Lee Smith
RYT200
As a United States Army Veteran as well as being in recovery from drugs and alcohol for over 10 years I have always searched for ways to truly heal myself. Because power yoga focuses on your breath, impacts not only your practice but your daily living, I found something that I truly love and want to give back to others.
Lee brings the heat, his experience, knowledge of trivia and music to his encouraging, enlightening and energetic classes. Be prepared to sweat it out!
Erin Kimbrough
RYT200
Erin’s love and dedication to yoga began years ago as a way to stay physically active and manage stress through graduate school. She fully embraced the call of yoga as a mental, physical, and spiritual practice. Yoga has been one of the great gifts of this life, and Erin seeks to honor that gift through mindful practice, and more recently, teaching. She invites all yogis to explore different modifications and find ways to listen to what their bodies need by taking it back to basics.
