Rebeccah Leister

Rebeccah, RYT 200-hour, discovered yoga at a young age from her aunt who had been trained at Kripalu as a yoga teacher. It was only a small understanding she had until she was about 22 and started to take yoga classes from a local studio because they were sponsoring a 5k Beccah was involved in. Then the gates opened. It became a complete healing process both physically and mentally. Deciding to explore the world and her love of yoga, she ended up volunteering at a school in a "slum" in India. The kids were restless and it was hard to get them to come together to learning. This lead to involve the whole school in an early morning practice of yoga before each day began. It seemed as though she had found her place. As soon as she returned to the states she decided the next chapter of her life was going to be yoga teacher training. The training only confirmed that she had made the right choice. She is now deepening her practice and has been amazed by the doors it has opened. Her ultimate goal is to bring volunteerism and the yoga comunity together.
