Helen Lee

Helen started yoga as a way to compliment her dance studies only to find herself in more yoga classes than dance classes.  She appreciated the non competitive atmosphere and the sense of calm after every class.  She believes yoga is a powerful, healing practice that can bring strength and grace into anyone's life with endless possibilities. She received her 200hr yoga certification from Chicago Yoga Center with Suddha Weixler and her 300hr yoga certification from Rishikesh Yog Peeth in India.  Passionate about movement and languages of the body, she studied dance and theatre at University of Hawaii and has performed with dance companies in Hawaii, Chicago and New York.  Helen has been dancing for The Humans, a local modern dance company since 2007.  She also dances/choreographs and makes aromatherapy products under the name Momentum Sensorium.  She has performed with Buddah heads in Chicago for an organization called Ten Thousand Ripples to promote peace and nonviolence and travels to Michigan during summer to perform at various lighthouses promoting lighthouse preservation and beauty. 

Teaching since 2007 all over Chicago, she has also had the opportunity to study and teach in Belize, India and Mexico.  Every summer she teaches yoga at the beach in Rogers Park.  One of her favorite teaching gigs is teaching yoga to pre-professional dancers at Hubbard Street Dance Chicago.  She currently teaches for CorePower Yoga and has been involved in leading/coaching Power Teacher Training, Yogi Training, Bootcamp and the Wellness Cleanse.  She is also Pilates mat certified and teaches for Barre Bee Fit and AIR - Aerial Fitness.  In her spare time, Helen enjoys eating kale, whistling and wiggling her toes.
