Full Bio

Jennie Lee is a multi-award-winning author, teacher and speaker specializing in classical yoga, meditation and mindful wellness. For over 20 years, she has bridged the universal ideals and practices of Eastern philosophy with the needs and challenges of modern Western living. Her most recent book, Spark Change: 108 Provocative Questions for Spiritual Evolution is a Nautilus Book Award winner. In it, Jennie takes  readers on a deep dive into the practice of introspection as a tool for personal growth and the discovery of purpose. Her book  TRUE YOGA: Practicing with the Yoga Sutras for Happiness and Spiritual Fulfillment offers practitioners tangible strategies to apply yogic science to daily life. It is used in Yoga Teacher Training programs worldwide. And her book, Breathing Love: Meditation in Action delivers a powerful message about loving as an essential and universal spiritual practice.

 

Known for living what she teaches, Lee’s counsel is based on studies in Body-Centered Psychotherapy, Spiritual Psychology, Yoga Philosophy and Meditation. She is a Certified Yoga Therapist with the International Association of Yoga Therapists as well as a Certified Process Therapist. For 10 years she owned and operated the Stillness in Motion Studio for Yoga & Wellness near Boston, MA, offering a full array of weekly classes and workshops. For the past 10 years, she has been writing and coaching privately in Hawai’i for clients who wish to improve their lives through holistic methods. A recognized expert on yoga and spiritual living, Lee’s writing has been featured in numerous magazines and online sites, such as Energy Magazine, Yoga Therapy Today, Mind Body Green, Mantra Wellness, Yoga + Life, Light of Consciousness, Yogapedia, and many more.

 

Lee’s personal application of yoga and meditation to life challenges began during a time of loss and grief when she had nowhere to go except to her practice. Through her yoga studio, she began to see how all the students who came, whether they knew it or not, were there for more than just a physical workout.  In the intimate moments of practice, she realized  everyone was craving a deeper understanding of their life experiences, and a desire to find their true purpose. To meet this need, she began combining techniques from her Master’s work in Spiritual Psychology, with the practices taught in the Yoga Sutras.

 

Now, with over 45, 000 teaching and counseling hours under her belt, and 23 years of personal practice of these teachings, she is a testament to the fact that yoga holds the keys to getting through the difficult times in life and our ability to emerge from them in joy.

 

Lee is a skilled resource for individuals and groups that recognize the need for a proactive wellness initiative, and who are committed to supporting this through holistic health care measures. She provides interactive presentations and counsel for organizational leaders, who are striving for personal congruity and well-being in their lives, and an understanding of how these affect authenticity and fulfillment. The diversity of professionals who have entrusted her with their personal growth speaks to her ability to effectively touch a wide range of individuals. From celebrities to CEOs, military officers to housewives, all have experienced positive change through working with Lee.

 

In addition to individual coaching, Lee has worked with management groups at corporations such as the World Surf League, Draper Laboratory, Prudential Locations Realty, and The Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center and made presentations on yoga, meditation and mindfulness at events such as the Hawaii Book & Music Festival and the National Association for Professional Women, as well as yoga studios and schools nationwide.

 

Lee offers international wellness retreats each year with themes like Living Your Yoga; Stepping into Conscious Trust; and Authenticity and Wellness. She also writes inspirational dramatic screenplays. When she is not writing or coaching, she enjoys surfing and hiking with her husband in Hawaii or practicing Italian with friends in Tuscany.
