Episode 197: Using the Yoga Mat to Build Spiritual Resilience with Leslie Pearlman

My guest today is Leslie Pearlman, a yoga teacher, spiritual resiliency mentor, and founder of Good Ground Yoga. She’s a former domestic violence attorney and discovered the connection between personal empowerment and self-healing that catapulted her on her mission today of turning ordinary people into “Spiritual Warriors” through yoga.

Over the last 20+ years, Leslie has taught thousands of students how to stand their ground, heal their chronic pain, and take charge of their life. Leslie is also a wife, mom of 1, stepmom of 3, and step-grandmother of 1.

In this episode, Leslie and I talked about:

• Why she became a domestic violence attorney but ultimately found it unsatisfying.
• How yoga was introduced to her and played a key role for most of her life.
• The retreat that led to her major life pivot and quitting law for good.
• Her 5 spiritual practices she used to overcome her fears when her dream to start her own yoga studio was still a dream, and they likely aren’t what you think.

Leslie is proof positive that anyone can be the heroine of their own life, that it is safe and possible to have irrefutable faith in your big bold dreams, and that creating a life of impact and meaning happens when you become a determined goal achiever.
