YogaDance is a refreshing fusion of yoga-inspired movement expressed in a creative and fluid way. YogaDance transcends the traditional boundaries of yoga to incorporate the flowing movements of dance. Bringing classic yoga poses into flowing sequences woven into rhythms transforming with grace from one to another.

Through yoga an awareness of feeling light is experienced.  Adding the dimension of dance enables this feeling to flow into something quite fluid. 

YogaDance is a new exploration of how yoga and dance can be combined and is appropriate for anyone seeking an enjoyable, deeply integrative exploration of body, mind, and spirit movement.

Lee Purdie has studied, taught, and performed different styles of Dance throughout her life and has been a dedicated practitioner of Yoga for thirty years. Following completion of a Yoga Arts Teacher Training over twenty years ago, her dream of blending both passions of Yoga and Dance came to fruition in 2003.

Lee commenced her YogaDance journey teaching weekly classes in Byron Bay and surrounds and performing extended YogaDance routines at the Big Feet, Little Feet productions, which showcased different forms of movement and Dance. Lee fortunately met Jessie Chapman, renowned Yoga teacher and founder of Radiance Retreats, who wanted to include YogaDance classes on her Yoga retreats….18 years later Lee still works with Jessie as a facilitator and YogaDance teacher. Their journey together has also included performing YogaDance routines at international spa conferences in Thailand and Singapore.

Lee trained as a Primary Teacher and later co-founded Bright Lights Performance School with Brian Dale in 2004. They have just celebrated their 20 year anniversary. Lee was able to use her teaching skills and experience as well as her love of Dance to create musical productions with children of all ages. Her love of teaching children and Yoga steered her towards completing the full array of Zenergy Childrens Yoga teacher trainings founded by the inspiring Loraine Rushton. Lee is also a fully qualified Childrens Yoga Teacher.
In 2023 Lee completed her Graduate Certificate in Yoga Therapy with the Yoga Therapy Institute and is working towards her accreditation.

My intention is to reach and teach as many people as possible, the beautiful fluid movement of Yoga and Dance to hopefully create a sense of joy, lightness and balance that I feel within myself.

Movement has been a part of my life since I was a little girl, through Calisthenics and Dance. I was introduced to Yoga 30 years ago and have been practicing ever since.

My teachers inspired me to learn about my body and what it was capable of, but also instilled in me a respect for looking after my health and wellbeing.

I have had the privilege of imparting my knowledge through teaching children right through to adults since the age of 14.

Movement is a non-negotiable part of my daily life. I experience incredible joy and freedom when moving my body and know that I am nourishing and nurturing myself in the process.

Movement takes the focus out of the mind and into the body, giving the mind a break from the daily routine. When flowing through choreographed YogaDance sequences the mind can think of nothing else, giving you a holiday from your thoughts and allowing you to be fully present.
