. Rebecca’s teaching is grounded in evidence-based research, drawing on her science degrees from Stanford and the University of Toronto, as well as Bouverie Centre at La Trobe University’s somatic and internal family systems training.

Rebecca also served as Stanford University’s affiliated Buddhist chaplain from 2020 to 2026.
