Leeanne R. Porta
500-hour RYT
Yoga & Fitness Instructor
With over 14 years of experience in yoga and fitness, I bring a grounded, thoughtful approach to every class I teach.
I’m a 500-hour Registered Yoga Teacher and Reiki Master. I’m also an AFAA Certified Group Fitness Instructor, with additional training in barre and other movement styles.
My classes are designed to build strength, improve mobility, and deepen body awareness while staying accessible and engaging for all levels.
My teaching blends structure, intention, and a bit of humor. The work is real, but it doesn’t have to feel heavy. Whether guiding a balance challenge or a creative flow, my goal is simple: to help you move better, feel stronger, and feel more at home in your body.
Based in Chelmsford, MA, I offer local classes and workshops and am available to travel for events.
