Leah Carnahan has enjoyed yoga for over 30 years. She lived and breathed yoga in the Indian Himalayas studying at the International Meditation Institute. Here she was formally trained in Hatha, Iyengar, Somatics, Alexandra Technique and the McKenzie Method. She received her certification in Somayoga and began to teach at IMI. Since that time she has moved to the Kootenay-Boundary where she has facilitated classes and workshop for the last 24 years.
Her heartfelt classes are best described as welcoming, inspiring, safe, playful, grounding and peaceful. Leah feels that a balance of movement and stillness together bring a natural inspiration to every moment. While she facilitates gentle movement, she encourages those around her to listen to their inmost voice and make the postures their own. She feels that loving acceptance the moment as it is and of yourself as you are, allows for the most rewarding practice. Read more about her style on the Workshop page.

Leah also enjoys traveling and has taught at many yoga studios and festivals around the world.
