Yoga with Jenny Lee

Hey Tutti means hey everyone, and while not every class is accessible for every body, there is a class that's right for you; to help get you out of your head and into your body.

(Tutti is also my cat’s name, so say "hey" when you see her in our virtual classes!)

About

I offer this practice with the perspective of a former professional ballet dancer, having performed and toured the country with Canada’s Ballet Jörgen, The Chimera Project, and Cadence Progressive Contemporary.I think we can find inspiration everywhere, you just have to be open to feeling it. From music to nature to all of the eccentric & brilliant ballet coaches I’ve had; who find multiple ways of teaching a singular element so that every body has an opportunity to understand, digest & apply the information that's offered, in an artful way.Therefore my teaching is heavily influenced by dance. I consider sequencing as one might choreography, with intricate transitions that force you to get present with what’s happening right now, rather than what’s for supper (though that’s important too ;) without you feeling left behind or unable to keep up with the class.It’s my hope that by moving mindfully we can deepen our relationship with our breath (read: prana/life-force), learn to respect our bodies & embrace those which we feel contrast the ‘norm’.In the fall of 2022 I began studying Holistic Nutrition at the institute of Holistic Nutrition, and upon graduation in 2024 hope to work with eating disorder recovery. A holistic approach to life means it's not just the food you eat, it's the people you surround yourself with, the quality of your sleep, and the movement practices you prioritize.Grab 2 blocks and some water (or in my case a cup of mint tea), and I’ll meet you on the mat.xo
