Her desire is to bring positive energy and compassion to the mat for everyone from beginner level to advanced. Leah loves the ancient teachings and sharing how yoga can help with healing both physically and mentally, from physical and/or emotional trauma, and how yoga is a powerful tool for achieving overall health.

After many years of contemplating YTT, this was the year it all came together at One Soul for Janeese. Completing the 200 HR teacher training has been one of her most challenging, rewarding and inspiring journeys. She fell in love with yoga from her first class over 15 years ago in McKinney. Over the years she has enjoyed trying a variety of styles of physical practice, but what always kept her returning was the ability yoga gave her to find stillness and quiet her mind. Besides all things yogic, she enjoys her family, hiking, kayaking, art, reading and has a special place in her heart for middle school students.

Rachel (CYT 500) began practicing yoga in 2014 at Brick House Yoga in Sulphur Springs. She was training for a half-marathon at the time and wanted to use yoga to prevent injury and aid in stress relief to reduce migraine headaches. While a yoga practice was perfect for both of these goals, she found so much more on the mat. Without a doubt, the yoga mat is the first place she has ever experienced complete non-judgment. It is where she learned self-acceptance, presence and stillness--and it is where she started a journey of self-discovery that continues today. In short, yoga changed her life. She holds additional certification in Restorative, Yin and Trauma Informed Yoga and has a special interest in teaching body-positive classes and classes geared for beginners.

Libby is a 500-hour CYT and holds certification in Thai Yoga. Libby has been fascinated with yoga for as long as she can remember, enjoying 'Lilias, Yoga and You' when she was a teenager.

Life takes us along many detours, but a re-commitment to yoga led her to recently begin her yoga teacher training. While still discovering and exploring forms of yoga, she currently brings her own quirky, eclectic spin to Hatha Yoga. She also is a longtime practitioner of breathwork and enjoys leading groups in ecstatic dance. Libby is certified in Thai Yoga and offers private sessions at One Soul.
