Leslie

Seeking relief from post-traumatic stress, Leslie found Hot Yoga in 2006. By 2008, she resigned from the RCMP and has been a full-time yoga instructor ever since. Leslie views yoga practice less as a "work-out" and more of a "work-in". She appreciates the meditative potential brought by connecting one's mind and body, and one's movement and breath on the mat. Leslie spends several months per year immersed in the spiritual culture of Vrindavan, India where she has practiced and studied since 2014. Leslie's deep respect for yogic practices such as Kirtan and Japa, within the Bhakti (devotional yoga) tradition, influence and inspire her teaching style. Leslie shares her teachings through many yoga styles including traditional Hot Yoga, Hatha Flow, and Vinyasa classes.
