Leah spent several years teaching lower elementary school in Detroit where she developed a passion for early education in underserved communities. Having various yoga certifications, including trauma-informed training, she started a preschool yoga program in 2019.  Leah quickly saw the benefits mindfulness and movement brought to young children. In 2020, the program evolved into the nonprofit corporation that is Laughing Dogs Yoga. She has continued her education in both yoga therapy and somatic healing.
