Root To Rise offers yoga and meditation classes to small groups, school and corporate settings, addiction facilities, and private sessions.
Leslie Gibbons founded Root To Rise Yoga in 2014 after studying under Lynn Matthews and Yoga 4 Life. She received her 200 hr RYT and is registered with Yoga Alliance.
Leslie began practicing yoga over 12 yrs. ago and noticed the impact it made on her personal struggles with anxiety and depression. Her goal is to spread the gift of yoga to as many people as she can.
She currently teaches in studio settings, elementary schools and private groups throughout the community. Her hope is to continue to grow in the school systems as she has seen amazing results in the children she works with. She's also focusing on bringing her teachings into addiction facilities within the Annapolis area.
In 2015 Leslie received her Yoga Nidra Certification studying under Kamini Desai with the Amrit Yoga Institute. Yoga Nidra is a sleep based meditation technique where clients are lead through a practice that creates a combination of alert awareness and deepest relaxation. You are taken into alpha and theta states of consciousness where repair and healing can occur.
Her Personal Mantra: "I am present in my spiritual path to healing"
