Leslie Bradley, Director of Blue Spruce Yoga, has taught yoga in the Iyengar tradition since 1985. She is certified at the Intermediate level and is a recommending teacher in the certification process. She has made four trips to Pune, India to study directly with the Iyengars, most recently in 2002.

Leslie was chosen as one of 70 women from 18 countries to attend the Women's Intensive with Geeta Iyengar, learning much about the application of yoga to women's specific needs. She studies with and assists senior teachers in America on a regular basis. She was an assessor in the teacher certification process in 2003, 2004, and 2005. She has served as President, Vice President, and Secretary of IMIYA, the regional Iyengar association.

Leslie started yoga for the joy of the physical postures. Over the years of practice and study, she has found yoga philosophy to be a source of great comfort, inspiration and wisdom. B.K.S. Iyengar is of an ancient and respected lineage in the yoga tradition, and Leslie is grateful to have all the wisdom of her teachers and their teachers to inform her practice and teaching. She is also grateful to have the opportunity to share what she can with her students.
