About

Hi, my name is Lee-Ann, I am a 500 hour RYT yoga teacher and student, and blogger. I’m so glad you’re here.

Yoga has been a journey of reconnection to my true self, one of healing and self discovery.

I started practicing yoga at 20 years old, soon after I took a hard and honest look at my life and made a some big changes to the unconscious and disconnected ways I was living, using drugs and alcohol to try find some sort of connection which I felt I lacked.

I took to yoga like a duck to water, or a surfer to the ocean. At first, I could only do the physical practice, as there was so much trauma in my body and mind from the life I had lived before, with time, that energy shifted and my mind started to settle and I began to enjoy the more subtle practices of yoga, using the breath or pranayama and meditation as tools to still my mind, taking me deeper into my journey towards myself.

I practiced almost daily for 5 years before doing my first 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at the Shala in 2015, getting as much yoga into my body as I could, as I said, I was hooked! Each asana or pose teaches me new levels of connection within, each new shape is an adventure into my internal world, showing me my limitations and the power of perseverance and as I stay committed to my practice, those seemingly “impossible poses” become possible, my practice is one of expansiveness, just like so much in life, all that’s been required is dedication, to myself and to show up.

Yoga is the gift that keeps on giving, the more I study and practice it, the more I realize how little I really know, keeping me in the role of a student, helping me to remain humble. Over the years I have done various YTT’s continuing to expand my knowledge and understanding of yoga, in 2020, the time came for me to advance my studies and enroll in my 500 hour YTT with Unraveled Yoga.

It is truly my passion and privilege to share this gift of yoga, one of healing, connection and love, with my students, as not everyone gets to follow their dreams and do what they love every day of their lives, I am blessed and grateful to be able to do so.
