As an instructor, I am dedicated to using the mind-body connection philosophy of yoga as a direct approach to addressing concerns that adults may have regarding stress, trauma, self-care and overall wellness.  It is my belief that learning how to first reconnect with your mind and your body as a whole; to become more aware of triggers, stressors, habitual patterns, resistances (without judging yourself*), to become aware of how one presently feels, both physically and emotionally, are the first steps towards strengthening, learning and healing. 

Adult Yoga & Wellness classes and services offered by Leela Yoga are tailored to the individual. I welcome all, regardless of gender, ethnicity, age, athletic ability or economic status. You do not need to be experienced or well versed in the practice of yoga to reap it's gifts and benefits.
