LEANNE ANTONIA WELLBEING

I am a yoga, meditation and breathwork teacher based in South West London who specialises in delivering wellbeing sessions for companies, individuals seeking 121 yoga and yoga in healthcare and community settings

​

Before I became a yoga and meditation teacher I graduated in 2011 with a BA in Economics and Politics from School of Oriental and African Studies and spent the following years working my way through London's events and hospitality industries. I came to the realisation that my previous work-life balance was unsustainable for myself, and so moved to full time teaching in 2018. I focused on the techniques that had already been supporting me in my practice for many years

Becoming a yoga teacher has allowed me to build myself a life in greater alignment with my values, share the practises that had helped me find my inner balance, and build my resilience to the ups and downs of life.

In 2021 I started my 2 year, 580 hour Yoga Therapy training with The Minded Institute and look to bring Yoga Therapy and it's practises to a wider community when I qualify in 2023. I draw on inspiration from my blend of trainings into all of my classes

WHAT I OFFER
 

As a yoga teacher I currently teach a mix of weekly/bi weekly 121 yoga classes, both online and in person, weekly yoga classes to businesses online alongside my community NHS classes. I teach a weekly Yin Yoga class at Ikshana Wellbeing in Clapham on Wednesdays

 

As a meditation teacher I provide workshops and weekly classes on mindfulness and other guided meditations with a secular and therapeutic focus. I also offer guided relaxations for those businesses who recognise the importance of offering colleagues rest

 

As a wellbeing speaker I deliver various talks and workshops and staff wellbeing sessions to businesses, schools and healthcare settings. I believe that knowledge is powerful, and I aim to simplify and educate people around accessible techniques to improve their wellbeing so that they can be an active participant in a healthy life. I am particularly keen to partner with more settings that are already providing support for others

Whatever mind-body practise you undertake with me it will be infused with mindful awareness of the present moment, with an aim of bringing the nervous system into balance and bringing awareness to the innate connection between mind and body within the self. Whilst I find many area of yoga unboundedly fascinating, I have a particular interest in the influence of breath in our overall wellbeing and in developing skills to self regulate our nervous systems
