Yoga began as a way to calm her body, connect with her breath and feel strong, but as she practiced for a long time and with sincere devotion, she began to notice a deep curiosity inside of her to learn more. She began attending workshops given by the teachers who came before her and decided to complete a teacher training program in 2016. With a deep love for the Ashtanga Vinyasa System, her practice began to take on great importance and influence not just on the mat, but off of the mat in her regular life. This physical practice began to open up a world of spirituality and connectedness that she never imagined. Today, Leslie shares her knowledge and the gifts of yoga with young adults in their twenties who are in recovery from Substance Use Disorder and Mental Health. She combines both breath, movement and meditation with her clients and hopes to spread the gifts of yoga philosophy and practice with her community.
