Morgan Lee L.Ac, RN

I was a long distance runner who found yoga and went the distance on that too.

I practiced through the 3rd series in Ashtanga Yoga, was Authorized and taught 5 days a week at the original YogaWorks™.

In 2021 I was diagnosed with hEDS which explained my ‘flexibility’ and subsequent yoga injuries from practicing through the Advanced A series of Ashtanga Yoga.

As any good nurse will say, “You are NOT your diagnosis!” I wasn’t going to let a crippling back injury that physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments couldn’t fix stop me from lifting my son out of the crib at 3am.

I didn’t have time to “wait and see,” to come back each week and get nothing. I was beyond the ‘normal’ range of motion for the PT and they said to keep deepening my back bends. The chiro thought yoga was gentle stretching.

I felt it was like taking a Ferrari to a Prius mechanic and thinking that would help.

Being a Nurse, and having a masters degree in Oriental Medicine, I am a huge anatomy nerd. Putting together functional movement, PAIL’s & RAIL’s and acupuncture channel theory, I was able to fix my spine with proper mechanics and strength training at the end range of motion.

I began teaching students how to incorporate these modalities into their yoga practice and suddenly they were learning handstands, repairing rotator cuff tears, and strengthening their knees.

Word got out and I have students in France, Malta, India, and all over the US asking for help with their practice.

Are you ready to deepen your practice and heal?
