August Yogi of the Month (Hanover)

Meet Leonee!

What's your favorite yoga pose?

Camatkarasana - wild thing or rock star (I also love a vasisthasana side plank!)

How do you recharge?

Being with my own energy in my own space. I love being with people, swapping stories and generally having an awe-inspiring raucous time. However, to be able to do that on the regular, I need to reset and recharge in my own energy. Being an old-school flânuer helps! I love walking the Rail Trail with no phone and taking walk lunch breaks at work. Even showing up to Mighty Yoga way too early so I can put my legs up the wall with no or very few other people around does the trick, too.

What is something about you that your Mighty community may not know about you?

I "adulted" and lived in Australia for 19 years, so I have a penchant for using lots of swear words instead of more eloquent adjectives.

What makes you Mighty?

I have a vivid imagination and internal world, so I'm always asking myself and wondering, how am I moving through this life, this world and is it a reflection of who I want to be on this spinning cosmic dust ball called earth? These regular reflections and awareness - along with gratitude and a general belief that the universe has my back - helps me be Mighty. Also, regular yoga practice, for real! Movement is medicine and joining at least three classes a week at Mighty keeps me grounded, connected, and feeling held. It's brilliant! Thanks, Mighty!
