"Leena's enthusiasm and inclusive approach are very uplifting.   A fast thinker with great ideas, she has a good sense of focus and commitment. She’s articulate, a dynamic leader and a great communicator with a wide variety of audiences and beliefs. The messages she shares are honest and delivered with integrity and, when appropriate, a warm sense of humor!"

"Leena has a unique flow to her practice. She sets the tone with her beautiful voice, guiding us into pranayam & the four cleansing breaths. We connect with breath and all the openness that has taken place for a short while & go right into asana practice. I have found the cleansing practice creates the openess for focus & more clarity in our asana practice and allows the flow to be much more expansive, taking us right where we need to be much faster. Thank you Leena for opening the flow to healing!"

You are gentle and compassionate. Your class offers something very different by providing a background of the essential teachings that are so often overlooked in yoga classes. Your love for what you are doing shows with every class. It is very clear that you are an inspired learner in addition to being knowledgeable teacher.

I love that you teach the art of pranayama and meditation in addition to asanas. Because you combine all of these practices into one class we are able to go much deeper than we can with just an asana practice. You consistently guide us to a space where the mind is quiet, where stillness and meditation arise as a natural state of being. I always leave feeling more grounded than when I came in.
