Lee Gaines

As an experienced yoga student, I hired Lee for a private yoga session for three women on vacation in Scottsdale. Lee exceeded my expectations in every regard.
He was professional and arrived to our appointment a few minutes early with mats and props in tow. Lee helped us set up. He spoke to us individually to assess our yoga abilities and physical concerns. Lee may have had a yoga sequence in his mind, but he was adaptable once we began our practice. He offered modifications and adjusted our practice as it suited us. Lee has a calming spirit and a delightful disposition.
Lee is the embodiment of yoga principles — acceptance, breath-​work and paying attention to where you are now. Our group represented different ages, abilities and sizes. Lee led the class without judgment and let us explore the practice in a way that was meaningful to our group. He used props, offered gentle support, reminded us to breathe, etc. It was one of the best yoga classes I’ve experienced in my five years of practice. I felt energized after my practice with Lee.
If I lived in Phoenix or Scottsdale, I would frequently attend class with Lee. I would definitely hire Lee for individual yoga lessons or for private yoga lessons with a group. He has set the bar very high.
Finally, Lee has an interesting back story about his path to physical health through yoga and nutrition. I would also hire him to guide me to leading a healthy and nutritious life.

Lee came to our resort villa to lead us in a private yoga class. Since we were visiting from out of town, he was prepared with mates, blankets, blocks and a wonderful spirit to lead us in a great yoga experience. It was just like we were in any yoga studio, but better. We were set up in our common area of the villa which allowed for a very comfortable atmosphere.
We could tell that Lee has a lot of experience. He was able to adapt the moves based on each of our skill levels or physical limitations. He maintained a calm demeanor and gentle touch to help us reach our potential.
I wish I could find a yoga instructor like him in my hometown because I would attend yoga more often. He gave me suggestions on the type of classes I should look for that would help my strengthen my core. Lee got me excited about yoga all over again. I’m searching for Lee in Birmingham.
He’s a great instructor and you just have to experience yoga with Lee. You will be inspired and rejuvenated!

I hired Lee to come and lead a 90 minute yoga session at a private residence for 9 women. We were visiting from out of town and I just completely lucked out in finding Lee online. When I reached out to him to inquire about his focus, style, fee, etc., he was incredibly kind, flexible and approachable.
He arrived at the house and was incredibly warm and welcoming to all of us. During the session, which we held outside, he was very conscientious of the varied ability levels within the group and tailored the session and movements accordingly, offering progressive levels of difficulty for the various poses. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the session and Lee’s calm demeanor– definitely a highlight of our girls’ weekend!

First time yoga student. I hope my next time I can clone Lee Gaines. He was so patient and calming, because I was definitely anxious.
We hired Lee to give 3 ladies of mixed ages and abilities, a private yoga class in our villa. He made sure I had the correct posture. We were traveling from out of town, so he brought everything we needed, blankets, straps, bricks, and mats. Most of all he brought his fantastic disposition. I never ever felt like I could not do what was instructed. I am definitely going back to Atlanta to do yoga. My standard bearer is going to be Lee Gaines. The seasoned person in our group said he was excellent. So … many thanks for your inspiration to live better and take care of myself.
