01 / THE PERSON

Not a distant philosophy.
A way of living.

“I begin each morning with this comb. For me, caring for the body is also a way of caring for the heart and mind.”

Iris is one of the co-founders of Shanxin Tang. Five years of exploring Chinese classical wisdom and everyday self-care inform what she shares—not as an abstract ideal, but as a practice she returns to.
