Yoga with Leo Leicester

This week’s theme is Full Body Release 🌕✨

With the full moon just gone, it feels like the perfect time to release anything that no longer serves us, create space, and welcome in new opportunities.

This week in class we’ll be focusing on a beautiful full-body stretch and release, with breathwork, mindful movement and time to fully relax on the mat together.

Sadly, tomorrow will be our last Family Wellbeing session for a little while, as the funding has now come to an end. I’m taking a little pause to think about what comes next and how it might move forward. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported it 🤍

This week’s classes:

Monday – Menphys Hub
6–6.45pm Family Wellbeing
7–8pm Yoga for Everyone

Tuesday – Newton Harcourt Reading Rooms
7–8pm Yoga for Everyone

Please note: Tuesday evening is now capped at 16 spaces, so booking is essential. There are currently 6 people booked on, so if you’d like to come, please book online to secure your space. If you normally walk in, just send me a message first so I can make sure there’s room 🤍

Thursday – South Wigston Congregational Church
10–11am Step, Stretch & Smile

Friday – Elliott Hall
10–11am Seated Yoga
12–12.45pm Mindful Movement

Plenty of opportunities this week to stretch, breathe, de-stress and unwind.

Let’s breathe into October together 🤍

And… how do we like this week’s moon-inspired image? 🌙✨

Meet Leomi 👋 The face behind Yoga with Leo.

I share a lot about my classes, but perhaps a little less about the person teaching them! I’m a solo mum who loves coffee, long walks, dancing and singing, church, cooking and eating good food. Give me a swim and a sauna too, and I’m very happy.

I love the people I get to meet through my classes and the chats we have along the way. If we haven’t met yet, hello! Tell me something you love doing outside of work 💗

✨ Theme of the Week: Twist It Out ✨

This week we’ll be bringing lots of lovely, gentle twists into our classes — creating space through the body, mobilising the spine and taking time to breathe deeply into each movement. 🌿

All classes are running as normal this week, and I’m really looking forward to seeing you on the mat.

A huge thank you as well to everyone who came along to the very first Mindful Movement class on Friday — such a lovely start to this new class. 💛 There’s still a little space if you’d like to join us this week.

And if you have children or grandchildren, or know a family who could use 45 minutes of calm, movement and connection together, Family Wellbeing on Monday evening is a gorgeous little class and everyone is very welcome.

Here’s to a week of breathing, moving and twisting it out. 🧘‍♀️✨

NEW CLASS ✨ MINDFUL MOVEMENT

Starting Friday 18 September, 12–12:45pm at Elliott Hall, South Wigston.

This is something a little different — a gentle, standing class bringing together Tai Chi-inspired movement, yoga, mindfulness and breathwork.

We’ll work on balance, leg and core strength, mobility and coordination, while also giving you 45 minutes to slow down, breathe and clear your mind. Seated options will always be available too.

It’s not traditional Tai Chi and it’s not a traditional yoga class — it’s simply Mindful Movement, Yoga with Leo style 💜

No experience needed and everyone is welcome.

£6 drop-in or £25 for a 5-class pass.
No need to book — just come along and give it a try 😊

🌿 THIS WEEK: FULL BODY 🌿

To complete our Summer Body Focus series, this week we’re bringing everything together with a gentle full-body practice.

We’ll relax, release and stretch the whole body while tuning into how we’re feeling on the inside.

A chance to slow down.
A chance to be still.
A chance to give some time back to yourself. 💛

Everybody is welcome—whether you’ve been coming regularly or haven’t made it to class for a while, there is always space for you to return.

And this Thursday, Step, Stretch & Smile is back! 🌟

🕙 10–11am
📍 South Wigston Congregational Church

Join us for a feel-good hour of movement to music, with seated options available. We’ll move the whole body, strengthen the legs, improve balance and, most importantly, enjoy ourselves!

If you know somebody who would enjoy or benefit from the class, please share this post or bring them along.

Please note: Family Wellbeing restarts on Monday 7 September.

I’m looking forward to seeing you this week. 🧘‍♀️✨

Last Wednesday, I had the pleasure of being invited to Drummond Dance Studios to lead a yoga class for their beautiful dancers as part of their incredible 12-hour Danceathon. 🧘‍♀️💃

The Danceathon was held in aid of the UK Sepsis Trust and in memory of Chloe, a beautiful young girl who sadly passed away from sepsis at just 13 years old.

This cause is also very close to my heart, as it will soon be four years since I lost a very close friend to sepsis. I’m wholeheartedly behind anything that helps to raise both awareness and vital funds.

The dancers successfully reached their fundraising target, which is absolutely fantastic, but any further donations would still be very gratefully received. The link to donate is below. ❤️

Thank you so much to Drummond Dance Studios for inviting me to be part of such a meaningful event, and to all the dancers who joined the yoga session and gave it their full focus. I hope you enjoyed taking a moment to slow down, stretch and breathe—and felt the benefits afterwards!

Well done to everyone involved in this wonderful tribute to Chloe. 🩷
