Leslie Hunter CYI 500
Leslie Hunter is a dedicated teacher and student who leads yoga and mediation classes for adults and children in the Vinyasa tradition. Her teaching is rooted in her experience of yoga on-and-off the mat as well as her commitment to sharing the discipline of practice and yoga's 8-limb path with her students.
For the last six years, Leslie has been teaching at Therapeutic Approach Yoga Studio in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She received her 500 hour certification through TAYS and is currently co-director of the TAYS 200 hour teacher training program. Leslie's classes help to stimulate curiosity and encourage new perspectives as each student finds inspiration through their own intention.
Leslie began doing yoga after the birth of her first child to help work with postpartum depression. While conventional Western advice was offered, Leslie continued a weekly yoga practice that began a powerful and healing transformation. The heat and discipline of her Vinyasa practice combined with mediation instruction is the inspiration behind every class.
Leslie teaches workshops and intensives throughout the Atlantic Provinces, and is a guest instructor at InnerSun Yoga Center in Wolfville, Nova Scotia. Leslie offers partner-yoga instruction and is a performer of Partner Yoga Dance. As an active member of the Yoga Atlantic Association, she co-directs the regions' Yoga Atlantic Conference.
In addition, she holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Saint Mary's University and Public Relations Certification from Ryerson University. Leslie also attended the Randolph Academy for the performing Arts, a triple-threat performance school and is a spokesperson and advocate for the accessibility and life changing benefits a yoga practice offers. |
