Title: DIY Yogini

Age: Ageless

Location: Seattle, WA

Kimberlee is a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teacher. She has been an American Council on Fitness certified instructor since 1992 and is a YogaFit^® certified instructor. She began her yoga journey in 1996 and has studied a variety of styles but found the adaptive vinyasa (flow) style as taught by YogaFit^® a perfect match with her own personal philosophy that yoga is for everyone. She founded Punk Rock Yoga^SM in July, 2003 to fulfill community service requirements of her yoga certification, but found it ultimately rewarding and continued to offer classes long after fulfilling her obligations.

She believes yoga should bring someone closer to a state of peace through active meditation. Since spirituality is profound and personal, Kimberlee allows students to explore their own spirituality in yoga, rather than dictate that students must all be Hindus/Buddhists/Bahai/etc. In yoga, everyone has a place to work, no matter how long someone has been practicing. Yoga teaches inner strength, so Kimberlee believes people should view themselves from the inside, not from the outside.

In her other life, Kimberlee has taught Web development courses in the Seattle Community Colleges District for more than five years. She has also worked as a managing editor and a freelance writer. Currently, Kimberlee is writing a Punk Rock Yoga^SM book, complete with poses, philosophy, and tips for a do-it-yourself yoga practice.

Kimberlee is also a belly dancer and has spent years studying a variety of dance forms.
