Instructor Biographies
Lesley Halcro - Founder, YogaWorks Toronto
A student of yoga since 1997,
Lesley’s personal journey along the path of yoga began as a way to overcome
chronic back pain. She quickly realized that her yoga practice was not only
benefiting her physically, but also emotionally and spiritually.
Lesley has been a teacher of
adult literacy and English as a second language for more than 20 years, so it
was only natural that she combine her love of teaching with her passion for
yoga. She holds a 350-hour Yoga Teacher Certificate (RYT-200), graduating from
the EWYT program in early 2006. Continuing her studies, Lesley has also taken
additional courses on back care yoga, yoga for children, pre-natal yoga, yoga for
older adults, and restorative yoga.
Lesley’s classes are taught
in the classical Hatha tradition, focusing on a blend of postures, conscious
breathing, and meditation - to relax, rejuvenate and enhance mind/body
awareness. With her gentle yet encouraging teaching style, Lesley strives to
create a safe and non-threatening atmosphere that honours each person’s
background and abilities.
