BAYLEE
YOGA
About Baylee
Baylee was first introduced to yoga when she was just 18 years old at a small studio in Tucson, AZ. After experiencing overwhelming peace of mind during her first class, she knew this practice was going to change her life in an incredibly positive way. After attending classes in Tucson for almost 3 years, she decided to deepen her practice in Denver, CO, where she worked as a karma yogi at The Yoga Pod. Dedicating her time to serving others gave her a sense of pride she had never experienced before. It was then that she decided to allow this practice to become an essential part of her life.
In 2014, she received her 200-hour certification with Kripalu School of Yoga. After moving back to Arizona, Baylee has been able to share the practice of yoga to her community. By embodying the role of both the teacher and the student, she strives to live this yogic lifestyle by which she’s been called to live. Baylee does her best every day to let this show, both in her classes and off the mat.
“My goal as a teacher is that you leave the room feeling refreshed, balanced, and nourished. I look forward to seeing you on your mat!”
