JACCI LEA
I enjoy teaching beginners and people new to yoga as well as those with injuries or physical limitations.
My I teach a variety of yoga classes combining methods from Viniyoga, Iyengar, and vinyasa yoga. I work with individuals using therapeutic yoga to address specific needs. All group classes cover basic techniques, alignment in postures as well as focus on breathing and relaxation.

MY “WHY”
things i like to do
Off the yoga mat I enjoy walking and hiking with my husband and my 11 pound poodle, Dinky. I also enjoy meditation, music, camping, drawing, and cooking. I love Asheville and the people who live here.

I currently teach group yoga classes in various locations throughout the Asheville area. I also offer Therapeutic Yoga for individuals.

I complete my 200 hour yoga teacher training at Living Yoga in Austin, Texas. I am a certified Yoga Therapist through Subtle Yoga (eRYT500). I also have a BS in Medical Technology and worked in the medical laboratory field for 25 years.
Even though she may be teaching a large group, Jacci is sure to check in with individuals and is always careful to offer different options that are appropriate for her audience. She is a very intelligent, skilled and sensitive instructor whose classes are truly wonderful.
