Lee Hyo-ri Touched by Simple Gift, Remembers Yoga Teacher with Gratitude

Singer Lee Hyo-ri expressed her deep appreciation for a seemingly ordinary gift that evoked heartwarming memories.

On the 12th, Lee Hyo-ri shared a touching anecdote on her social media about her former yoga instructor. She recalled, "On days I forgot to bring hair ties, the teacher always had one ready for me. If not, she'd even take one off her own hair to give to me," reminiscing about these unforgettable moments.

She further wrote, "Seeing the heartfelt gift I received yesterday reminds me of my teacher this morning," alongside a photo of three clear containers filled with black hair ties. While these items are commonplace, for Lee Hyo-ri, they symbolized the profound connection to her yoga practice and the kindness of her mentor.

Recently, Lee Hyo-ri opened her yoga studio, 'Ananda,' in Yeonhui-dong, Seoul, which has garnered significant attention with its one-day classes selling out instantly. Despite her stated policy of politely declining further gifts or sponsorships, she chose to share this particular present publicly via social media, demonstrating her sincere gratitude.

Lee Hyo-ri and her husband, Lee Sang-soon, after marrying in 2013, resided in Jeju Island for 11 years before relocating back to Seoul last year.

Lee Hyo-ri debuted as a solo artist in 2003 and quickly became a top K-pop icon with hits like '10 Minutes' and 'U-Go-Girl.' Beyond music, she has showcased her versatility as an entertainer through various variety shows and acting roles. Currently, she is embarking on new ventures, including her foray into the yoga business.
