Leo is a Senior Yoga Teacher within the Vajrasati school of yoga, accredited with Yoga Alliance 500-hour Teacher Training Plus, and also a therapeutic Thai massage practitioner and has been teaching since 2006.  Both disciplines have their roots within the Buddhist tradition and Leo subsequently teaches from a perspective of compassionate enquiry and non-judgemental-awareness.

Her teaching is creative and playful,  she is passionate about supporting students to meditatively explore reconnecting body and breath as a way of practically calming the nervous system and a busy mind, and reducing everyday stress.

Leo has specialised in supporting women’s health over the years (often with restorative, somatic practises) but also teaches climbers how to integrate yoga into training to avoid injury, so is experienced at adapting teaching to be accessible and appropriate.Whatever your experience and physical ability, you are welcome. Leo’s classes are deep and therapeutic, but always with lightness and humour.

Inspired by yoga in a holistic sense: Leo encourages a deepening relationship between asana, mantra, pranayama and meditation (body, mind, breath and sound) practice on the mat and developing a deeper sense of connection, centre and space beyond.  Yoga, in this sense, informs the way she tries to live, parent and respond to the world; with open awareness, ease, generosity, acceptance and non-judgement.

Morning Sessions: Playful wake up, exploring movement, breath and expanding awareness.

Evening Sessions: Grounding somatics, resorative postures, meditation and yoga nidra to completely de stress.
