Leela started as a personal trainer in 2003, in the fitness industry. As a certified brain based personal trainer through Z-Health, Leela teaches her clients how to harness the power of functional applied neurology to meet their fitness goals. As she often says, “It turns out the brain controls a few things…” As a life long learner, Leela keeps up with the latest science and research in the continuously evolving fitness world and helps her clients achieve new goals in a dynamic world.
At the age of four, Leela’s grandfather taught her a simple breathing meditation. The simple instruction to follow a smooth flow of breath has served as her connection to the present moment. As a long time student of meditation, Leela has explored and learned many styles of meditation and mindfulness practices and understands the path of meditation is unique to each individual. There are as many kinds of meditations as there are kinds of people. Leela’s personal practice stems from a 500,000 year old unbroken oral tradition which respects and honors all paths for all people.
Leela lives in the Pacific Northwest, USA where she enjoys hiking, writing, and traveling. She volunteers in her neighborhood and organizes the local chapter of Shut Up & Write, offering free weekly meetings fostering connection and creativity in the writing community. She is also working on a memoir focusing on her own healing journey, which of course, involves her experiences with breath, play and transformation.
