Leslie Hadley, RYT, Reiki Master

Leslie discovered the gift of yoga when she began a meditation and yoga practice in 1995 to relieve stress and physical numbness in her legs. The reduction of stress and relief in her legs impressed her. After three years of practice she was convinced that yoga was her new way of life. Her passion grew into the joy of teaching when she completed a Hatha Yoga certification program in West Chester, NY in 1999. Leslie has completed an additional 350 hour training and is registered with the Yoga Alliance.

Most recently, she completed a training for infants, tots, and their parents called Itsy Bitsy Yoga and at this time is the only trained facilitator in New Jersey. Leslie has worked in the corporate environment for many years and has recently embarked on a new career path of Yoga, Reiki, and Thai Yoga Bodywork while studying Natural Health. She enjoys teaching various levels of Hatha Yoga and her personal teaching style focuses on a flow of poses while integrating alignment. Leslie also teaches Yoga to children from infants to teens, seniors, pre-natal yoga and restorative yoga classes. Leslie is a Reiki Master and teaches others to perform Reiki Healing through touch and/or long distance. She has studied Thai Bodywork to enhance her teaching skills but thoroughly enjoys giving Thai massage and noticing the benefits of the massage.
