The Leewi Story

Leewi Yoga Front Door on Mississauga RoadLeewi – pronounced “lee-why” – is the reflection of Catherine’s bond with her two sons, Leo and Will.

Catherine, who adopted both of her children, learned to channel the inspiration her sons provide into her personal yoga practice.

Challenged by the seemingly simple yet impossible to master Triangle Pose, Catherine struggled to find grace until an instructor suggested she call on the power of visualization. In order to open herself to the pose’s benefits, Catherine extended her arms in opposite directions, and envisioned reaching out to her two children. As she brought Leo and Will into the pose with her, Catherine understood the meaning behind this “Triangle,” for it was only through looking to a power greater than herself that she could achieve the balance between effort and peace that this asana offers.

With this realization, the love and joy Catherine experiences from yoga has tremendously increased and in turn, fueled her decision to open a studio where she could share her devotion to yoga with the community.
