10Best Yoga/Pilates/Barre Studio
What began decades ago as a way to cope with the stresses that come along with a young family has blossomed into the greatest gift of my life. After years of teaching in studios, the pandemic forced a pivot, and I began teaching on Zoom. Of course, I thought it would be temporary, but I still hold most of my classes online. What surprised me was that many people enthusiastically embraced the Zoom classes and were happy to stay there permanently. Travel and weather were no longer an issue, and yoga moved to the privacy and comfort of home, dressing any way we liked, listening to our own music, and even having our beloved pets next to us (usually hogging our mats)! People were able to join from all over the country regardless of where they lived. Zoom yoga has been a gift to me, and I invite you to join me! I send Zoom Links every Friday in a newsletter along with announcements of special classes and workshops I offer. Several times a year, I teach an in-person class at the Chi Healing Center in Canton. I welcome beginners and all fitness levels to my classes. I have a very practical approach, and my classes are gentle and mindful.

10Best Energy Healer
During my decades-long career as a trial lawyer, I realized the amount of human suffering that attorneys, doctors, therapists, and others face can be overwhelming. The build-up of this toxic load took a huge toll on me, and I began my search for more holistic ways of coping. For over a decade, I have studied tai chi and yoga. In 2018, I became a Wim Hof Method Instructor as I realized the power of breathwork and cold exposure. For over four years now, I have offered yoga, breath work, and tai chi for my clients and have created a serene place, both inside and outside the office, to help provide them with coping skills. Organic herb, flower, and vegetable gardens that Leslie cares for, along with two Little Free Libraries, bring joy to the New Britain community and to my staff and clients. Oh, and the guy in the middle is our Dog Star Rescue dog named Ghost (dogstarrescue.org). He helps, too.
