Leslie Simionescu | Yoga | Leadership Team

Leslie has been practicing Yoga since her teens. She first came to Yen Yoga as a student in October 2011 and immediately felt at home. Leslie became a 200 hour Yoga Teacher through Yen Yoga and Fitness with Jennifer Lintvedt in Traverse City Michigan. Leslie is now a 500 hour advanced teacher through Janet Stone Yoga at Esalen Institute in Big Sur California. Leslie is trained in Bhakti yoga which is the yoga of devotion, mantra, chanting and sound. Leslie brings meditation through crystal bowls and vibration.

Leslie has taught more than 3,000 classes at Yen Yoga and met approximately 41,000 students since she started teaching in 2012. She teaches to connect and inspire others to have self acceptance, moving through their bodies feeling every emotion energetically, spiritually, and mentally. Leslie believes Yoga is much more than the Asana, it is a way to live a life full of the ingredients we need to be present in our lives and serve others. Leslie also leads workshops teaching the Eight Limb Path of Yoga and the Hot 26 Asana Yoga Series.

Leslie has a passion for connecting to the healing benefits of nature and has lead SUP Yoga Teacher Training on the beautiful waters of Northern Michigan for the last 7 years.
