deep respect & awe for the invitation & conversation of yoga as well as the immense
empowerment & freedom a devoted practice can offer. She believes in the purifying,
transforming & liberating aspects of devotion & encourages her students to align
with their own truth & desire. Since moving to Santa Barbara, Leigh completed the

For Leigh, exquisite alignment woven together with Tantric philosophy offers an
endless expansion of self discovery, challenge, growth, affirmation, fun & creativity.
The affirmative qualities of Tantric philosophy connect to her joy, her elegance & her
desire which offer endless radical transformation to her embodiment & experience.
She believes in living authentically from the inside out and offers the teachings with
a soft heart & an astute awareness of biomechanics. Leigh loves mountains. She also
loves self empowerment through biological & philosophical self-awareness. Leigh
offers deep gratitude & respect to all her teachers & compeers.
