1:1 Personalized Attention
If you think teaching yoga is difficult, if it challenges your ego and humility, if you feel equally thrilled and terrified…congratulations! You’re doing it right.
AND that doesn’t mean you have to go it alone. In your monthly meetings, we’ll address any challenges or obstacles and take on self-study exercises to help you awaken the teacher within.
Creative exercises and reading
Using a few primary texts, we’ll explore the ongoing process of being a yoga teacher together.
Meet Leah
Leah’s yoga study began as a freshman at UCLA in a damp room amongst the eucalyptus trees. Honestly, it didn’t make much of an impression.
Years later, to deal with the stress of working in the morally corrupt entertainment industry, she started attending classes at YogaWorks on Montana Street in L.A. She cried on her mat multiple times per week until she realized she should quit her job and do a 200 Hour YTT. Which is what she did!
After that, she moved to NYC and completed her 300 Hour YTT (also with YogaWorks). By that point, she had found her lineage and devoted herself to studying Iyengar yoga.
Her grounded approach to teaching combines the Eight Limbs of Astanga Yoga with practical applications and an emphasis on coming home to your body, just as it is, in this moment.
