WHAT GRADUATES ARE SAYING
“I struggle to find the words to convey the impact your teaching has had on me…Really great teachers and coaches know how to bring out the best in their students. You’ve definitely done that. I look forward to continuing to learn from you and applying these tools to my working with athletes.”
“Today was eye-opening to realize that athletes can benefit from the correct learning of basic poses and putting those poses into a fun flow for them. The details and specificity of cue language was also helpful. And, the great sequencing pointers for athletes - yoga body plus athlete body needs a different approach!”
“What stood out to me the most was how much this training expanded my understanding of the human body and sports training. Leslee’s sports background and yoga training highlighted how yoga can be applied not just in the studio but in a wide range of athletic contexts. I now have the tools and confidence to work with athletes of all levels, from weekend warriors to professionals, and to incorporate yoga into their training programs in meaningful ways.”
“Attending the Yoga 4 Athletes training with Leslee was an incredible experience that exceeded all of my expectations. Leslee is down-to-earth, approachable, and has a fantastic sense of humor, making the learning process enjoyable and highly engaging. Her deep knowledge of yoga, experiential anatomy, and yoga for athletes was evident in every session, and I walked away feeling truly empowered and ready to work with athletes.”
”This course has been a game-changer for my yoga business. I’ve been able to expand into new communities and offer services that cater specifically to athletes, something I wasn’t able to do before this training. Whether you're looking to deepen your knowledge of yoga or learn how to better support athletes, I highly recommend this training to anyone looking to grow as a yoga teacher and professional. I look forward to her next offering.”(see additional testimonials below)

“This training was incredible. As per the testimonials from attendees, they seemed to learn, or maybe retain, more information from this weekend than they have in their 200/300hr sessions done with various teachers.
“This Y4Athletes Training blew me away - the in-depth knowledge of the human body in the anatomy and all the into presented by the faculty! The faculty knowledge and connection to sport, through experience, their desire to teach the most up to date research, and a unique way of creating an atmosphere where you literally turn into a sponge because you don’t want to miss a thing! I’m a student for life!”
“I can’t wait to do more with you badasses.”
