Lee Whack
Lee grew up near Chicago, but has lived in the Fairmount area of Philadelphia since 2015. He ran track and cross country through college, and has always been athletic -- but was looking for something more. After marathons, CrossFit and Tough Mudders, in 2017 he found yoga and has been practicing consistently ever since.
In 2022 he decided to enroll in a 200-hr Baptiste Yoga Certification program and was certified in May 2023. When not deepening his practice, Lee manages development/fundraising for the nonprofit news organization, Resolve Philly, and he co-runs an upstart development/communications consulting collective. You may catch him around the neighborhood, walking his dog, Iverson.
