About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Leah Shirley embarked on a journey to heal her mind and body through the power of yoga over two decades ago. A devoted yoga instructor, yoga school owner, and the co-founder of Agni Yoga Portland, she is guided by her passion to educate and empower people through the art of movement by cultivating a deeper connection with their bodies. With a degree in Exercise Science from the University of Massachusetts, Leah has foundational knowledge of exercise, human performance, and its correlation with the structure and function of the body.
Committed to her practice with a willingness to learn, she continued her education at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy, Anatomical Dissection with Gil Hedley and then later embarked on three Embodying True Nature retreats and Primordial Breathwork facilitation training at the Paititi Institute in Peru. By exploring the world of yoga and embracing the endless opportunities it presents, Leah continues to share her expertise by providing lasting value, support, and guidance to the evolving Agni Yoga community.
