ABOUT
Lesley began her Yoga journey many moons ago in England and Norway. She has always felt guided toward living Yoga through nature~mind~body and spirit. Especially the grounding connection of asana and pranayama cultivating strength and discipline.
Self work and a deep self love that can nourish, is what she is so passionate about nurturing and creating.
Lesley moved to Dana Point, California from Oslo, Norway in 2002, where she married her best friend. They have five boys, oldest 16 and the youngest 4. Raising her boys has been the biggest blessing she could have dreamt for. Teaching yoga for the Moms club, in parks and at the library in Dana Point. She loves cooking, playing and creating memories of smiles. Through her family commitment, what she has learned has taught her so much about stability, letting go, grounding and daily rhythms that are sustainable and so necessary.
Now Lesley is continuing the path she started as a yoga teacher. Her intention now as a Prana Vinyasa teacher is “Peace inside~Peace outside” and cultivating an intelligent, loving, compassionate heart.
She is so excited to be teaching and sharing Prana Vinyasa, helping to find that divine light and love in the hearts of friends and students.
Lesley and her family love to be outside in nature, gardening, hiking, biking, camping and enjoying all the ocean has to offer.
OFFERING
