Jacci Lea

Jacci Lea began yoga in New Orleans as a way to help with some back pain. Nearly fifteen years later she still practices yoga. After many years of Iyengar yoga she now combines the techniques and alignment of that style with flow yoga.

She taught classes for several years at Wild Lotus Yoga in New Orleans before moving to Asheville (just a week before Hurricane Katrina).

She feels that yoga is a practice that can benefit anyone no matter what age or level of physical ability. One does not need to have a flexible body to enjoy the calming benefits of yoga. Her Foundations class guides beginners and experienced yogis and yoginis to learn basic techniques in the postures as well as focus on breathing. Her Restorative class is open to all as a time for gentle stretching, relaxation, and meditation.

Jacci received her yoga teaching training at Living Yoga in Austin, TX. Outside of the yoga studio Jacci has worked as a Medical Technologist for 25 years. She enjoys meditation, walking, music, and being with people.
