Meet Leigh
My goal is to empower you! We all have the ability to heal ourselves physically and mentally. I am passionate about helping you build a strong healthy body and mind, within a friendly, supportive community.
I believe movement should be accessible to everyone, regardless of age, ability, gender or any other perceived limitation. I use Iyengar inspired methods of alignment and body awareness, with my own twist of incorporating strength and mobility practices to physically heal your body. I like to deliver fun, light hearted classes to keep you inspired.
My conscious connected breathing techniques will allow you to move within, reconcile with past traumas, become more mindful, self-aware and connect to your true purpose.
I first found Yoga in my early 20's whilst suffering with a prolapsed disc. Yoga gave me the tools to find relief and it's been my saving grace physically over the years. I've suffered with anxiety most of my life interspersed with bouts of depression. Movement worked as a coping mechanism but when I discovered deep conscious connected Breathwork it transformed my life! Breathwork stills those negative thoughts in my head and gives me the strength to thrive in life.
When I am not teaching Yoga or holding space for Breathwork I am at my happiest walking amongst nature with my fur babies.
Join the community and become the best version of you!
Namaste, Leigh 🙏🏻

"True Yoga is not about the shape of your body, but the shape of your life. Yoga is not to be performed; Yoga is to be lived. Yoga doesn't care about what you have been; Yoga cares about the person you are becoming. Yoga is designed for a vast and profound purpose and for it to be truly called Yoga, its essence must be embodied."
Aadil Palkhivala, Fire of Love

BREATHWORK
Yogi's have known about the healing power of the breath for thousands of years. Breathing techniques can improve physical and emotional well being and help us connect to our deeper selves.
Using a conscious connected breath (CCB), which means to inhale and exhale without pause, often in combination with breath retention we can induce an altered state of mind which allows our conscious mind to quiten and we enter a deep meditative state.
With regular Breathwork practice we can become more mindful of our thoughts, enabling us to respond to the outside world rather than react to it.
Another intention behind this practice is to exert an internal stressor in a relaxed, controlled manner to build our resilience to external stressors in our daily lives.
This pattern of breathing can also stimulate memories which keep us attached to our past, allowing them to safely resurface, breathe through them, change our response to them and emerge calmer and clearer.
CCB can be used to:
-
Release tension, stress and anxiety and alleviate depression
-
Improve sleep
-
Ease respiratory conditions
-
Boost the immune system
-
Nourish the body and invoke deep relaxation and meditation
-
Release trapped emotions
-
Connect us to a sense of true happiness
-
Increase creativity
-
Develop a new depth to your Yoga/and or spiritual practice


YOGA
I teach an Iyengar inspired method interspersed with general strength and mobility techniques.
I am passionate about building functionally strong bodies regardless of any perceived limitations and encouraging regular basic movements into our daily lives.
Small group classes means attention is given to every person so each pose is accessible. However one on one tuition is available should you wish a fully personal approach to focus on specific areas of your body or safely work around an injury.
Yoga however is more than physical Asana. I use elements of breath practice and meditation to connect body, mind, emotions and spirit to achieve perfect harmony within; to allow us become better at life!

"To meditate with mindful breathing is to bring body and mind back to the present moment so that you do not miss your appointment with life"
