The Yoga Lee Teacher Training is a vinyasa-based program that honors both the roots of yoga and the realities of modern bodies and modern lives. Rather than following a single rigid style or branded method, this training offers a strong, intelligent foundation paired with creative freedom. It supports teachers in developing an authentic, sustainable, and embodied teaching voice grounded in relationship to the body, breath, nervous system, and community.

Vinyasa serves as the primary framework of the training. Students study breath-led movement, mindful transitions, intelligent sequencing, and the energetic arc of a class. Foundational elements such as Surya Namaskar, functional alignment principles, pacing, and theming are explored in depth. The program intentionally moves away from rote memorization and aesthetic-driven alignment, focusing instead on understanding how and why movement works so practices can be adapted for diverse bodies, needs, and lived experiences.

At the heart of the program is Yoga Lee’s signature Root to Rise Flow. This methodology emphasizes stability before expression, regulation before intensity, and connection before complexity. It blends grounded, accessible movement with creative sequencing, fascia-informed transitions, and nervous system–aware pacing, creating practices that are both supportive and empowering.

The training is led by Dr. Kerry McGinn, Doctor of Physical Therapy, yoga teacher, and educator with extensive expertise in the human body, nervous system regulation, functional anatomy, myofascial science, and lymphatic health. Her background ensures a deeply science-informed, body-literate approach that prioritizes sustainability over performance and honors individual variability.

Ultimately, Yoga Lee Teacher Training represents a living lineage rooted in curiosity, integrity, and relationship. Graduates leave prepared to teach across styles while grounded in a framework that can evolve alongside their teaching and personal practice
