Today we’d like to introduce you to Denise Lee
Hi Denise, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
In 2019, I began researching Wellness programs because I wanted to continue to teach and instruct after, I retired from the NYC DEPT of EDUCATION. I found myself attending a Chopra webinar and meditated for the first time during the webinar. I instantly knew Wellbeing Coaching was what I wanted to do!
Six Certifications later, I am a Chopra Certified Health Instructor, Meditation Teacher, Wellbeing Coach, Yoga Teacher, Vedic Educator, and Chopra Scholar.
As a result og this extensive training, I am more grounded, fulfilled, and peaceful. I am passionate about things ancient teachings, and love sharing this profound and life changing wisdom. I help people find more joy, peace, and self-acceptance.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
It took many years for me to fully accept that I was a teacher, and that teaching was an highly desirable skill that would be needed in every industry. I tried to leave the profession many times but I always returned. It was Deepak Chopra who said that teaching is the highest and most honorable profession; everyone is a teacher to someone.
Now that, I fully accept my Dharma (Purpose); Teaching is how I serve others and myself. Not knowing your purpose or Dharma can lead you astray. Although, I remained a public school teacher for 25 years, I did other things that required educating others. And as I reflect on those other pursuits, I can honestly say, I am more fulfilled while teaching and sharing information.
I think most of my adult life has been a struggle because well meaning people wanted to placed me in a box, that served their idea of who I should be. I allowed it because I was not completely connected to my Life Purpose or Dharma.
Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am an emotional wellbeing coach for professional women who are exhausted and anxious from over extending themselves personally and professionally. I specialize in supporting clients desired outcomes, through the application of mindful self care practices and tools
I am also a Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher. I teach yoga weekly to groups and individuals desiring a deeper connection to themselves and others. During my yoga sessions, I encourage my students to explore emotions that arise, then let them go. My sessions are designed to to bring about transformation to the mind and body, Yoga is more than a method of exercise. It is a path for self actualization and deep inner healing.
My yoga classes are accessible to everyone. Everyone is welcome! I believe I have removed the barrier of who can practice yoga. Everyone benefits from yoga, regardless of age, gender, religion, or physical capability. I invite people to join my classes every where I go.
Everyone has a vision for themselves, family, community, or corporation. I provide a space for the expression of one’s highest vision and then, with my client, co create a plan of action and execution. This can be achieved through yoga, coaching, or both.
