Joseph Lee – Instructor
I began the practice of Bikram's Yoga in 1996 and was immediately taken by the duality of this most dynamic and transformational yoga. (Kill yourself, take care of yourself... Use 100% of your strength, relax completely...etc.) Some of the unexpected benefits I experienced were more restful sleep, improved energy, elevated moods, better digestion, healthier skin, dramatically improved immune function, radiant skin, deep satisfaction/accomplishment, and a strong sense of community. Of course, my expectations of improved flexibility, increased muscle tone and definition, better balance and mental clarity were greatly surpassed. Working as a hairdresser for 20+ years had taken it's toll on my body. Bikram's Yoga completely eliminated the ware and tear of standing on hard surfaces, poor posture and long strenuous hours.
In 2003 made the decision to attend Bikram's Teacher Training, taking my interest, love and passion for yoga to the next level. Since receiving my certification I have been blessed to lead classes in Colorado, NYC, Miami and Dublin. I believe my teaching style honors of the "magic" of the 26 postures and 2 breathing exercises. When leading class, I strive to bring awareness to the many intricate and sometime subtle details of this demanding and life-changing practice.
