OUR TEACHERS

 THIS IS OUR FAMILY 
​Free Spirit Warrior Yoga is all about being creative while still honoring authentic yoga teachings. We will stress the importance of keeping the mind focused on the observation of the body and the breath. You will work towards taking a rest when your body is calling for it – instead of when your mind is telling you to give up. We encourage you to acknowledge where you are today, honor your body, and be thankful for each practice. Our classes incorporate asana (postures) practice, Pranayama (breath work) and Yoga Philosophies. While your practice here will be physically challenging, the emphasis is for this physical movement to occur only with consistent breath and steady mind.What a beautiful thing it is to find a way to benefit your body, mind and soul while having fun and connecting with a most wonderful community! Welcome to our Family!

about Geena
Since a very young age Geena Lee has been passionately curious about what humans are, why we are here, and how we relate to our planet. Her hungry questions naturally led her to study art, animal behavior, anthropology, ecology, and anything else that fed her curiosity. Over 10 years ago she discovered belly dance which would bring her to a new study - movement. Through this practice she noticed profound changes in her brain, body, and energy. She put her science hat on and turned inward to study herself. Yoga became a necessary tool to explore her internal environment. Geena found movement to be her greatest medicine, one of her wisest teachers, and one of the most exciting studies. She hopes to help others discover the knowledge that they have stored in their bodies through the classic yoga postures, breath work, meditation, and dance. As with any science she views the process of discovery to be ever developing - the only expectation is constant change.

about GEORGE
For George, Yoga has been a journey and embodiment into the mind, physical body and soul. George’s Yoga practice and teachings encompass a deep relationship between love, awareness, and mindfulness. His teachings all stem from a desire to help others. As the evolution of self-awareness became more intimate in George’s life, so did his yogic path. He has traveled the country to attend many retreats in order to more deeply study meditation, breath work and yoga. He believes that finding stillness, being mindful and loving life are the keys to happiness. Much like his beliefs, his classes will have a deep emphasis on breath, holding poses, engaging and softening the body while being fully present. George has completed his 200 YTT at Peaceful Warrior Yoga where he has been practicing for years. Besides Yoga, Paddle boarding, sunsets, being in nature, living a holistic life and family are things that continually move his spirit.
