Leah Kaylor

Dr. Leah Kaylor, Ph.D., MSCP
Certified Yoga Instructor | Sleep & Trauma Psychologist | FBI’s Sleep Expert

Dr. Leah Kaylor is a 200-hour certified yoga teacher (My Vinyasa Practice) and trauma-informed clinical psychologist with years of experience supporting first responders, military personnel, and high-performance professionals in reclaiming their rest. She currently leads weekly yoga classes for the FBI and holds specialized certification in hot yoga. As a licensed prescribing psychologist with national yoga insurance coverage, Dr. Kaylor blends rigorous science with compassionate movement to help people unwind both mentally and physically.

Recognized by Tom’s Guide in 2025 as one of the world’s leading voices in sleep health, Dr. Kaylor was featured in a standalone article showcasing her 15-minute yoga routine for faster sleep onset—an accessible practice rooted in neuroscience, breathwork, and yogic tradition (see below). Her clinical expertise and yoga philosophy meet in one powerful belief: sleep is not simply a physical act; it is a psychological and spiritual surrender. Yoga, when applied mindfully, can bridge the gap between hyperarousal and deep rest.

She is the creator of Restorative Yoga for Sleep, a hybrid program that combines evidence-based sleep education with gentle, guided movement. This trauma-sensitive offering draws from the latest research in psychophysiology and restorative practice to support vagal tone, reduce cortisol, and rewire bedtime associations for improved sleep continuity. Her evening yoga workbook has been used by clients, clinicians, and caregivers alike as a tool for nervous system regulation and bedtime ritual design.

Whether on the mat or in the therapy room, Dr. Kaylor’s approach honors the body as a gateway to healing and sleep as a sacred act of restoration. Her teaching is rooted in accessibility, scientific integrity, and the deep belief that everyone deserves to rest well—especially those who serve.
