Leila’s own practice began with something as simple as a new year’s commitment to just try something new – the same kind of quiet inspiration that provokes change in all of us. The driving forces behind Leila’s teaching are simple: to cultivate mindfulness, discipline and a light heart. She has an affinity for working with beginners and those managing illness or injury. Her teaching is also informed by her studies of the philosophy, literature and history of yoga and other Eastern traditions.
