Meet lEif

A debilitating running injury led Leif (RYT-200) to yoga. He started practicing yoga outside during his work lunch breaks. He was surprised to learn that yoga a) helped his body heal, b) boosted his confidence, c) reduced his chronic stress, and d) did not require designer workout clothes. He stuck with it. After his IT band healed, he centered his workout routine around yoga.

While leading men’s workouts with F3 Cincinnati (Fitness Fellowship Faith), he realized how much men need (and resist) yoga. He started leading Broga workouts—open to men of all ages, ability, and backgrounds in a low-pressure setting—and hasn’t stopped since. He received his certification and continues to teach with F3 and at MAC Fitness Center.

Leif stays active (lifting, running, hiking, kayaking, gardening, etc.), but yoga glues it all together for him. While off the mat, he plays music, cleans up after his teenagers, tends to chickens and cats, reads books, and generally would rather be outside.
