Weekly Classes

I offer weekly in-person & online classes in yoga-āsana & dance.

Folks have called me ‘a truly excellent yoga teacher’, and ‘one of London’s best teachers’ - no kidding. Both to my face, and behind my back (it got back to me!).

That is high praise indeed. 

I definitely bring my whole heart to every single class to live up to it. 

What’s special about my classes? In a word - energy.

Come and see how it feels to be held in the (deeply loving, healing) energy field I create for you to move in….

Lineage & Accountability

I bow to the lineage holders of the South Asian traditions who have gifted me with these practices. These lineage bearers have carried these practices on their backs, often at great personal expense and under the duress of colonialist extraction at every level of their society.

In light of this, I pay a percentage of my yoga teaching income as personal reparations.

Yolande:

Once you meet Leila, you realise there's a difference between a yoga instructor, and a yoga teacher.  Leila teaches. Her classes are incredible, safe spaces where she supports you physically, enriches you psychologically, and touches you spiritually. She leaves a lasting impression on your body, mind, and heart.

Siân:

Big huge hearted thanks and love for the practice this morning! You are so wonderful. I cried while I danced! It felt so good to move with freedom. Thanks for holding the space in such a nourishing way

Stay with the music!
