yoga with Leanne Whiting

The lotus flower represents the jewel of the heart. 

It symbolizes the pulsation of opposites in the world which we live; light/dark, male/female, birth/death. 

The lotus flower is a symbolization of our own Divine Nature.  The opening and closing of the petals are an embodiment of  suffering and bliss, from dark to light, to reveal and conceal our brightest light and luminescence.

May we all unfold the petals of our own hearts as we grow to our fullest potential, embodying the form in which our body offers, in health, love, compassion & kindness to live each day through laughter and love.

about grow a lotus

Leanne began practicing yoga while living in Hong Kong and training vigorously for adventure races, open water swims, and outrigger canoeing.  The practice began as a physical journey as an effort to heal and prevent a re-occuring knee injury.  The teachings quickly became her tool to let go, slow down, and unwind from some of the overwhelming stimulants from living in a fast past world.

Leanne is an Experienced Registered Yoga Teacher (E-RYT), and is grateful for the opportunity of living in Asia while training with internationally recognized yoga teachers.  She is dedicated to the practice of Anusara Yoga (www.anusara.com) and Acro Yoga (www.acroyoga.org) and is currently studying with Barrie Risman in Montreal.  Leanne has completed a Yoga Therapeutics training with Sianna Shermann & Kenny Graham, and has attended Anusara workshops with John Friend in Hong Kong & Paris.  Leanne is also devoted to Acro Yoga and is inspired by San Francisco teacher Jeremy Simon, co-founder Jason Nemer of whom Leanne studied with in an AcroYoga Immersion in London.

Leanne is an established Elementary teacher and combines the fundamental inquiry principles of a teacher with the wisdom and therapeutics of yoga, the mentorship qualities of a life coach, and her daily learning experiences to create a model of teaching that leaves students of all ages curious, inspired, and open  to the opportunity to love life to their fullest alignment and potential.
