As a model of 40+ years, Colleen Saidman Yee admits to being hyper-competitive and needing to be at the center of her classes and her universe. She found yoga in the late 1980s and has been teaching it since the 1990s. She owns Yoga Shanti in Sag Harbor, New York, where her husband Rodney Yee works for her as a teacher.

We sat down to talk about Colleen's journey, which included lying about her age as a model, drug abuse, and major back surgery that happened early in her career. Having fused professionally and personally with Rodney since 2003, she has continued to explore more and more intersectional modalities, such as shiatsu, that she applies in her classes. Colleen was a delight. Listen in and let me know what you think about the episode!
