Meet MVP Student Halee Randall

This month, we are excited to introduce you to MVP student Halee Randall!

About Halee

MVP: Tell us a bit about you.

Halee: Hello! My name is Halee Randall. My family and I currently live just outside of Cleveland, OH. We spent the last four years in Las Vegas, NV, and recently moved back to the Cleveland area. I’m loving the slower pace and the beautiful nature here!

I have three kids who keep me busy, and in my free time, I enjoy walks, grabbing a coffee, and crocheting. I also have a soft spot for Mexican food—it’s my favorite, and there’s never a wrong time for it!

I’ve really enjoyed creating sequences for my yoga classes. Seeing the final product come to life is so rewarding. I tend to lean toward slower flows and have developed an interest in restorative yoga and all its benefits.

How Halee Got Into Yoga

MVP: How did you get into Yoga?

Halee: I love this question! I truly feel that I was called to yoga. When we moved to Cleveland, I was feeling lost and wanted something just for myself. Yoga kept appearing in different ways—through signs and ideas—even though I had done little to no yoga before.

One day while walking, I realized how yoga aligned perfectly with my lifestyle. From that moment, I researched teaching programs and discovered My Vinyasa Practice. Instantly, I knew it was the perfect fit. I’m so grateful that I followed the signs that led me to this beautiful practice.

Favorite Asana Modifications

MVP: What are your go-to asana modifications to make a class more accessible?

Halee: I love offering simple modifications, like using the wall for balance or suggesting gentler variations of poses. At the beginning of every class, I remind students that everything is optional and there should never be pain. I think it’s a great way to encourage listening to your body.

Practicing Yoga Off the Mat

MVP: How do you practice Yoga off the mat?

Halee: One of my favorite ways is to spend time in nature. I enjoy hiking and finding a calm spot to sit, take deep breaths, and reset. I also take moments throughout the day to reflect on things I’m grateful for and appreciate all that I’ve been given.

Favorite Mantra

MVP: Do you have a favorite mantra?

Halee: Yes! My favorite is “This too shall pass.” It may not be a typical yoga mantra, but it reminds me during tough days that feelings are temporary and life has its natural ebbs and flows. It gives me peace of mind.

Connect with Halee

MVP: Website and/or social media page you want to spotlight?

Halee: You can follow me on Instagram at @yoga.with.halee. That’s where I post about the classes I teach and share fun day-to-day content!
