After practicing yoga since her early twenties, in 2014 Abbey-Lee decided to turn her passion into her career. She first trained as a family / youth yoga teacher later making the transition to focus more on adult yoga. She is passionate about yoga and considers it a blessing and honour to guide others in their yoga practice, their journey. Her philosophy is that yoga is holistic and that our practice should serve us, not the other way around. The embodiment of loving kindness for oneself, transcends into the wider world.

After a decade in the fast-paced world of corporate marketing, I decided it was time to hit pause and focus on something closer to my heart (and sweat glands!). Enter Hot Pilates! I dove headfirst into teacher training at Breathe, and now I’m living my passion—helping people get stronger, healthier, and just a little bit sweatier, one hot Pilates class at a time!

Now with a regular Yoga practice and Hot Pilates workouts my back and core has never been so healthy and strong.

When I understood how much physical exercise can do for my mental wellbeing it became the biggest motivating factor for me in developing a regular practice. My goal whenever I teach a class is that you walk out of the room feeling better than when you walked in. I practice and teach for mental health. Getting fitter and stronger in the body is an added bonus!

For me teaching is a privilege, being able to guide you through your practice and your journey. I look forward to seeing you in the hot room.
