She has been teaching classes since the beginning of 2015 both privately and in group settings to adults, pre-school, primary and secondary children. All abilities are catered for by Lea, with chair yoga now being offered (for those not able to manage on the floor).
​
Hosting relaxing weekend yoga retreats at various locations is also a passion of Lea's. Sole yogis, couples, groups of friends are all welcome - feel free to get in touch if this is something you may be interested in.
