Episode description
Alex is super happy to have Leigh Saulnier on the show today! Leigh and Alex met over a year ago and Leigh has had a very active role in the Mindful Life Practice Community. Leigh started practicing daily yoga with the MLPC during the Coronavirus pandemic. Leigh had practiced off and on for many years before, but got more inspired to practice daily when she had to stop running due to arthritis. She has competed in the Ironman triathlon as well as many marathons in the past and felt a big void in my life when she was no longer marathon training.
Leigh recently retired from her job as an occupational therapist working with children with sensory processing disorders. She is currently doing the 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with the MLPC and hope to be able to start teaching yoga in the fall of 2021. Leigh enjoys all types of yoga practice and has especially enjoyed learning pranayama and meditation practices recently.
Leigh is alcohol free and has greatly benefitted from participating in the sober circles and connecting with the other folks in the community. It gives Leigh joy to build friendships with people all over the world. Her interests are ever changing but right now she loves knitting, gardening, cooking (and eating) vegan food, and reading books about antiracism and the environmental movement. Tune into this episode to hear more about Leigh's sober journey, how yoga has played a role, and where she sees her sober yoga journey going! Leigh hopes to start teaching yoga for The Mindful Life Practice in the fall. Catch her for classes at www.themindfullifepractice.com.
