Leanne Kitteridge
Leanne is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance and has been teaching yoga since 2004. In 2006, Leanne became interested in Anusara Yoga®, a style of yoga that assisted with the healing of chronic pain issues in her shoulder. Anusara Yoga® is one of fastest growing and most popular styles of yoga and is known for its use of the Universal Principles of Alignment™ - an elegant system that integrates good structural therapy with a connection to heart and mind. Research shows that our psychology affects our physiology and yoga can help bridge this mind/body link.
Leanne is one of a handful of yoga instructors in Canada that has been accepted into the prestigious Anusara® Certification Process. Utilizing yoga therapy, Leanne helps patients transition their physiotherapy program into a yoga practice, using a holistic approach that is consistent with the approach advocated at Diane Lee & Associates for movement facilitation and exercise.
Working one-on-one, patients are guided through a variety of yoga positions to determine which areas of the body need strengthening, lengthening, and releasing. Leanne teaches how to move from the inside out, empowering patients to shift away from pain and back into the activities they enjoy.
