In a July 2021 blog for Story + Rain, Lea explained why she is a devoted yogi. “I've been practicing yoga since I was 19 years old. It's by far my most favorite form of working out,” she wrote. “But I practice not only for my body, yoga has helped my mind more than anything I've ever tried before. It centers and grounds me, and connects me to myself at my core. As soon as I wake up, before the baby or anyone else is awake, I take out my mat and do a quick yoga flow. even just for five minutes. It gets my blood flowing, and helps me to feel energized for the day.”

Lea used to focus on being skinny, but now she prioritizes her health. “I feel like I am at the healthiest place in my entire life. It’s not that I’m the thinnest, because I’m not the thinnest I’ve been. But when I was the thinnest, I was not being the healthiest,” she told Health. “I’m definitely the most mentally, physically, and spiritually sound that I’ve ever been,” she explained.
