What I am teaching at Yoga Day - Sydney
Core Yoga
Connection to the core, both physically and energetically, is a key aspect of a yoga practice. Establishing and fostering this connection is essential for our health and wellbeing. In this class, you will be guided through a series of movements and asanas that bring blood and energy to the belly, build core strength, and deepen your awareness of this foundational aspect of your energetic body. As a result, you will leave feeling calmer, grounded and with a deeper appreciation of what it means to ‘sit in one's centre’.
Face Yoga
Would you like to learn a simple and effective way to improve your facial skin tone and musculature?
In this face yoga session, Leah will guide you through a series of face yoga exercises to activate your facial muscles that will leave your face feeling relaxed, toned and tingly.
She will share her face yoga routine that includes exercises for specific parts of the face. You'll be amazed at how easily these exercises can be incorporated in a daily face care practice. Leah has been practising face yoga on an almost daily basis for 7 years. This natural approach to skin care has helped her become more comfortable in her own skin and brought greater joy to her life and she is looking forward to sharing this practice with you.
