Yoga is a way of establishing a relationship with yourself - to see who you are, what you are mad of, how you react, behave, think, feel, move and breathe - all to be able to access calm and compassionate control of the mind and body. This is a gift that I feel fortunate enough to give to myself every chance I get and what fuels my desire to want to give Yoga to others, as a teacher. Leonora teaches at Barefoot Movement in downtown Oakland.
