Holistic Health Healing & Fitness with Leslie Porter

I am stronger and healthier than I have ever been and in no small part do I have Leslie to thank for my lifestyle change!
I’m man with a need for a serious «work-​out». I sometimes have a hectic lifestyle that requires some time to disconnect and de-​stress. For years friends recommended I try yoga and I have tried a coule times a year for the last several years but it just wasn’t a satisfying experience. .. . UNTIL I started classes with Leslie.
Her positive intention and serious yet caring instruction have changed the way I see the yoga world and I am now a yoga addict!
She deals with each student differently and really takes time to get to know what you are looking to get from your fitness experience.

Amazing Yoga teacher!
I’m taking a beginning class, and her instruction is so clear, easy-​to-​follow, thoughtful and perfectly challenging that I feel like I’m working hard but staying energized and inspired. Other teachers sometimes move too quickly or create transitions between poses that are too hard or complicated. I feel like Leslie strikes a perfect balance.
She’s super-​patient and gentle with beginners, cheerfully fixing poses and cracking wry jokes that keeps the tone just right, but she keeps the class flowing and the more experienced students seem to stay totally engaged too.
Her sequence of poses is different every time and seems to always be in tune with the energy in the room; sometimes more meditative and restful and sometimes more challenging and strenuous… it always flows and the time goes by incredibly fast. (Good music too!)
I don’t want to sound too ga ga, but her class is honestly something very special that I look forward to all week. Even when I have to drag myself to go, I always leave feeling so much better than I came in. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Oh, and I love her newsletter too (Once a month is not enough!) It’s is always full of just the right mix of yogi spiritualism (wisdom, inspiration, good practical tips and ideas, etc.) and down-​to-​earth humor, smarts, and grace. Much like her own presence in the studio. Definitely worthwhile even if you’re not taking her classes.
Thanks Leslie! You rock! I can’t wait to try your day-​long retreat next month!
