Group Leaders
leslie willard
Leslie started practicing yoga in 2009. With an athletic background in running, surfing, gymnastics, cheerleading and breakdancing, her yoga practice was quick to grow and develop as her next athletic endeavor. It wasn't until she completed Power Yoga Teacher Training in 2015, that she realized she wanted to make teaching yoga a huge part of her life. Forever inspired by her teachers and supportive community, Leslie cannot be more thrilled to share the gift of yoga with others. What started out as a way to burn calories, has now become a regular practice, and a spiritual lifestyle. "Yoga is my pillar of strength, and my mat is always there to support me through any obstacle in life."
