Who is Jennifer Leeder

Jennifer Leeder is Life Yoga's founder. The studio was opened by Jen and her partner Mike on May 17, 2010. Tragically, in early January, 2011, Jennifer died and the future of the studio was unknown. After two months of closure in January and February 2011, Life Yoga reopened in March, 2011 under the care of Carly Stong (who had worked for Jennifer as an instructor since October, 2010).
With love and gratitude, Carly and the Life Yoga team continue to proudly serve the community.

Yoga for Change
On May 17th, 2011, we gathered to pay tribute to Jen with a day of action not only to honouring her memory, but also to raise funds and awareness for those struggling with depression and mental health imbalance.
