Leanne Widen
Leanne began her yoga journey at the age of 50, 7years after overcoming breast cancer. Through the practice of yoga, she was able to reconnect to the same body that had betrayed her. Using breath and movement, she found a dramatic impact in nurturing her body, mind and soul. She studied yoga and attended workshops in the Sacred Valley of Peru and Tulum, Mexico with Tara Nolan, of T Nolan Yoga. She received her 200 Hr RYT, through 21st Century Yoga on the Mat with Alex Pfeiffer at The Studio in Madison, WI. Leanne additionally received advanced certification through Yoga for Breast Cancer & Beyond with Camille Kittrell, founder of exclusiveYoga, in Waltham, MA. Leanne will guide you to explore breath and movement in a way that can help any body thrive. Leanne teaches with an upbeat, patient manner that anyone can follow. She challenges her students to embrace life both on and off the mat.
I recently attended an outdoor fireside yoga class lead by Leanne. She checked in with the group to see if anyone had special requests for the flow. The setting out at Lussier Heritage center provided a beautiful view, and she made the class very enjoyable with some unique moves which had everyone laughing. Highly recommended!
