I have been wanting to write something for a long time, about Leslie.
First of all, I discovered Leslie‘s primary series with Jessica Cass during Covid and I absolutely fell in love with not only Leslie‘s voice but just the love and kindness that exudes from her in general. I have to admit that I also absolutely love her way of guiding and I love that they do a handstand in the middle of navasana it’s so fun and it had created a challenge for me that I started to do every day and it really made a difference in my handstands and in every other thing too like for instance just coming into the handstand from navasana so many times opened up so many doors with respect to the jump through the jump back and many other things where you need to engage the bandhas. But anyway one thing that was really important to say was that after I found out that Leslie passed away I literally could not listen to her voice for about three months because my heart broke I don’t know what happened to her but what I do know is that she is a very good person and she she obviously was a star a superstar and she did so much good for so many a real live angel and may she may you Leslie may you rest in peace blessings to your family. I never got to meet you but I miss you and I love you

After a few years and some free time I followed along with Leslie’s class today and it was such a beautiful gift❤ the world is a much better place because she Gifted us with her beauty❤️

[inmedichina]

I actually don't know if I've been more captivated by the young lady doing the the voice. The two are incredible, for sure !

[Prernad]

Leslie has a very calming voice, I like this video and regularly practice to it just to have her calming presence during my practice. It is the best tutorial for primary series. She is not excessively talking about physical alignments in a posture which can take your mind off trying to connect to your inner self and be calm in your asana. Here only relevant information and breath counts are enough to experience sthira sukham asanam. Thank you Leslie.

[Vincentwytam]

This girl just never gets tired! Huge respect!

[MartinamigoniPsicologa]

I looove it!!! It's wonderful to see how I can learn the sequence, motivated by a person who looks "human". I mean, seeing those who jump in handstand like gravity doesn't exist for them is wonderful, but feels like I'll never manage to do the same. Thanks for being human :)

[cindylemes]

I still keep coming to this video, love it! More of Ashtanga here would be amazing!

[msnnbc]

This is has become my daily practice. What else could one need for a solid five years of practice or more? This video has it all! I did learn ashtanga at my beloved studio in Philadelphia, but I use this video to continue my practice at home. I love Leslie's voice, and Jessica Kass is amazing.

[katejohnson]

Lesley, you teaching is so powerful, graceful yet invigorating and restorative! The most beautiful balance leading to full body, mind and spirit bliss. Your eloquent guidance throughout the primary series makes for a tranquil and inspiring home practice! So grateful. Namaste :)

I came upon this Class today as I was feeling the need for an empowering class and never did much Ashtanga. Although it's a quite advanced practice and my body starting to give up, I felt strong and positive throughout. I then searched Lesley and found out of her death. I hope wherever she is, she knows she is still empowering and inspiring people all over the World. Love, Margarida

[skintrader]

Wow! This girl is amazing! She has an amazing body and her yoga technique is stunning! She must have been practicing yoga for years. This is a great video, I will definitely try it but I won't be able to do some of those crazy transitions. Thank you Lesley for teaching us, I show off in front of my friends with some very difficult poses and now I inspired them to practice yoga.

[yuanyuanjiang]

Thank you so much for making this video! It has become my go-to video for daily practice.
I was never being able to insist on yoga classes before, even for trying 1-2 times per week. I thought daily practice just wouldn't happen to me, not mentioning a pretty demanding type. But I started with your half-hour intro Ashtanga. After just two weeks, I found myself opening this full series video every day. And these two hours are now the BEST hours in my day. It works like magic!
Thank you Lesley and Jessica!

[annapawlaczyk]

On a daily basis I practice Iyengar yoga in the studio. I craved more advanced / physically demanding classes. Most people who come there get stuck in "I can't do this ", "I have an injury" so the classes have to be for everyone. Although there is always a lot to learn from a great teacher, my body needs more. I never practiced Ashtanga (or maybe one or two of your videos last year) so I found it quite challenging and entertaining.

I have no idea how to jump through or jump back. They don't teach us.

Big thanks to you for the video!

[christinemoen]

Leslie and Jessica,
I am a yoga instructor and am always look for a new inpiration for my practice and teaching skills. Your video has a combination of the basic and advanced Astanga poses, which motivate me to continue practicing yoga. This is one of the most challenging classes that I have ever taken, but it is very inspiring and beneficial for my health and learning needs. I like your philosophy in practicing yoga "Yoga for all." Your instructions and tone of voice are very smoothing and easy to follow. Jessica Kass is an amazing and beautiful yogi. Thank you and appreciate very much for posting this video. You have my full support of your mission, Namaste.

[Prernad]

Rest in peace Leslie. You are my guru, I have practiced to your ashtanga class for the last 4 years.
Thank you for your guidance and hope you continue to inspire us beyond the veil.

[AMBSMAGEE]

Thank you so much for making this wonderful video!! I studied Ashtanga Yoga back in August of 2010 to become an instructor, but life took me another way and I have been out of practice for a few years now. I practice as often as I can at home and follow what I learned and the sequence that I have memorized, but I have not been to a traditional Ashtanga Primary Series class. This is amazing and will help me to work on my Ashtanga practice without having to go to a class. (I can do it while my toddler naps in the comfort of my own home.) Thank you, thank you!

[aminosekai]

Thank you, Lesley. Wherever you might be, thank you. ♡
