Lesley was first inspired to practice yoga by her mum, who was a teacher in the early days of the Tauranga Yoga Centre, when she was 11 years old. Lesley gained a diploma with The International Yoga Teachers Association(NZ) in 2006, and an Advanced Teacher Training Certificate with Donna Farhi in 2008. She has been teaching at the centre since October 2005. "My classes are a blend of various Hatha yoga styles, mainly influenced by BKS Iyengar and Donna Farhi. I believe Yoga is an organic journey, which changes and is moulded by the things going on around you, it is never static and the learning never stops."
