Lu is an experienced, certified yoga teacher and is owner of Breathing Room. She started her career as a clinical pharmacist, earning a Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Florida in 1987. After many years, Lu felt drawn to the world of holistic health, dedicating the past 20 years of her life to the study of yoga and the healing arts. She began with Iyengar Yoga, then discovered the deep wisdom of Kripalu in 2000. Lu is certified in Kripalu Yoga, has studied extensively with Shiva Rea in Prana Flow Yoga and with Manju Jois, eldest son of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, in traditional Mysore Ashtanga. She is also a Thai Massage Therapist certified by The Lotus Palm School, a Swedish Massage Therapist certified by Alpha Institute of the Treasure Coast and a 2nd degree Reiki Practitioner.

Lu draws from an intuitive, academic understanding of anatomy and physiology resulting from her many years as a clinical pharmacist and countless private therapy sessions with people of all shapes, sizes and physical limitations. Her style is soft spoken yet powerful. Her classes are meditative, informative, filled with fluid movement, healing energy, poetry, music and love.
