Mina Lee is the founder of YogaOne Studio in Abu Dhabi and a senior yoga teacher with over a decade of experience in teaching, mentoring, and leading teacher trainings. She leads both 200-hour and 300-hour yoga teacher training programs, as well as specialized trainings in Yin Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).
Her teaching integrates classical yoga philosophy, functional anatomy, fascia science, and the energetic principles of TCM.
Mina is particularly known for guiding teachers to deepen their understanding of yoga beyond physical practice — exploring the relationship between stillness, breath, connective tissue health, and the subtle energy body.
Through her teacher trainings and mentorship, Mina has supported many teachers in developing not only technical skills but also clarity, sensitivity, and a grounded teaching presence. Her work often bridges yoga with the holistic and preventive medical perspective of Traditional Chinese Medicine, emphasizing balance, resilience, and long-term wellbeing.
Through YogaOne, she continues to cultivate a learning environment where practice, study, and community come together to support both personal transformation and professional development.
