Meet Leslie, Practical Mystic, Spiritual Mentor and Guide
I believe there's enough stress and striving in life already. Our health, wellness and spiritual practices shouldn't be just another thing that we push ourselves with or feel like we're failing at.
As a yoga therapist and Soul-based Coach, I see first hand - in my own practice and in the changes my clients experience - the amazing impact of a slow, intentional yoga practice steeped with sensitivity, and the power of what our bodies have to tell us when we relax and listen.
Too often though, I see teachers giving breath and movement instructions by rote, teaching in a one size fits all way that encourages students to over-effort trying to keep up, and putting on the practices like they are ill fitting clothes instead of learning to feel and sense their own shape and form within the practice.
After over 35 years of yoga and spiritual practice, and over 25 years teaching, I've cultivated a deep and loving relationship with all parts of me, and powerful ways to teach and guide others. Ways that bring people closer to their divinity and, sometimes even more importantly, to their humanness.
With both of these awake in our consciousness we live more freely, in a way that is fulfilling and joyful. We honor the unique gifts we come to bear. And we know that deep resourceful place within where peace resides. We open our hearts more fully to each and every moment.
You are insightful, thoughtful, and you know yourself pretty well
Yet, you still find yourself feeling trapped in the hamster wheel of life,
always busy and often putting everyone else’s needs ahead of your own.
You may experience lack of confidence, negative self-talk,
and the same old issues keep seeming to rise back up to the surface.
You thought you were past that by now.
