About Lucky Yoga
What is Lucky Yoga?
Lucky Yoga manifested during COVID-19 Quarantine in 2020 with live classes online on Zoom. After the world shut down, along with its yoga studios and gyms, Lucky Yoga provided a way to get back on the mat, reconnect with yourself, connect with old and new friends, and explore the world of asana together.
Hosting students online from Los Angeles, Texas, Canada, and Germany, and more, Lucky Yoga is an international union of breath and movement.
With my diverse background in education and fitness, each yoga class has a unique offering. Every class is arranged to inspire joy and relieve stress.
Classes include beginner friendly sequences with fitness, flow, Yin stretching, restoration, mindful movement, dance, fun, Reiki, breath work, and more!
About Leah
Who am I?

My name is Leah!
Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA, I have enjoyed the pleasure of being a teacher for most of my life. During my first years in college, I was a martial arts instructor, earning a few black belts on my path. Aside from teaching, I have been a manager at a health spa and waited my way through the service industry.
I am a multimedia artist and jewelry maker who greatly enjoys the arts and spending time with nature. I love to travel, ride my monowheel, try new food, read books, play video games, and discover new places on the map along the way.

When YogaWorks closed its physical locations, I was grateful to discover their online classes appear as the lockdown continued. I earned my 200 Hour RYT Teacher Training Credential from Yoga Works over Zoom that spring.
I continued my education online with a 40 hour teacher training for Trauma Informed Fundamentals from Collective Resilience shortly after receiving my teaching credentials.
During a road trip to bring family home from Texas to California, I also completed my Shinpinden Reiki Training, learning the Usui Reiki Ryoho and Tibetan Reiki Systems. With remote trainings, we have learned truly anything is possible.
In February of 2021, I began my 300 Hour RYT Teacher Training program with Yoga works, once again over Zoom. Since graduating in June 2021, I also received my Yin Yoga certification.
I am expanding my group fitness certification training to include Trampoline Rebound and more to come!

My Background
I received my Associates Degrees from Pasadena City College in the subjects of Arts of Humanities, Psychology, and Social and Behavioral Sciences. I enjoyed a majority of my time reading philosophy, theology, history, and anthropology during my years at PCC.
I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Liberal Studies while completing the Elementary Teaching Credential program at California State University Northridge. I graduated from CSUN just as the world shut down for Quarantine in 2020.
I am always eager to learn something new and find the next special training to expand my education and teaching.
