Hi, I’m Ceri Lee!
Yoga-Light was created to support and inspire you with the empowering practice of yoga. I’ve been teaching yoga and working in the wellness space since 2001, and it has become a life mission to help people discover how yoga, breath, and meditation can become practical tools for strength, healing, and balance. Together, we’ll explore practices that meet you where you are and work in a way that truly supports you.
“As well as a strong and supple body, when practiced regularly, yoga can give you a profound sense of balance, clarity, and peace.”
Why you will benefit from working with me…
I bring lived experience of many life challenges, offering grounded and compassionate support for managing stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm.
Having taken extensive yoga training, from remedial and advanced practices to Menopause Yoga, allows me to create inclusive, sustainable, and non-judgemental practices for every body.
With expertise in areas such as Life Purpose coaching and breathwork I can help you reconnect with your direction, strengthen mind–body balance, and restore natural energetic flow.
I offer Reiki healing and women’s circle facilitation, supporting the release of energetic blockages and nurturing spaces that honour and celebrate the divine feminine
My story
I discovered yoga in 1993 through books while beginning an acting career. A regular practice brought a calmer mind, greater strength and flexibility, and a natural shift toward healthier eating. By 2000, I felt called to teach professionally, training with the Yoga for Health Foundation in the UK in Remedial Yoga, and at the Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram in India, where I experienced a disciplined spiritual path and physically demanding practice. Summers spent as a karma yogi at Sivananda Headquarters in Canada deepened my immersion in yogic life, heightened my energetic awareness, and led me to Reiki, completing attunements in 2005.
Motherhood arrived in 2006 with the birth of my first son shortly followed by his brother. While raising them in Essex, I continued teaching yoga classes and retreats internationally. During this time, I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Through mindset, nutrition, yoga, and Reiki, I learned to manage my health and witnessed how stress held in the body can lead to pain or illness, while yoga and energy work support release and healing.
Seeking female community, I co-founded Essex Red Tent in 2013, a women’s circle that grew across East Anglia and later online, inspiring me to bring women’s circles to Wales and collaborate on events honouring the divine feminine.
In 2018, I returned to Wales with my children and opened the Yoga Light Centre in Ruthin. A renovation project that took six months to complete. Transforming a Victorian derelict shop and self-contained ground floor apartment into a yoga studio and ideal space for anyone seeking natural, healthy lifestyle practices, healing, and transformational growth. You can read about the renovation story in Wales Online here.
Following a hysterectomy and surgical menopause in 2020, I have taken further training and am now certified in Menopause Yoga, Trauma Informed Yoga, Life Purpose Coaching, and currently studying Diet & Nutrition to diploma level. I continue to teach weekly Yoga Studio Classes, run Retreats and Online Yoga programs that support wellbeing, and will be leading the first accredited Yoga Light 200+ Teacher Training Course from September 2026.
