Now, in Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit, her expert guidance and wisdom are available to us all." Charles Attal Partner at C3 Presents Producer of Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, and Austin City Limits Music Festivals Board Member of Wanderlust "In a world that is increasingly complex and stressful, Leah Cullis' inspiring new book Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit invites you to listen to your own inner guide. Leah offers step-by-step instructions on yoga and meditation practices for life today. Filled with knowledge that comes from years of practice and teaching, the chapters offer you a yoga practice that is free of perfectionism and looking right--and is filled with how-tos for developing your own competencies, your inner well-being, and an embodied sense of what is possible for you on and off your yoga mat. Read this book and get back to the strength and connection that are in you!" Catherine Cook-Cottone, PhD, RYT-500 Licensed Psychologist Professor and Researcher at State University of New York at Buffalo "Leah Cullis is a dynamic and passionate yoga teacher! In her book, Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit, she shines a light on the profound healing that takes place when one is committed to a daily practice. A must-read for teachers and students!" Jonny Kest Master Yogi Founder of Center for Yoga in Detroit "There is no more honorable role in the world than the role of the teacher. Teachers inspire. They heal. They lead. Much of their work is done quietly and without fanfare. It requires deep love and profound humility. The world is so fortunate that Leah Cullis chose the path she did. She's put in her 10,000 hours, and now she shares her knowledge, heart, and empathy in Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit." Jeff Krasno Cofounder and Chairman of Wanderlust CEO of Commune Author of Wanderlust and Find Your True Fork "Leah Cullis is a gifted teacher. In Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit, she generously shares the insights from her wealth of experience as both a student and teacher. Through this lens, Leah effectively guides students of any and all experience levels to develop practices that resonate with their body, mind, and heart. This is a powerful work from a powerful teacher." Chris Lucas Founder of Ompractice "If you're looking for authenticity--a woman, a teacher, and a friend, through her powerful words, who is truly herself and is flawed, beautiful inside and out, and fan-freaking-tastic--look no further. Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit and its author, Leah Cullis, are simply the real deal." Bethany Lyons Founder and CEO of Lyons Den Power Yoga in New York City "Leah is not only a guiding light for students but for teachers as well. Leah teaches from the heart with thoughtfulness and clear intention. She possesses the unique ability to take anyone she is leading to a higher level physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Those who are seeking to develop strength, focus, balance, and purpose in yoga, as well as all areas of life, will find this book, Power Yoga: Strength, Sweat, and Spirit, to be a must-have." Randi Marks Intuitive Healer and Spiritual Teacher "I have known Leah Cullis, an inspirational human and yoga teacher, for many years. Power Yoga: Sweat, Strength, and Spirit is full of insight from her years of dedicated practice and understanding of the yoga pathway, from the physical experience of yoga and asana to the spiritual component that is so essential in today's world. Cullis sheds a new light on how to embody the practice and apply its teachings to life in the modern world." Nicole Tsong Fit for Life Columnist for The Seattle Times Author of Yoga for Hikers and Yoga for Climbers Board President of Yoga Behind Bars "I am constantly inspired by the heart, clarity, and depth of knowledge Leah consistently brings to her students and her life as a whole.

A true teacher of teachers, Leah's language is essential, her knowledge is palpable, and her teachings are both elevated and accessible." Kate Waitzkin Yoga and Meditation Teacher
