Leslie Chadwick Movement and Wellness offerings

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:

Monthly Harmonic Inner Freedom Yoga with Missi Banter

We invite you to join us for our monthly offerings, using movement as medicine to help you create your own version of whole-life health - mind, body and spirit. Harmonic Inner Freedom Yoga will weave together a tapestry of somatic-based modalities that support all aspects of mind-body health.

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.

Together, we’ll expand our capacity to experience and recover from the stressors of life. We'll tap into the technologies innate in our bodies that expertly move us out of states of fear and anxiety into states of creativity, connection and joy.

We'll move in ways that feel good, inviting and nourishing. We'll explore new poses, practices, and sequences to stimulate new neural pathways of learning and play. And, we'll learn to restore ourselves to a state of deep rest and recovery.

Dates: Oct. 19, Nov. 16, Dec. 21
