breathe - move - improve
Hi, my name is Lesley and I'm a certified yoga instructor in Waterloo,
Ontario.  Welcome to my website.  In the past few years, I discovered the
secrets to looking good, feeling great, losing weight, dealing with stress and
improving overall health.

Most people I know long for energy and vitality, a fit and healthy body, a way
to let go of the stress of the day and handle the daily pressure of work and
life.

I have dedicated myself to helping you and others just like you feel better.  
Whether you are in pain and hurting or your body is just starting to show the
effects of years of sitting behind a desk, using a computer, or standing on
your feet for eight hours a day.  

Maybe you have tried traditional approaches, perhaps you have been for
massage therapy, physical therapy  or maybe your doctor has  even
recommended surgery or other drastic measures.

This may be the first time you recognize that you are aging and your muscles
are becoming much tighter than when you were young.  You may have little
or no body awareness outside of the pain and discomfort you are currently
are experiencing.

Perhaps you are just now paying the price for decades of ignoring your body.  
 Something inside of you (or perhaps a friend, doctor or therapist) has
suggested you try yoga as an alternative.

If you are curious, and would like to know more, continue reading or call me -
what have you got to lose?

Call me at 519-888-9625 if you are ready to take the first step towards
feeling good.
Yoga with Lesley

You can use yoga to help:

Lose weight.  The best approach is to lose weight gradually and for good. Yoga offers a good solution to this problem.
Yoga tones the body in a uniformed manner, unlike any " weight loss program" which claims to decrease specific areas or
lose weight quickly leading to side effects. Yoga can be practiced at any age to keep the body supple.  For more
information on how yoga can help you lose weight click here.

Release stress. Stress is everywhere in our lives. No-one teaches us what to do about it or how to deal with it. We store
stress in our bodies, muscles and tissues. Stress disrupts our enjoyment of life and keeps us from living fully. By working
with me you can begin to release muscle tension, reduce your stress levels, and feel like a new person.

Increase flexibility. As we age, we tend to lose flexibility and range of motion in our joints. You may have already started
to notice this. The great thing is that you can work with me and begin to gain it back.  I show you how to move all your
joints through their full range of motion, increasing your mobility over time. You’ll be amazed at how much easier everyday
activities are when you begin to increase the range of motion in your joints.

Gain Energy. So many things in life use up our energy. Yoga practice doesn't deplete your body of energy. Instead, it
actually provides a source of energy and increases your vitality and vigour, making you feel more energetic and younger. I
can show you simple ways to increase your energy levels almost immediately. These exercises and techniques have been
used for thousands of years and the result will leave you feeling energized, refreshed and ready to take on anything.

Build Strength. I will show you how to build strength using the best weights in the world - your own body
weight. You can increase strength, get lean and toned - without adding bulk. Doing these exercises will help you become
lean, fit , improve muscle tone and feel stronger. The muscles you develop with yoga are elongated; as you strengthen you
are simultaneously lengthening them. Above all, yoga helps realign the muscles so that they are better balanced. You will
work your whole body and you are less likely to get injured because you are not overworking any specific muscle group.
