Leigh McDaniel — Yoga Instructor
Leigh has been enjoying living in Alaska for over 12 years. In 2008, she decided to leave a successful corporate career to pursue her passion of teaching yoga.
She completed her teacher training with Nicki Doane and Eddie Modestini of Maya Yoga in Maui, Hawaii.
Nicki and Eddie believe that the combination of Asana (yogic postures) and Pranayama (conscious breathing) with alignment, philosophy, and a sense of humor creates a sustainable lifelong yoga practice.
Leigh continues to develop her own practice at Laughing Lotus Studio in Anchorage and enjoys biking, hiking, skiing and fly-fishing with her husband Mike and bloodhound Dixie.
She completed 200 Hours of Teacher Training in Maya Yoga with Nicki Doane & Eddie Modestini in April 2008 and is a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance (RYT-200). She also completed an additional 44 hours of teacher training with Shiva Rea (“Embodying the Flow”) in April of 2007.
Carolyn Stone – Administrative Assistant
Carolyn loves Alaska and has lived here for nine years. She has a BA in Economics from Colorado College and began her career in Alaska working in eco-tourism. 
Her hobbies includegetting outside, hiking, yoga, meditation and dog training. In the past her fitness routine consisted of trying to tire out her husky/shepherd on walks or jogs. She is now somewhat older and slightly wiser, and realizes that she needs to include strength and toning exercise as well. Carolyn currently lives in Anchorage with her husband, dog and service puppy-in-training.
