HEALING OUTREACH PROGRAMS
Lesley’s healing outreach programs bring self-awareness workshops and yoga training to women and girls in developing countries and inner city New York.
The Authenticity Project learning is centered around the notion that all women must develop an awareness of who they are, make choices that serve them and others, and let go of negative thought and behavioral patterns that block confidence, achievement, personal growth and overall well being.
Healing Outreach Workshop with Lesley in Cambodia, 2008
Participants are taught tools and techniques drawn from yoga philosophy and practice that is presented in a fresh way that makes the practice relatable and applicable to everyday school, home or work life situations.
Authenticity Project participants will learn how they can draw on their innate qualities and make positive choices that will benefit themselves and their community.
Meditation instruction is an important aspect of The Authenticity Project Healing Outreach Program.
Workshop attendees learn how to take control of their choices and actions by being authentic to themselves.
As they progress, the women are taught to teach and assist each other.
Up Next: Inspired by reports that past workshop participants have returned to their home villages and passed on the teachings of yoga to women there, Lesley has begun to create a teacher training program for women in developing countries and inner city New York. The program will train women to find their own voice, apply yoga teachings to everyday life, and learn to pass on the wisdom they have gained from yoga practice with confidence, clarity and joy.
Ideally, The Authenticity Project will support trainees in starting their own community yoga centers and classes. These centers will offer women a way to earn income, finding positive and healthy opportunities to support thier families, communities and themselves.
