Lesley Hunter, originally born in England, began teaching yoga many moons ago in Norway and has since found her life's passion in sharing Prana Vinyasa Flow Yoga. As a wife and loving mom of 5 active sons, 4 cats and also a passionate gardener, Lesley loves to weave her connection to nature and family into her classes.

Lesley began her studies of yoga over 30 years ago in Europe and the United States and was always inspired by the creative and deeply rooted teachings from Shiva Rea. Fast forward to 2018 she returned to her path of deeper studies in Prana Vinyasa, with Kelley Doyle, an affiliate trainer for Shiva Rea’s yoga school, completing 400 hours of training in person in Southern California.

At home during the pandemic she immersed herself into her studies of Shiva Rea online, completing over 500 hours of Prana Vinyasa teacher training and soulful wellness as well as Vedic astrology. Her newly created private yoga instruction studio, Nourished Heart Yoga, is located in San Juan Capistrano.  Last but not least, Lesley has been a dedicated Ark of San Juan volunteer for over 6 years. Join her and our loveable Ark Angel kitties on the mat at Yoga with Cats and immerse yourself in this PURR-FECT wellspring from the heart!
