Leah is a yoga teacher, writer and passionate world traveler. From Leah's very first encounter with yoga, she was hooked. She fell in love with the pure dichotomy of the practice: the stark contrast between the strength and power compared to the grace and surrender. She enjoys the beautiful dance between the two extremes that happens on (and off!) her mat every day. Leah has been a passionate, dedicated practitioner since her very first class.
A grateful student of her vastly knowledgeable teachers, Leah teaches a fusion of the many styles that she has studied with a strong emphasis on breath, alignment and the sacred balance between effort and ease in the practice. Her classes find equal emphasis on strength building of the mind, body and soul, as well as flexibility of the same. Leah has teaching experience in Hong Kong, Thailand, Cambodia, Costa Rica, Thailand, Croatia and more.
When Leah is not teaching, she can be found practicing handstands in the sand, surfing a beautiful coastline, chasing the sun, finding magic and eloquence playing with words or traveling to far ends of the globe with her mat in hand.

I love seeing the moment, or moments, when students realize how good it can feel to be really in your own body. Yoga, bodywork, getting outside, physical adventures are all incredible tools to explore what it is like to really be in your body. And the journey to embodiment really is a beautiful one to witness.
