Hi there, I am Leah and I have been on this moving, breathing, holding, releasing, stilling, being journey for sometime now.

​

I believe that our greatest teacher is within and that our body - in it's fullest sense-  knows best what is needed if we could only learn to listen.

 

My initial yoga experience was via the Iyengar tradition when I was a teenager which was exactly what I needed at that point in my life.  Since then I have explored other approaches including Scaravelli and Viniyoga. 

​

I trained with the 'Inner Yoga Trust' in 2001 and then in the Krishnamacharia tradition. I am also a certified 'Yoga for the Special Child' practitioner and  completed the 'Yoga for Cancer' (BWY) programme.

I also co-teach training courses for Yoga Campus on 'Teaching yoga for stress, Burnout and Fatigue Conditions' (see more in 'My Story')

​

My teaching style is constantly evolving as it responds to what is needed in me and what I see, hear and sense from those I work with. When working individually or with a group I prioritise creating a conducive learning environment with the aim of facilitating access to our inner wisdom. I offer practices which promote the gentle release of tension and outmoded, unhelpful physical and psychological patterns which hinder us in our daily lives.

​

Over recent years I have become interested in different movement practices including somatics and Feldenkrais which have helped fine tune my awareness and allowed me to drop even deeper into my own somatic experience. I weave these influences as well as those of other teachers I have studied with – Donna Farhi, Tias Little, Mathew Sanford and Angela Farmer – into my teaching with the emphasis on opening up to our innate awareness and cultivating kindness as we explore our inner experience.

​

I work with groups and individuals and am especially interested in supporting people through challenging times which invariably includes the journey of healing past trauma. 

​

My bodywork very much parallels my approach to teaching. I see my role as facilitating the body's innate capacity (& deep desire) to heal from the inside.
