Meridian Systems Yoga
Gentle Yoga Classes in Santa Fe, NM

A simple, gentle & accessible method
combining yoga & Traditional Chinese Medicine

Meridian Systems Yoga is a yoga method that uses simple, gentle & accessible asanas (yoga postures) to stimulate Qi (pronounced Chi) flow and remove Qi blockages of particular meridian groups in the body.

Gentle enough & available for complete beginners, older individuals and all fitness levels — no prior yoga experience needed. Classes in Santa Fe.

Working similarly to acupuncture, Meridian Systems Yoga (MSY) stimulates Qi flow, removes Qi blockages and harmonizes the various meridians, organs and energies of the body.

It utilizes the meridians of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), their physical and emotional correspondence through a simple practice that is available for people of all ages with different body types and fitness levels. Thus it makes both yoga and TCM more widely accessible.

The Meridian Systems Yoga (MSY) classes are simple, gentle and accessible to people with a wide range of body types and fitness levels.

Each session follows MSY’s unique sequence, working through postures that correspond to specific meridian groups in the body. Classes move slowly and intentionally – there is no rushing, no holding difficult poses, and no expectation of physical flexibility. Lee adjusts every session to the needs and goals of every student.

Currently, private classes are available at his studio at $75 per hour, payable online or in person at the studio. Book a time and Lee will be in touch. He asks for 24 hour notice for rescheduling or cancellation.

Please arrive at least 10 minutes before class to allow time for setup.

Meridian System Yoga practicioners say

  • I can say without a doubt that MSY restored my health, in a bit more than a year. Ten years ago I was diagnosed with Pleurisy in my right lung. After lots of analysis I went to surgery and came out of all this story very, very weak. I Could not work out at the gym at all. I ran out of breath very quickly and sweat a lot, even after doing very little effort. Then stumbled onto MSY – a life changing experience!! Whereas Hatha Yoga restored part of my health, MSY restored my total health.

  • Meridian Systems Yoga works like a miracle for me. It feels like no other yoga class that I’ve ever taken. Before coming to Lee’s classes my kidneys were failing. My doctors believed that I would need a kidney transplant. Four months into Lee’s classes and my kidneys are fully functioning again. My doctors could not explain this, but I started feeling better after my very first class. I feel that Meridian systems yoga is helping me unblock my emotions too. Everything in my body is flowing in a positive wholeness that I never felt before. It helps me carry on through my days with lower levels of stress, anxiety and worry. I sleep much better at night too.

    – Joyce W.

  • I find that Meridian systems yoga feels just like after acupuncture treatments. After your classes I feel inner warmth & energy flowing through my spine, pelvis, shoulders and arms. I feel a sense of peacefulness, calmness & bliss throughout my entire body.

    – Michelle R.

  • Lee, I have to tell you that after class, my body was “buzzing,” and even though I was tired, I felt energetic. I am presently on a journey of learning about my energetic body through chiropractic treatments. My experience with you seems like another step along that journey! I am looking forward to learning more about your yoga method. I have never “buzzed” that way after doing yoga before!
