Lea Jylha

Lea started practicing yoga thirty years ago when she was forced to slow down to heal a recurring basketball injury.  After the first practice she was captured by the intensity and healing qualities that her body desperately needed. Years of competitive training had taken a toll and it was time for her to find balance. As a result, yoga became part of her lifestyle.  She began to notice increased energy, improved flexibility, mobility, and a mental sharpness that filtered into all aspects of her life.

As an experienced teacher, Lea has taught a variety of age groups in physical and health education. She emphasized the importance of overall fitness and healthy lifestyle habits, while incorporating the benefits of the mind-body connection.

Teaching yoga is a perfect opportunity for Lea to blend teaching experience and physical fitness. She is compelled to share the power, vitality and wellness she has gained from this healing flow.

​Lea has been teaching yoga in Sault Ste Marie for 16 years. She is a 500 Hour Certified Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga teacher and has completed Level 1, 2 and 3 Teacher Training, Assistant Training, and Basic Training.  Lea has assisted elite level programs as an apprentice at Level 2 Teacher Training and has studied therapeutic yoga which includes rehabilitation and recovery forms of yoga.
