Tiffany Lee

Mysore Yoga CPH - Astanga yoga - Copenhagen - København - FrederiksbergTiffany started practicing Astanga yoga in 2005 under the direction of Tim Miller in Encinitas, California. Her first trip to India (2009) as well as outside the U.S., compelled her to explore the world outside her comfort zone and she has lived abroad ever since. Friendship, life, and love have now landed her in southern Sweden.

Tiffany has been fortunate to share the Astanga practice before MYC in South Korea, Norway, Sweden, Scotland and Taiwan. She shares her insight from her own experiences as well as what she has learned from other senior Astanga teachers and practitioners around the world. Tiffany hopes her teaching will remind others to keep the practice light and to recognize that the practice is not only limited to the confines of the mat.

Off the mat, Tiffany enjoys Mahayana Buddhism, making multiple attempts at a daily sitting meditation practice, cooking whole food, eating all the dark chocolate in the house, and watching films with her husband.
