Yoga …
strengthens the body,
quiets the mind,
opens the heart,
feels good !
They say a true Yogi is practicing yoga before they take their first class.
Lesa has been practicing yoga on and off the mat most of her life. She is as enthusiastic now as when she first began watching early PBS shows and VCR tapes.
Yoga continues to shape her life providing balance and mindfulness.
In 1995, while pregnant with her youngest son, she attended her first ‘real class’ in Webster Groves, MO.
She continued to take classes on and off, and finally found her teacher, Mary Haynes. Mary’s background in Ashtanga and Hatha yoga gently guided her into proper alignment and strengthening. Lesa knew she wanted to deepen her practice of the asanas and the mind body connection. In 2016 she completed her 200 RYT at Yoga Source in St. Louis, MO. The course was deep in tradition, and Lesa continues to respect the early teachings as she weaves the 8 Limbs of Yoga into all of her classes. In 2016 she moved to 30A and began teaching. Lesa completed her 500 RYT certification through Dragon Fly Yoga in 2018. Lesa is also certified in Eldoa 1 & 2, and QiGong. A health care provider for over 30 years, Dr. Klein remains committed to a healthy lifestyle. Part of her career as an adjunct professor, instilled a lifelong commitment to teaching. Her approach to class is gentle, honest and fun loving.
