ABOUT

Helping teachers become leaders, and leaders leave a legacy,

9+ years teaching, educating & mentoring

150+ teachers trained in 200- & 300-hour programs

Founder of Pure Zen Yoga + Pure Zen Collaborative

I'm Leah
A yoga teacher, educator, mentor, and unapologetic space-holder for teachers who want to step fully into their voice and lead from the heart.

Over the past 8+ years, I’ve trained over 150 yoga teachers, led powerful 200- and 300-hour trainings, and created transformational spaces where people feel seen, empowered, and reconnected to their purpose.

My approach is real, grounded, and rooted in the belief that the most impactful teachers aren’t the most polished—they’re the most present.

When I’m not teaching yoga, you’ll find me living a full (and sometimes messy) life as a wife, mother, and business owner.

But I’m also so much more than that.
And so are you.

MY STORY

 This path wasn’t always clear—but it was always calling.

When I started teaching yoga, I thought I had to sound perfect—flawless, poetic, endlessly wise. But honestly? It felt forced. About a month in, I stopped trying to be perfect and started showing up as me. Messy. Real. Open.

Something shifted.
My classes filled. Students followed me from studio to studio.

Why? Because I wasn’t just guiding poses—I was showing up with presence and creating real connection.

That moment—when I stopped hiding and started owning my voice—changed everything.

That experience planted a seed for everything I’ve built since: honest, grounded leadership in teaching.

And it’s why I do what I do now.

I DIDN'T HAVE A MENTOR—

SO I BECAME ONE.


Pure Zen Collaborative was born out of a desire to do things differently.

After years of teaching and leading trainings through other studios, I realized something was missing—community. Not just a place to learn, but a space to grow alongside others. To share honestly. To challenge yourself and be deeply supported in return.

So I created Pure Zen Collaborative.

It’s more than a name—it’s a movement. A growing space for teachers to evolve, reconnect to their purpose, and lead with authenticity. Through CEUs, masterclasses, trainings, and mentorship, PZC exists to remind you: you don’t have to do this alone.

It’s more than a platform. It’s a movement for teachers who want to evolve—and stay rooted in who they are while doing it!

Working with Leah was a game-changer. Her presence, insight, and ability to meet you exactly where you are is unlike anything I’ve experienced. She doesn’t just teach...she inspires transformation!! If you’re thinking about it...say yes. You won’t regret it.

What I Believe...

  • Yoga is more than poses....it’s presence.
  • Leadership is lived, not learned.
  • Every teacher deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported.
  • Community > competition.
  • You don’t need to be perfect to be powerful!
