Adriana Lee is all about self discovery and empowerment through yoga. She teaches her students how to breathe, how to feel, and how to get reacquainted with their bodies. As a teacher, she breaks down big concepts and complicated poses to make them more interesting and more accessible. She is a total anatomy geek and is constantly learning more and more about the body so that she can better serve her students. Students leave the class feeling refreshed, connected to their bodies, and empowered.
Adriana is truly passionate about yoga and radiates love to her students. She says, “I found yoga at an impressionable age & important time in my life. I was too young to understand the depth of what I was doing - thought it was just exercise. But it made an imprint on me. Later, I used yoga to get through a challenging relationship and even more challenging divorce. That’s when I decided to become a teacher. It was my safe haven. I learned to be strong, resilient, and more importantly I learned how to feel my emotions fully rather than numbing out. I wanted to share the gift of what I learned. It was way too good to keep all to myself. “ Her intention is to share what she has learned about the magic of movement & the bliss of being.
