MOVEMENT AS MEDICINE

I believe that movement is more than physical exercise—it’s a doorway to discovering  confidence and joy in your life. My mission is to help you quiet the noise of your mind and reconnect with the innate wisdom of your body.

When working with me, you'll experience a joyful approach to movement. Whether you’re flowing through yoga poses or releasing tension through restorative techniques, each session is a chance to come home to yourself. I also blend dance fitness, mindful breath and playful exploration to help people rediscover a mind-body connection, self confidence and joy. 

I offer practical tools that extend beyond the mat. Through movement, meditation and breathwork practices, you’ll gain insights to help you feel more present, confident and aligned in your daily life.

Hey there!

I'm Leslie

I'm a dedicated yoga instructor and movement facilitator with a passion for helping individuals connect deeply to your body’s innate wisdom.

From my early days as a ballet dancer to my current work with yoga and embodied movement, I've spent my life exploring the healing potential of movement.

I bring over a decade of teaching experience, from leading dynamic dance classes to yoga sessions, both vinyasa and restorative.

Certified in multiple modalities, I create accessible classes for all levels to empower students to build strength, self-awareness and joy.

With a background in communications, my approachable and compassionate teaching style ensures every student feels seen and supported. My work reflects a grounded belief: movement is medicine, and through it, we can rediscover confidence, clarity and connection to self.

"Thanks for always reminding me that movement is medicine - your class is always a highlight of my week. I didn't realize when I signed up for 'All Levels Yoga' two years ago that you would in fact grow me through ALL levels in life. My practice has grown and you are to thank. "

Becca, current yoga student

Upcoming chances to experience my offerings: 

JUNE 2025
Summer Solstice Harmonic Inner Freedom Yoga, Sunday, June 22, 3:30-4:45 PM

 

The Summer Solstice marks a powerful turning point — the longest day, the brightest light, and a reminder that growth begins within.

On Sunday, June 22, join us for a special Harmonic Inner Freedom Yoga session to honor this seasonal shift. Through a harmonious blend of movement, breath and reflection, you’ll be guided to release what no longer serves and step into your next season with clarity and strength.

This workshop is designed to help you feel grounded, inspired, and deeply connected — even if you’re in transition. You may feel like you’re standing between two worlds: one dissolving, and one still taking shape. You don’t need to have all the answers. You just need to move forward.

Come as you are. Leave feeling lighter, clearer, and more alive. Sign up to reserve your spot now. 

Missi and I are holding monthly events. Each class is curated with a specific focal point for relief in the mind and healing in the body so that you reconnect to the inner freedom available when your nervous system, glandular system, and energetic Chakras are open, balanced, and grounded. Experience the transformative power of Vinyasa, Kundalini, Dance, Breathwork, Chanting & Vocal Vibrations, Emotional Freedom Experience, Tapping, and Shaking. Join us MONTHLY! Next ones are July 27 and August 24. Save the dates!
