I'm happy to be able to share an intimate view of my yoga practice. The inversion practice has always been something that has lured me to the practice of yoga and is something I have been dedicated to achieving. While I've had challenges and road-blocks within my practice, the idea of "letting go" has always remained.

ONE-ON-ONE

"The beautiful thing about yoga is that it encourages us to be content within the present. The more we listen to the present moment and the more we check in within the physical and emotional state of our being, the more clarity we actually receive at the moment we are ready to receive it."

Dealing with an injury?

Leanna specializes in injury treatment and prevention using the practice of yoga. Leanna's training has been through a specific, orthopedic-based program called Yoga Medicine.
Yoga is all encompassing, meaning, it not only looks at the outward body, but the inward as well. This is one of the reasons Leanna believes that yoga can be a crucial player in recovery and healing.
Leanna is passionate about helping clients feel good in their bodies, re-gain confidence, both physically and mentally, and assist in their journey to injury-recovery.

I've been through two, major injuries. It was not only physically painful, but emotionally draining. I fell into depression quickly as I no longer felt my body could do what I wanted it to do. I lost a sense of who I was. Because of this, I am passionate about helping others who are also struggling with the physical and emotional confrontations of injury.

YOGA MEDICINE® MARCH 28, 2018

Does this scenario sound familiar? You’re on your way to your next training. You have spent hours pondering, planning, and packing for this week-long trip. You’ve spent money on new yoga clothes, traveling supplies and new shoes. You’re ready! You have everything you need… Then, you get to the training. You begin to realize you need this item, or that item, and you have to go to the store to buy this, so it ends up costing you more money, and everyone else’s outfits are cuter and look comfier, and you are borrowing the retreat center’s pen, and you’re feeling dehydrated because you didn’t bring the right water bottle, and you keep dropping manuals and props, and you think, “How am I not prepared?”.
