Hello seeker and soul-searcher
I’m Leslie Ellis
My colorful life encountered chaos, divorces, anxiety and depression amongst the raw beauty of it all. As I learned to trust myself in newways I developed unique methods to teach this.
My yoga teaching and coaching work invite you to feel into your body and mind and become acquainted with your own rhythms. What do I need and want? How far can I go? Where are my edges? What happens if I push? When should I lean back?
And as you learn to pay attention and discern for yourself you begin to experience the freedom, vibrancy and an aliveness that comes from feeling clear and settled.
You are insightful, thoughtful, and you know yourself pretty well
Yet, you find yourself feeling stuck and not able to move forward,
experiencing lack of confidence, negative self-talk, frustrated when the
same old issues rise back up to the surface.
You thought you were past that by now.
