ॐ “Live in the present, forget the past. Give up hopes of the future.” ॐ – Swami Sivananda Hello, my name is Marc Leonard. I am a loving father of two adult children and have been married to my wife since 1996 – YOGA found me when we moved from Germany to London in 2013 when I was 45 years old. I had several burnouts, a major one and a physical breakdown back in 2009, which ended in a severe car accident. My near-death experience (I was knocked out for a couple of minutes) and the fact that I survived this accident without physical injuries changed my life! I learned the lesson to slow down and look after myself – I gradually lost more than 5 stones by changing my lifestyle and habits. After I had been made redundant in a very successful corporate IT Management position, I took the long-seeking opportunity to graduate as a traditional Hatha Yoga Teacher at The Sivananda Yoga Vedanta Ashram London in June 2019. This intense Teachers’ Training and an entire month in seclusion changed my life. From practising yoga as a physical exercise, I became a spiritual yogi and teacher passionate about sharing the 5,000-year-old yoga science and wisdom with lovely students and like-minded people, regardless of their ethical, religious background or gender. Thus, I truly embrace ‘Unity in Diversity! I founded Leoprana Ltd. to combine IT Consultancy and Teaching Yoga.
