Lexie Heron

certified coach & program director

Lexi is a little ray of sunshine that you wish you could keep in your pocket and pull out whenever you need to be cheered up. She is a 500hr Baptiste Certified Yoga Teacher and Strategic Intervention Coach. She is also the Content Developer, Program Director, impromptu I.T. guy, AND Chief Ragamuffin here at Shift Labs Inc.

She has been committed to the service of others since the first yoga class she taught in 2016. It began with creating an experience of freedom and joy for her students’ minds and bodies. This drove her to dive deep into the study of empowering others to create more freedom and joy in their whole lives. She left an unfulfilling career in the mining industry to first travel the world and then to pursue her dream of serving others in a powerful and impactful way has been the greatest accomplishment of her life! She can’t wait to help you shift your vision and take your power back as the creator and master of your own life!
