PERSONAL WELLBEING
As well as my corporate offering, I work with a number of individuals on a 1-2-1 basis. I'm available to lead personalised sessions with both individuals or small groups (such as friends, family and neighbours) both online, and if based in South West/West/South/Central London, in person

I have several clients who I have worked with consistently for over a year and have established a great rapport with. Below is a testimonial from 'E'
"I've been working with Leanne for a year; My twice weekly sessions have become an integral part of my life and gave me something to look forward to, especially during the pandemic months.
Leanne teaches with clear instruction and positive encouragement; I love her down to earth approach and how she continues to meet me where I'm at to provide a safe and challenging practice. She has helped me develop a greater awareness of my body and my abilities. Oh - and she always has a great playlist for our sessions. Thank you Leanne."
I offer a free consultation session either on the phone or zoom, for people looking to work with me privately - email me now to book yours in

RETREAT 2022
HATHA AND VINYASA
Hatha yoga is a broad umbrella term for a variety of styles of yoga. Expect a hatha yoga class to involve a set of physical postures, combined with breathing techniques and meditation. The practise is typically slower and contains more static postures than Vinyasa.
Vinyasa yoga is a type of Hatha yoga, broadly recognised as a more flowing style where there is an additional emphasis on the transitions between the postures. My vinyasa classes will always involve breathwork and meditation
YIN
Slow paced and mainly floor based, the longer held postures in Yin yoga help to target the deeper layers of connective tissue such as the fascia and joints.
It's a practise that really works with your body's nervous system to give time for the connective tissue to open and strengthen.
It also helps to improve the flow of energy around the body and a you'll finish a yin practise feeling relaxed yet revitalised
PRE AND POST NATAL
Yoga can play an integral part in a pregnant or post natal person's health and wellbeing.
As a qualified pre and post natal yoga teacher I am qualified to help you establish or maintain a yoga and relaxation practice throughout
pregnancy and beyond. Pre natal yoga works to strengthen the body and build resilience in a low impact and nurturing way, paired with breathwork to prepare for labour.
Post natal yoga helps to realign posture and to restore wellbeing. Read all about why you might want to take Pre or Post natal classes with me
MEDITATION AND BREATHWORK
The physical practise of yoga is in itself a moving meditation which incorporates both breathwork (pranayama) and meditation. But these practises can also be worked on in isolation.
As a mindfulness teacher I teach both practises from this perspective as a way of keeping the mind-body in a present and mindful state. Practises within these areas are an amazing way of getting 'out of your head' and back into your body and have empirically proven therapeutic benefits
YOGA4HEALTH
As one of the first teachers trained to deliver the Yoga4Health programme by the Yoga in Healthcare Alliance, I was able to take part in delivering the joint research programme with the University of Westminster and West London CCG - read more about it here
