Hailing from Hong Kong as a motion graphics designer, Lexi has been practicing yoga since 2003 to complement her martial arts and dance background. You may occasionally catch her name in tv and film credits, but more often than not, you’ll find her on the mat.
Lexi founded Blithe Yoga in 2016 as a yoga supper club in her Forest Gate home's living room. Two years later she opened up the Blithe Yoga community studio space in the heart of Stratford.
Blithe Yoga is a welcoming space, providing quality, affordable and accessible yoga for everyone in London's most diverse community in Stratford; a diversity which is reflected in their fantastic teaching faculty.
Lexi’s classes combine strong asanas (postures) with an energetic and playful spirit.
Blithe Yoga offers a variety of yoga but also events too including sound-baths, retreats and yoga supper clubs. Their supper clubs run twice a year with the Winter and Summer solstices - which Lexi hosts with her mother Norah (or “Auntie Norah”) who recently moved over from Hong Kong - complete with Chinese Buddhist food and a sound bath to finish. This year Blithe Yoga has also expanded to offer a therapy and treatment room to provide holistic treatments.
Lexi's personal yoga practice has proved to be transformative, evolving with her life. From an initial athletic and meditative standpoint, to softening whilst being pregnant and giving birth to two children. As a musician with a keen interest in pranayama (breathwork) and philosophy, facilitating soundbaths yokes her musical and yoga worlds with how the mind and body can benefit from sound-work and meditation.
