Tina Ma

I offer supervision in Mandarin.

Hello, I’m Tina Ma. I offer mindfulness-based supervision in Mandarin to mindfulness-based teachers and trainees, particularly those teaching or training in Chinese-speaking contexts.

I am a certified Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy teacher and a Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life teacher trained through the Oxford Mindfulness Centre. I am also a qualified Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher trained through the Center for Mindfulness at the University of Massachusetts Medical School.

I am contracted by The Mindfulness Network as a mindfulness-based supervisor and assessor, and I am currently an apprentice trainer on the Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy and Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction teacher training pathway with Bangor University and The Mindfulness Network.

I have been teaching mindfulness-based courses since 2016 and offering mindfulness-based supervision since 2021. My teaching and supervision are grounded in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Life. My work is also enriched by many years of experience in dance/movement therapy, embodied learning, group facilitation and organizational training.

Before working full-time in mindfulness and embodied education, I worked as a senior manager in multinational companies. This background helps me understand the pressures of leadership, organizational life and workplace wellbeing, and supports my interest in bringing mindfulness into everyday life, professional practice and social contexts.

In recent years, I have been closely involved in supporting the introduction and development of Mindfulness for Life in China, in collaboration with Professor Willem Kuyken. I am also the Chinese translator of Mindfulness: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science by Christina Feldman and Willem Kuyken, published in Chinese as 《牛津大学正念课：重建生命的智慧》（民主与建设出版社）, and the translator of Mindfulness for Life by Willem Kuyken, forthcoming in Chinese under the provisional title 《正念生活》 by the end of 2026.

My particular interest is in supporting Chinese-speaking mindfulness teachers to develop a grounded, ethical, embodied and culturally responsive way of teaching mindfulness-based programs.

你好，我是 Tina Ma，中文名马嘉瞳。我为正念教师和正在接受训练的正念教师提供中文正念督导，尤其支持在华语文化语境中教学和成长的老师。

我是牛津正念中心训练与认证的正念认知疗法教师，也是正念生活课程教师；同时也是美国麻省大学医学院正念中心训练的正念减压教师。

我目前受 The Mindfulness Network 签约，担任正念督导与评估员；同时也是英国班戈大学与 The Mindfulness Network 正念认知疗法和正念减压师资培训路径中的见习培训师。

我自2016年开始教授正念课程，自2021年开始提供正念督导。我的教学与督导根植于正念认知疗法、正念减压和正念生活课程，同时也融合了我多年在舞动治疗、具身学习、团体带领和组织培训方面的经验。

在全职从事正念与具身教育之前，我曾在跨国企业担任高级管理者。这段经历让我能够理解领导力、组织生活和职场压力，也支持我持续探索如何将正念带入日常生活、专业实践和社会情境之中。

近年来，我深度参与并支持正念生活课程在中国的引入与发展，并与 Willem Kuyken 教授保持合作。我也是 Christina Feldman 与 Willem Kuyken 合著 Mindfulness: Ancient Wisdom Meets Modern Science 的中文译者，中文版书名为《牛津大学正念课：重建生命的智慧》（民主与建设出版社）；同时也是 Willem Kuyken Mindfulness for Life 的中文译者，中文版暂定名为《正念生活》，预计将于2026年底前出版。

我尤其关注如何支持华语正念教师发展出扎实、伦理、具身且具有文化回应性的正念教学方式。

My supervision style is warm, direct and inquiry-based. I see supervision as a reflective and relational space where teaching practice, personal practice and professional development can meet.

I am interested not only in what happens in a class, but also in how the teacher meets what happens.

In supervision, I pay attention to the teacher’s intentions, assumptions, habits, body responses, emotional tone, boundaries and capacity to stay present. I often support supervisees to slow down, sense more directly, and look carefully at the moments where teaching becomes difficult, alive or unclear.

I aim to offer a non-judgemental but honest space. I may gently name patterns or blind spots when this seems helpful, while also supporting the teacher’s autonomy and confidence. Rather than giving quick answers, I often invite reflection, embodied awareness and curiosity, so that supervisees can discover more skilful ways of responding from within their own practice.

My supervision is also shaped by an embodied perspective. I pay attention to the body, voice, movement, relational field and group process, as these often reveal important information about teaching presence and learning. I am interested in how teachers can bring together clarity, compassion, ethical sensitivity and authenticity in their teaching.

For me, supervision is not simply a place to solve problems. It is a place where teachers can become more intimate with their own practice, more responsive to participants, and more sustainable in their teaching life.

我的督导风格是温暖、直接，并以探询为核心。我将督导视为一个反思性、关系性的空间，在其中，教学实践、个人修习与专业成长可以彼此相遇。

我关注的不只是课堂上发生了什么，也关注教师是如何与所发生的一切相遇的。

在督导中，我会关注教师的教学意图、假设、习惯模式、身体反应、情绪基调、边界感，以及保持临在的能力。我常常支持被督导者慢下来，更直接地感受，并细致地看见那些教学中变得困难、鲜活或不确定的时刻。

我希望提供一个非评判但真诚的空间。当有帮助时，我会温和而清晰地点出一些模式或盲点，同时也支持教师发展自主性和信心。我通常不会急于给出答案，而是邀请被督导者通过反思、具身觉察和好奇心，从自己的修习中发现更善巧的回应方式。

我的督导也深受具身视角的影响。我会关注身体、声音、动作、关系场域和团体过程，因为这些常常揭示出有关教学临在和学习过程的重要信息。我尤其关注教师如何在教学中整合清晰、慈悲、伦理敏感性和真实感。

对我而言，督导不只是解决教学问题的地方。它也是一个让教师更贴近自身修习、更能回应学员、更能持续走在教学道路上的空间。

Personal Practice  个人修习

My personal practice has developed through mindfulness meditation, body-based contemplative practices, traditional Chinese embodied practices, yoga, Tai Chi and dance.

I began practising traditional Chinese body-based disciplines, such as standing practice, from the age of 14. From the age of 16, I became interested in classical Chinese wisdom traditions, including the Yijing, which have continued to inform my understanding of change, balance and human life. Since 2016, I have studied Chen-style Tai Chi with Grandmaster Chen Xiaowang and became his formal indoor student.

Since 2015, I have undertaken systematic mindfulness training and have maintained a regular personal mindfulness practice, including sitting meditation, body scan, mindful movement, walking meditation and informal mindfulness in daily life.

I usually attend one or two retreats each year. I have also attended several five-day silent online retreats organized by The Mindfulness Network. Movement continues to be an important part of my practice, both formally and informally. It helps me stay connected with the body, emotions and relational field, and it deeply informs the way I teach and supervise.

For me, personal practice is the ground of teaching and supervision. It supports me in meeting uncertainty, difficulty and vulnerability with more steadiness, kindness and clarity.

我的个人修习通过正念禅修、身体取向的观照练习、中国传统功法、瑜伽、太极和舞动逐渐发展而来。

我自14岁起开始练习中国传统身体功法，如站桩；自16岁起开始接触国学智慧，包括《易经》等，这些传统持续影响着我对变化、平衡和生命处境的理解。2016年起，我拜师陈氏太极拳宗师陈小旺先生，并成为其入门弟子。

自2015年起，我系统接受正念训练，并保持规律的个人正念修习，包括静坐、身体扫描、正念动作、行走禅，以及日常生活中的非正式正念练习。

我通常每年参加一到两次静修，也曾多次参加 The Mindfulness Network 组织的五日线上静默静修。动作一直是我修习中的重要部分，无论是在正式练习中，还是在日常生活中。它帮助我与身体、情绪和关系场域保持连接，也深深影响着我的教学和督导方式。

对我而言，个人修习是教学与督导的根基。它支持我以更多稳定、善意和清明，去面对不确定、困难和脆弱。
