Leah started dancing at the early age of three and quickly fell in love with all aspects of dance and the body. She trained for 15 years in ballet, jazz, modern, contemporary and musical theatre before earning a place at the prestigious Laine Theatre Arts. 

She graduated in 2012 with a National Trinity Diploma with Special Merit in Musical Theatre as well as teaching qualifications with the ISTD in Modern Dance. Leah has worked at a multitude of studios and is  constantly developing her experience as a teacher. 

In 2020, Leah completed her first Teacher training here in Hong Kong at Anahatha Yoga Studio. She was certified from The Asana Andiappan college of yoga and research centre- accredited under The International Yoga Academy. Soon after, Leah began teaching at Ikigai, building community and friends from the very beginning. During the next five years, Leah attended many workshops and classes as well as certifying herself as a Lagree instructor. In 2023, Leah decided to deeper her spiritual practice further, and enrolled in her second Yoga Teacher Training course at The Sivananda Ashram in Uttarkashi, accredited by the Indian Yoga Association,  awarded the spiritual name ‘Parvati’ 

Leah has been a familiar face at Ikigai since the very beginning and has co-led two of Ikigai’s very own Teacher Training courses, teaching asana and sequencing. 

Leah feels extremely blessed that she has a career that enables her to do what she loves. And in turn feels excited to share her knowledge and inspire others to express themselves through yoga.
