Heidi Lee

Yoga Instructor

Meet Heidi...

"I believe yoga can be a transformational experience for mind, body and soul. Giving this gift to others is a deeply rewarding experience"

With over 3,000 hours of yoga teaching experience, Heidi draws from a deep background in Ashtanga and Vinyasa to create a meaningful practice for her students. Originally inspired by the physical health benefits of yoga, she has since expanded her focus to emphasize the spiritual depth and vital connection to the body that the practice offers. Heidi’s teaching is rooted in the belief that yoga is a tool for everyone. She is dedicated to maintaining a judgment-free space where individuals can explore their movement with confidence and curiosity.

 

In Heidi’s classes, you will find a thoughtful balance of challenge and support. She provides a wide range of options for every pose, ensuring that the practice is approachable for beginners while remaining engaging for intermediate practitioners.
