This program goes well beyond yoga and provides the understanding, practice, and support for you to become your own personal trainer and life coach.
This course includes a generous amount of information, skills, and exercises masterfully taught to be easily accessible and to provide lasting integration. The benefits of this training continue to develop over time and will be an asset to you, your family, and your community.
In addition to learning poses and sequencing you'll learn how and why to move in each position so that you can adapt the practice to meet your needs.
In this course, we delve into and refine our yoga practice, learn about our anatomy and physiology, and study yogic philosophy in this opportunity for self-study and growth.
This intensive is about becoming your own teacher and learning how to tap into your own yoga practice, anatomy, and inner resources to feel and develop your strength and fluidity, see and express your innate wisdom, and be able to more fully frolic in the joys of life.
It is from our own experience that we truly learn and have the most to give.

Since practicing with Leigh my yoga practice has taken a transformative shift in movement and alignment. She is a wonderful, thoughtful, engaged and observant teacher. Leigh teaches with passion and possesses a vast knowledge of anatomy, physiology, philosophy, yoga history, and ethics.
Leigh has a graceful way of listening and explaining so that everyone participating feels that they get the best of all the information she has to share. The laughter and fun make her classes so great to be a part of. She is an exceptional teacher.
One of the beautiful ways Leigh teaches yoga is she is really guiding you how to care for yourself. She wants you to be independent and encourages you to practice on your own, but is always right there to help with any questions, adjustments and recommendations.
Yoga Currents YTT was an amazing life changing experience. I came out of the program with so much knowledge and a craving for more. It was the perfect balance of practice, philosophy, anatomy and personal growth/self-reflection. It’s a wonderful program whether you want to explore and expand your own Yoga practice or whether you have an intention to teach and share Yoga with the world.
It amazes me how she can cue (down to the toes) and improve the energy, grounding and alignment in my practice. Leigh not only knows the asana, but knows how to apply anatomy, alignment, energetics, muscle contractions and mindfulness into the pose. Her classes have a "wholeness" feel, where she intertwines the eight limbs of yoga.
Leigh teaches with a straightforward knowledgeable grace. Her presence and ability to explain each pose, offering visual adjustments as well as physical, really helped me bring my practice into a very connected and internal space. I felt empowered and exhausted after our wonderful yoga weekend.
My experience with YogaCurrents teacher training program has been life-changing. Leigh is an exceptional teacher/mentor who is extremely knowledgeable (and super awesome). The YogaCurrents YTT course is perfectly organized to allow students to learn and absorb the material, while also allowing each student to have time for personal development.
It is clear Leigh has a passion and deep love for learning about keeping the body healthy and thriving for the whole life span, and sharing her knowledge in a relatable way. Something that stood out to me was how humble she was while sharing this life changing way of moving. It was so powerful and present in my body.
Yoga has renewed my love for my body. I have taken several of Leigh's classes, and at the end of every session I feel stronger and more confident. I am amazed at what my body can do, and Leigh gently encourages us to believe in our own strength. I look forward to my yoga class all week.
We are so fortunate to have a yoga instructor of Leigh's caliber in a town as small as Valdez. I really appreciate her attention to form during class, making sure that the poses do not lead to injury, while still offering opportunities for further challenge and focus. My practice has improved tremendously with her help!
This is a life changing program.
With the knowledgeable guidance of Leigh, I was able to succeed in this class and learn so much about my body and gain the confidence to share what I've learned. If you have the opportunity to take this class, just go for it. It was amazing.
