LEELA MILLER
After working on an ashram, and a Sivananda teacher training in 1986, Leela left corporate business, and the Midwestern US, for London, where she integrated the physicality of dynamic yoga and healthy alignment into her “old school” yoga of service and meditation. She was one of the first Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga teachers in London and as a result introduced this style to many people from all walks of life.
Subsequent diagnoses of glaucoma and Ehlers Danlos Syndrome led her to study how to manage chronic conditions, how the body heals, the power of stillness and to reassess her approach to the practice of asana to more consciously incorporate these elements.
Leela is a Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, a Relax and Renew restorative teacher, a HeartMath coach and a Yoga Nidra teacher. Leela regards yoga as a blueprint for living a good life as well as a healing art; and her teaching as an ever-evolving spiritual practice.
Leela is deeply indebted to Danny Paradise, David Swenson, Alaric Newcombe and Judy Smith for their generosity, guidance and wisdom on and off the mat.
