Introduction: I believe my work stands out from others who do what I do because of my decades of experience. I started young with yoga (18 years old), and I never looked back. I've been in all ends of the "business"...teaching, owning and operating a yoga studio, developing yoga training materials for myself and other companies, presenting to hundreds of people at conferences and workshops, taking people from America to Europe for yoga vacations, designing studio business models for new yoga studio owners, creating scheduling and programming for yoga offered in community centers, yoga studios, wellness centers, and gyms. When it comes to the business of yoga, I've been privileged to have spent time in all aspects of it. As a result, it's afforded me a great deal of time to hone my skills. I'm grateful!

As a result of many years as an athlete—and frequent laptop computer user—I suffer from knee, upper & lower back, wrist, and shoulder pain. I enlisted Leeann (LC) for help after having known her for quite some time, outside of the therapeutic/professional arena. I found her to be a kind and genuine person. LC, presented me with poses and stretches that I could complete on my own—with or without props. Leeann is the most loving, gentle, and compassionate teacher I have ever known. She has the innate ability to sense where one requires assistance—physically and mentally—while acknowledging that "you are perfect the way you are." Rather than forcing a person to adjust, she guides you to help yourself, after all, she is not always going to be there. She presented the regimen in a concise and straightforward manner. Physical therapy can be daunting, however, LC's approach makes it very approachable, for even the most inflexible of middle-aged men. Personally, I would have preferred the session to last all day. With her loving hands and heart, I trust LC wholeheartedly and recommend her services to anyone—of any age or degree of health.

Leeann Carey was my first Hatha Yoga teacher almost fifteen years ago. After a beginner yoga workshop, I was hooked and haven't stopped practicing since. Leeann gave great instructions, helping me to develop my body awareness in each pose. My strength, flexibility, and fitness improved tremendously. And while the physical elements were important to her, she always emphasized listening to our own bodies to avoid injuries. Pose modifications and adjustments, with or without props, were always offered to any of us needing help. This was especially helpful when I was pregnant but still wanted to take classes. Beyond her knowledge and understanding of the physical aspects of yoga, Leeann's intuitive approach to the whole practice of yoga...the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual...is profound. She is willing to meet each student where s/he is, with support and compassion. I just wish I could take classes with her again. Unfortunately, I no longer live in the same city...

I have studied and practiced yoga with Leeann since 1993 in her studio, workshops and teacher training programs. Her dedication, wisdom and insight are inspirational. These qualities are matched by a tireless compassion and innate ability to "meet people where they are." I have witnessed first hand the results her teaching has manifested in my life and those of countless others.

Leeann has developed a way to teach yoga that is active,supportive and restoritive in every pose so that through continued practice you achieve an understanding of what yoga can do for your body and benefit from this knowing.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I was always interested in a healthy lifestyle, which includes not only taking care of my body, but also my mind and spirit. This interest led me to a discovering yoga as a practice that balanced my body/mind/spirit. I learned how to teach yoga and several years later, opened up a full-service yoga studio in Hermosa Beach, CA, called Planet Yoga. I owned and operated the studio for 16 years. I sold it five years ago to dedicate my time specifically to teaching teachers and developing programming for other yoga companies and yoga instructors who wanted to run yoga studio businesses.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Yoga lessons for those injured, chronic pain management, and lead yoga teacher trainings. I develop personal yoga "recipes" to heal and manage pain. I also teach other yoga instructors how to do the same. I teach small group classes, too. I consult yoga studio owners on how to set up their yoga front desk services and scheduling needs. I also present at yoga and fitness conferences around the United States and Canada.

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Ask them about their training and length of experience.
