Leila Braithwaite

French born I and was first introduced to yoga when I moved to London about 20 years ago. Living in London was a very stressful time with a lot of pressure "living the rat race" -Practicing yoga in London gave me peace and helped me to improve my flexibility, the quality of my sleep and much more.This was the beginning of a life changing journey.

Since London, I have continued my yoga practice over the years and yoga has helped me juggling demanding jobs, family life, and other difficult times I went through. Yoga continues to give me strength, balance and focus.

I wanted to share the practice of yoga with other and decided to take the yoga teacher training in 2013 with Steve Avian at Shamayoga School. Since then I have been teaching in Louise's wonderful studio "Power of Yoga" where Louise has created this beautiful space that captures the essence of yoga. It is a wonderful feeling to share my passion for yoga with others and help others to relax, improve their flexibility and learn breathing techniques.

I continue my learning journey, I have been to various yoga retreats in France, and learnt other styles of yoga through different yoga practitioners. Yoga continues to help me in my everyday life, balancing work, being a mum and maintaining strong relationships with my loved ones.
