This trip was absolutely life changing and spectacular. I have learned SO much - I went from being too scared to lead a five minute meditation to teaching sixty minute vinyasa classes with ease. Leah has this amazing way of making everyone feel so comfortable and confident in themselves no matter where they’re at. She is a very empowering and intelligent teacher, and clearly loves her job...Overall this was an experience I will never forget.

Leah is the most inspiring teacher I’ve ever met. I am really so grateful that I met such an amazing person and that such a beautiful soul exists in this world. I had the honor to take Leah’s 200hr online yoga teacher training and it was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve ever had. Leah has created a dynamic space of safety, community, trust and love and every part of this training was wholeheartedly vibrant in its interactivity. She was always so eager to help and guide me through the process of this life changing experience. She speaks from her heart to every student and makes everyone feel so truly unique and special. I hope that every person that wants to take a yoga teacher training chooses Leah’s training that, in my honest opinion, has everything that a new yoga teacher must know when starting its long journey as a teacher. This training is truly a journey of self growth and transformation.

The trip was amazing. It was very challenging, which I anticipated and had hoped for. I walked away feeling confident and like I got more than I paid for. Leah is a true professional in the yoga industry. The world of yoga is lucky to have someone so passionate and intelligent to be able take what she knows and teach others. My expectations were surpassed and I can’t imagine there is anyone who could give you more.
