Create a Beautiful Strong Heart • Peaceful Mind • Sound Body
Yoga is the practice of the art of being yourself. All the practice asks of you is participation, when you most need it and especially when you don't want it. Yoga offers all of us the opportunity to feel better from the inside out, to come together in community, to celebrate our spirit and the power of Grace!

"Know that Grace has the power to transform everything you aspire to.
So aspire to the highest, and offer yourself to that Grace.
Grace will hold you every step of the way.
Anusara is a path of Grace." - John Friend, Anusara Yoga Founder

Anusara Yoga
Anusara Yoga® is a heart oriented, uplifting yoga system grounded in Universal Principles of Alignment. It is a unique, therapeutic style of Hatha Yoga in which the divine artistic expression of the heart blends magically with the scientific principles of biomechanics.

Anusara Yoga takes the premise that life is “Sri” – auspicious, abundant and inherently good. Blending this philosophy with the Universal Principles of Alignment creates a joyous practice of healing, empowerment and transformation.

Anusara Yoga was developed by John Friend. The highest intention of practicing Anusara Yoga is to align with the Divine, to flow with Grace in recognition of the entire magical spectrum of life.
And it is fun!

My Classes
I strive to make yoga accessible and inspirational for anyone who is willing to step onto the mat and to align with their most Divine self.
I make every effort to meet you where you are in your practice and to guide you towards inspiring yourself both on and off the mat. My classes are infused with the principles of Anusara Yoga, Tantric philosophy of intrinsic goodness, a sweet celebration of the heart, and a little bit of silliness.

How to Begin a Yoga Practice Private Lessons • Public Class

Beginner's Private Yoga lessons can be a less intimidating way to step onto a yoga mat. I will work one on one with you (or if you prefer a small group of your friends) to give you a sense of what will happen in a public class. We will explore basic postures and sequencing, the lingo and answer any questions you might have.

For experienced yogis a Private Lesson can offer the opportunity to learn the specifics about alignment in YOUR body, to address therapeutic needs to help the body heal and to explore YOUR specific questions.

Public Yoga Classes Join me for a class at Laconia Athletic and Swim CLub in down town Laconia in the Lakes Region, commit to giving it a try and then enjoy the ride. For some, yoga isn't a love at first sight situation. I encourage you to give it at least 3 classes -then decide if it is for you.

 

My Yoga Experience
When I went to my first yoga class in 1997, I had no idea what I was about to receive. From that very first moment, I was enchanted by the power of this practice! Yoga has taught me how to live fully in the most Graceful of ways. I am delighted to share this practice with you!

I have been teaching yoga for 9 years and I have over 1000 hours of Yoga Teacher Training. But most importantly I LOVE it! I love sharing the experience and process of yoga and all that it has to offer my students.

I am in the current of Grace moving from Boulder to Laconia, New Hampshire. Please check for my new class schedule in Laconia! Contact me here with questions!

Gratitude
My heart oozes with tremendous amounts of gratitude for all of the students that have graced me with their presence in Boulder Colorado over the last 4 years. Thank you for showing up, for radiating your intelligence, sharing your hopes and dreams, for trying, for teaching me and for inspiring me to become a better teacher, for being so wonderfully yourselves. Please do stay in touch with me, please do keep practicing, please do dare to shine as brilliantly as your heart will allow! I am humbled by your acheivements and honored to have practiced with you.

I will forever be grateful to the container that is öm time. Within those walls, I have grown as a student, as a teacher and as a human being. I have been welcomed and loved beyond my wildest expectations. I have become more fully myself due to the beautiful reflection that the community of öm time has provided, open arms and open hearts. Because of öm time, I have met my soul mates, my best friends, my teachers and allies. I now know and trust that wherever I may go in the world, that the kula-the community of the heart- is always with me, there is no doubting, there is no worrying, there is no fear. A tremendous amount of gratitude is offered to Shannon & Joe, for believing in me and trusting me and for creating the container; to Amber for all of her dedication, encouragement and support; to all of my teachers there, specifically Amy Ippoliti and Cindy Lusk (as well as all the others that supported my practice with staunch encouragement Ellin Todd, Chris Muchow and Julieta Claire); and to the entire öm time support staff, all of the shining hearts and smiling faces that so graciously welcome us all into the vessel and keep öm time thriving and surviving. I feel fortunate to have had the sheer pleasure of being a part of such a conscious team and Grace-filled community. Because of you all, my heart is full.

See you on the path!

much love and many blessings~
Leslie :)
