Watch this video preview from class where Leslie describes the moment that literally took his breath away and helped shift his focus and teaching career for life.

What course members are saying...

I loved every bit of it. I love how Leslie made anatomy so accessible. The explanations were clear and easy to understand. The practices were fun and really brought home the importance of the breath. There were lots of interesting ways to guide students into a pose safely with focus again on the breath.

The homework questions were well thought-out and really made me think hard before hitting send! I so enjoyed being challenged to think for myself rather than being told what to think and feel.

Reading everyone's comment and sharing my own experiences made me feel like I was part of the class, which, of course, I was. Leslie's humour and colourful language made the lessons extra fun too! Leslie's down-to-earth approach to yoga is refreshing. I can't wait for more!"
— Wendy Snongjati, Yoga Teacher, Derbyshire, UK

I think the most important thing that the course has done is that is has opened me up to new possibilities in my yoga journey, as a practitioner and as a teacher. The course has provoked deep questions in me, about why I practice and teach, and I'm excited about where the questions will lead me.

And of course, I learned a LOT about the anatomy of yoga - which is extremely helpful to me personally and professionally. It has changed my body, my practice, and the way I teach - in very positive ways.

I enjoyed the content, the way it was organized, and the way it was taught. I liked the informal and relaxed atmosphere of the classes, and the way the online students were included. I also love the opening chant, it is very inspiring and sets a nice tone. The quality of the content and professionalism, while at the same time giving a feeling of a down-to-earth, open-minded community really resonated with me. I loved how Leslie was always open to learn from his students, to hear another perspective, to listen to others' experiences.

I thought that the online course was very professionally presented, with great technical quality. I think the entire organization was amazing and seamless.
