Bio

Leslie Landry has over 15 years experience in Yoga and has been teaching since 1997. Yoga offered Leslie such a tremendous personal healing vehicle, physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually; that she wanted to share this with others. Leslie is a certified Hatha Yoga instructor and has developed her own style incorporating yoga flows. Yoga flows are postures linked together then repeated in a cycle. Creating a way to go deeper into the body with each successive movement helps the body slowly open. It has been Leslie's experience with her own body and fibromyalgia; as well as witnessing her students bodies over 12 years of teaching that this style was born. Leslie studied anatomy of movement for two years and applies that knowledge to her classes. Her sense of humour, light heartedness and generous use of personal stories allow her students hearts to open and grow. Leslie also teaches yogic philosophy and spirituality in a very down to earth way that her students can easily adapt to their own life. She is committed to teaching in a light-hearted and nurturing way. Leslie is also certified in the Lotus Palm tradition of Thai Yoga Massage. The spirit of Metta (loving, kindness and compassion) lies at the heart of this approach.

The mind, body, spirit yoga experience that Leslie has brought to me in the last eleven years has enriched my life immensely.

- Kathleen O'Connor

I've taken yoga classes with Leslie for eleven years, and I truly feel that her classes are inspirational. Although I officially attained "senior" status this year, I feel my body has the strength and flexibility of a much younger woman. I really enjoy the yoga philosophy Leslie imparts in each class. I've been recommending her classes to all my friends for years.

- Terry

I've been attending Leslie's classes for five years now. She brings such a down to earth focus and ease to yoga which I absolutely connect with; and it's obvious that other people do too! Leslie shares her "real life" experiences in class which instantly resonates into my daily life. She is a truly "authentic" yoga teacher, and she teaches from the heart. Leslie's classes are fresh, and they provide great inspiration to me and my yoga practice. So much so, that it encouraged me to complete my own yoga teacher training certification. Leslie is a superb teacher with a great sense of humour, compassion, and generosity. I'll always be grateful for our connection and friendship.

Leslie always incorporates themes into her classes that help integrate the spiritual and physical attributes of yoga that aren't always part of todays yoga classes.

I've been taking yoga classes for a year with Leslie and have enjoyed each class thoroughly, both mentally and physically. I feel so much stronger in mind and body and look forward to attending as long as I can. I will be 80 years old this winter, but I really do not feel my age.
