With yoga by his side when he was studying in Japan, Lee experienced how it beneficial it can be for his mind and body. This experience was the seed that started him on the path of yoga. In 2008 he began teaching yoga after he completed RYT 200-hour teacher training course with Louisa Sear’s Yoga Arts.

Even though he did fulfill his dream of becoming a yoga teacher, Lee’s yogic path was still filled with trials and tribulations. He has gone through a period of completely obsession with yoga, practicing day and night. He has been injured and has been through questioning and exploring what was the right practice for him. And now he realizes perhaps finding balance in the present moment is the most comfortable and suitable way to practice.

As someone who has never been flexible, Lee emphasizes experiencing each pose in a gradual, step-by-step manner. Having been injured in his yoga practice, he also encourages students to practice slowly, enjoying each breath, enjoying each stretch, enjoying one self in each and every moment.

Lee was very grateful for the time that he taught at SPACE and everyone’s support and encouragement while he was here. It allowed him to get back to his yoga practice and studies after he was settled. During the time when he was not here, he worked for a few non-profit organizations, where he unexpectedly learned the spirit of Bhakti yoga – when we can offer wholeheartedly, we feel the true satisfaction.

His early experiences in Zen meditation, along with his yin yoga practice and his study in body massage has allowed him to gain many insights in a long-holding practice. He hopes through his own experience, he can help students to find their own gentle strength on the path of yoga.
