Leslie Lutsch lives in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado, where her days are shaped by skiing, rafting, climbing, and a deep love for nature. But her greatest passion—and the thread that runs through every part of her life—is yoga.

Leslie first came to Anamaya over a decade ago as a student, and that journey changed everything. What began as a retreat blossomed into years of dedicated study across Costa Rica, Indonesia, and India, leading her through 200, 300, and 500-hour trainings. She went on to assist her beloved teacher for three years of Yoga Teacher Trainings at Anamaya and eventually to teach her own retreats.

With more than 10 years of teaching experience—from owning her own studio, to workshops, to even horse yoga—Leslie has seen yoga’s ability to transform lives in countless ways. Her classes weave together movement, philosophy, and spiritual depth, always returning to one truth: the balance of discipline and surrender.

She believes yoga is not just a practice but a way of living—a daily act of choosing awareness, compassion, and alignment with your dharma. Her philosophy is grounded in the wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita and the belief that through action, discipline, and presence, we can move toward our highest selves.

Leslie lives by the motto, “Live for the moments that take your breath away.” Her teaching invites you to do the same—to step fully into the present moment, awaken your energy, and discover the magic that unfolds when body, mind, and spirit align.
