MEMBERS GROUP PROGRAM

Welcome to The Sanctuary

A conscious, uplifting community for soulful, heart-centered humans to immerse in practice with weekly yoga asana and meditation together with Leslie. The doorway to a whole, loving relationship with yourself.

A safe space where you can be wholly yourself. In this container, you’ll experience loving guidance, with no dogma, and community connection that both holds you accountable and accepts you completely.

Be inspired by teachings based in yoga philosophy, the divine feminine, metaphysics, modern science, and the practical wisdom of your seasoned guide.

The Sanctuary is offered virtually allowing you to come together in circle with other seekers and soul searchers from all around the globe.

See what’s waiting for you inside.

Are you ready to finally,
fully love yourself?

There aren’t many places in the world where we get to practice being ourselves without fear of judgement. Where the standard we are held to is the one of being authentic and real. And we are loved for just who we are.
The Sanctuary is one of those places.

What Members Say About The Sanctuary

“I didn't even know that I needed a community like this. But without having this community and without the practices, I don't think I would have weathered what is going on in the world nearly as well as I have.”

— Melani

 
 

“The community is nourishing, the themes are engaging, and the instruction is excellent! Plus, I am so inspired by the readings; when we do the yoga postures, I can feel the poetry in my body!"

Learn the Art of Sacred Self-Care


As we practice together, a confident and deep self-knowing arises. You change from the inside out. No longer willing to hold yourself back, the tired, apologetic layers begin to fall away giving space to the truest and free being in you. With love in your heart, you now express yourself as the authentic you.

Ready to put yourself first?

This program is not for you when:

  • You aren’t seeking new tools to support your physical, mental, and/or emotional balance. Everything is going just fine for you.

  • You are satisfied with how you cope with the challenges in your life. There’s nothing new you want to explore or experience.

  • You know what you’re here for and you have no difficulties fulfilling that purpose every day.

  • You like how you’re engaging with your spiritual practice. You have the support you need or you prefer to do it on your own.

Or, you just don’t have the time, energy, or motivation to commit to yourself. Change is just too hard.

This program is for you when:

  • You’re open and curious and want to make
    real changes in how you feel and how you
    relate to the challenges you face.

  • You feel tired and reactive, it’s hard to stay balanced and centered, and it’s keeping you from doing what you really want to do.

  • You know you have a higher purpose but you feel stuck or unsure about what that is.

  • You want focused guidance and community support to finally make your spiritual practice a consistent and integrated part of your life.

 

The only way you’ll truly benefit is if you are ready
to have a yoga practice that is about more than poses.

And you’re willing to make your practice and becoming more conscious about life a priority.

Then your yoga becomes the way you live.

Hey, I’m Leslie!

I’m so happy you’re here and considering joining me and the community inside The Sanctuary!

I know first hand how hard it can be to establish an abiding yoga practice and how alone you can feel as you work hard to bring your spiritual beliefs into your life and let them help you make the changes you desire.

Let me support you!

I have over 30 years experience of study and practice - and a way of teaching - that I know will help you in seeing yourself in new ways and open up new possibilities for you.

No longer will your yoga be about getting on your mat to do poses (although that sure feels good!) it’ll be about how you relate to, and care for, yourself. It’ll be about how you feel when you walk out into the world as your best self. And it’ll be something that you never say you’ll go do later…

You’ll be “doing” yoga all the time. I’ll show you how.

Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray.

Frequently Asked Questions about The Sanctuary 

  • I teach yoga as a mind, body, spirit practice that is inclusive of yoga posture practice, breathing exercises, meditation, and many other techniques for supporting mindfulness and awareness.

    For exploration of the postures, I teach an alignment based hatha yoga (the physical practice of yoga) that is deeply connected to the spiritual. More than simply working on poses, I teach you to be more embodied. To feel and sense what is going on inside of you.

    I teach a variety of meditation practices to give you tools for calming your nervous system, cultivating peacefulness, and awakening to a more aligned and enlivened you in the world.

  • There are two options for members to choose from:
    Gentle Foundations - recommended for students who want a slower pace or who are early in their yoga practice.

    Experienced/Intermediate - for those who are familiar with yoga, have no injuries, and are ready to explore more challenging postures.

  • The class schedule is determined each quarter with the intention of allowing members from different time zones to all have the opportunity to attend some sessions live. The schedule varies slightly each week for this accommodation. Members are provided with the schedule at the beginning of the quarter to allow you to get the sessions on your calendar. All sessions are recorded so you can also participate at your convenience.

  • All sessions are recorded and many members choose to set their own schedule using the recordings.
    While the meditation sessions do include some group interaction, during the Connection Circle, I always give options and suggestions for those who are watching the recording so you can benefit from the exercises and experience.
    There is no direct interaction during the yoga asana classes so recordings are pretty much the same as participating live.

  • Yes. I love working with people who are new to yoga and are serious about exploring what a well rounded yoga practice could look like.

    Sanctuary members have an option for thier yoga asana (posture/movement) class to attend my Gentle Foundations class which I would recommend most beginners start with.

    Please feel welcome to schedule a Discovery session to talk with me more about your particular needs.

  • I am a trained and experienced yoga therapist and teach yoga from the foundation of this knowledge.
    I teach you how to align your body and to sense and feel your limits to help to mitigate the risks of injury.
    However, in Sanctuary classes I can not give you specific and individualized instruction which you may need when you have an injury.
    Please feel welcome to schedule a Discovery Session and we can talk more fully about what is going on with you. I can let you know during our discussion if I believe your needs can be addressed within the classes.
    I do also offer private sessions including yoga therapy. We can talk about whether this might better support you. Private sessions can also be added to your Sanctuary program at a substantial discount.
