Lesley attended her first yoga class in Edinburgh Scotland in 1983 since then she has practiced in various studios, church basements and bedrooms along the way. She completed her 200 hour YTT in 2016 at Journey of Yoga and has been teaching since then. She continues to study yoga, attending classes, workshops and teachings, including teachings on “Trauma Informed Yoga”, “Yin Yoga” and “Yoga Nidra”.
Lesley strives to create yoga classes that are safe, informative and fun. She incorporates anatomy, Yoga philosophy, Ayurveda and yogic wisdom as well as meditation and poetry. She infuses lightness into her classes and hopes to make yoga more accessible to those who need it most. Lesley feels privileged to be able to teach and is eternally grateful to all her teachers as she continues on her yoga journey. As a registered nurse working full-time in an intense field of nursing, she uses yoga to bring balance, calm and joy into her life and the lives of others.
