Leslie is an Oakland-based, internationally-acclaimed Yoga educator who pioneered the growing field of Yoga for pelvic health. Sonima Health named her one of the top 50 Yoga instructors in the USA. Leslie leads Pelvic Floor YogaTM certification trainings and other workshops across the United States and internationally. Her teaching is informed by over 3,500 hours of study with senior Iyengar Yoga teachers, including Manouso Manos, Patricia Walden, and Ramanand Patel. In 2013, Leslie, with contributions from Judith Lasater, co-designed two successful studies at UCSF medical center that demonstrated the effectiveness of her Yoga techniques for incontinence and pelvic pain. Leslie’s own struggles to heal her hips and pelvis led her to intense study of the anatomy, physiology, cultural messaging, history, and energetics of this complex area of the body.  Her new book, Pelvic Liberation, is available through Amazon.  See more at lesliehowardyoga.com
