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 began to trust myself in new ways I developed unique methods to teach this.
My teaching and coaching work invite you to to feel into your body and mind and become acquainted with your own rhythms. How far can I go, where are my edges, do I want to push today or is it a leaning back day?
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 trapped in the hamster wheel of life, experiencing lack of confidence, negative self-talk, whilst the same old issues rise back up to the surface.
You thought you were past that by now.
Welcome to the Art of Sacred Self Care
My 30 plus years experience as a yoga teacher/therapist, occupational therapist, Soul-based coach, and mentor to yoga students and to yoga teachers gives me a strong and deep foundation for supporting you to awaken to the joy of being YOU allowing you to bring your gifts fully into the world.
