Community Highlights: Meet Helen Lee

Today we’d like to introduce you to Helen Lee.

Hi Helen, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
I started taking yoga classes while I was training for a half marathon in 2017. I had only taken a few classes before then and didn’t really know if I would stick around after I completed my half marathon training. Over the weeks, I fell in love with yoga and kept up my practice after the race. A few more months passed and a teacher training was coming up, so I signed up and the rest is history! I loved learning more about the history and practice of yoga and I was excited to share that knowledge with others!

The teacher training was an eight months process with 200 hours of training. After I completed my certification, I taught in person at a studio until everything was shut down with the Covid-19 Pandemic. As the Pandemic continued and teaching in person was limited, I wanted to provide an at home options for anyone wanting to practice yoga – this is how Helen Lee yoga began!

I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
I was teaching in a studio until the covid-19 Pandemic hit and then started teaching virtually through the studio. As the Pandemic continued and studios were struggling to make it, teachers were let go and classes were dwindling. I continued practicing online and taking classes in person when I could, but I missed teaching! In March of 2021, I took the leap and started my online studio and it’s been a fun journey! I have connected with new and old friends since I started and it’s been amazing to watch this small business grow!

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
I started this online yoga business during the Pandemic to make yoga accessible and easy for anyone to enjoy yoga or fitness at home! I teach group classes on Zoom, private classes, and Group/Corporate Events. Each of these options can be customized to your needs and can be in-person or on Zoom.

My number 1 goal is to help people attain their fitness goals by empowering them and for them to know they are strong and beautiful! Everyone has a different body type and yoga truly is for everyone – no matter what you look like on the outside, yoga will transform you from the inside out!

I love connecting with people and sharing my love for yoga and fitness with others! It has been an exciting few months and cannot wait to see what the future holds for Helen Lee Yoga.

What makes you happy?
I do what I love each day, and that is practice and teach yoga! This is not just a workout but a meditation that changes your mind and body! Yoga is about taking time for yourself so you can then love others in the best way possible! It clears your mind, heals your body and gives you confidence in everyday life! Yoga makes me happy and I am so thankful I get to practice it each day!
