🌿 About Leola Broussard

Hybrid Yoga Instructor • Wellness Practitioner • Author

Leola Broussard is a hybrid yoga instructor, wellness practitioner, and author with a decade-long journey rooted in personal healing, emotional clarity, and mind-body restoration.

Her approach weaves together restorative yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, holistic wellness, and her SSA Nutrition Certification to create fully integrated wellness experiences that support both body and mind.

For Leola, yoga is not simply a session—it is a sanctuary.

Her work centers on creating a grounded, serene atmosphere from the moment a client enters the room. With a highly intuitive presence, she is known for sensing the emotional tone of a space, recognizing unspoken needs, and guiding sessions with care, steadiness, and intention.

Students often describe her sessions as intuitive, transformative, and exactly what they needed without having to explain.

When appropriate, Leola may incorporate optional essential oils to deepen relaxation, enhance reconnection, and create a sensory experience that supports stress relief and emotional renewal.

Clients consistently leave feeling restored, centered, and rebalanced.

🌿 Leola’s Journey

Leola’s path began in 2014 during a season of significant life transition. Through her own healing journey, she discovered the powerful connection between movement, breath, mindset, and emotional grounding.

What began as a personal practice evolved into a calling: helping others reconnect with peace, clarity, and balance.

Her early experience with YogaSource Los Gatos and YogaSource Palo Alto helped shape her teaching foundation and opened doors to collaborations with studios, corporate wellness programs, boutique spaces, luxury venues, and private clients, including the Four Seasons Palo Alto.

Over the years, her offerings have expanded to include:

  • Private and small-group sessions

  • Corporate wellness experiences

  • Community programs

  • Virtual sessions

  • Mind-body hybrid practices

  • Energy-aware restorative sessions

Her signature approach, rooted in United Mind & Body Wellness, integrates movement, breath, emotional grounding, and reflective wellness practices for individuals seeking greater balance, peace, and alignment.

🌿 Training & Influence

Leola’s foundation is shaped not only by formal training, but by lived experience, personal transformation, and years of guiding others through seasons of stress, change, and renewal.

Her background includes:

  • Restorative Yoga Certification

  • Mindfulness & Mind-Body Integration

  • SSA Nutrition Certification (holistic nutrition & wellness studies)

  • Behavioral and mindset practices rooted in emotional clarity, self-care, and personal renewal

  • A decade of hands-on yoga and wellness experience

  • Real-life insight gained through navigating change, healing, resilience, and reinvention

More than credentials alone, it is Leola’s life journey that helped shape the heart of her brand. Her work was born from firsthand understanding of what it means to seek steadiness during uncertainty, rebuild from within, and create peace in the midst of transition.

This integrated foundation allows her to guide clients with both structure and intuition—balancing practical technique, compassionate presence, and energetic sensitivity.

✍️ Author & Reflective Work

In addition to her wellness work, Leola is the author of reflective books and journals designed to support emotional clarity, self-connection, and mind–body balance.

Author | Mind & Body Wellness Guide

Leola is also a wellness author and mind-body practitioner whose writing centers on emotional awareness, nervous system support, and gentle self-reflection.

Her books and journals are designed as supportive companions—inviting readers to slow down, listen inward, and reconnect with their own clarity, balance, and inner wisdom.

Rooted in lived experience and therapeutic principles, her writing blends reflection, guided prompts, grounding practices, and compassionate insight to help individuals navigate emotional waves, boundaries, burnout, grief, reinvention, and renewal—without pressure or perfection.

Her work speaks especially to those in transition—emotionally, professionally, or personally—who are seeking steadiness, meaning, self-trust, and a softer way forward.

Through both her wellness offerings and written work, Leola’s mission remains the same: to create spaces where people feel supported, seen, and gently guided back to themselves.

Her current collection of books and journals is now available.

Client Reflections & Experiences

  • I just started Yoga not too long ago. I really didn’t understand or know much about Yoga til I started to take Leola’s class. I really love Leola’s teaching methods. She is easy to understand and she is very focused on the individuals that she is working with and their goals. Because of the way she teaches her class it makes me want to continue learning more and doing more with Yoga. Also I like the way she uses essential oils during her classes. I would highly recommend Leola’s Yoga class to anyone who is beginning Yoga or continuing with Yoga.

  • The very presence of Leola Broussard is restorative. Having known her for many years, mentored with her, practiced with her, and learned from her I believe she embodies the Restorative Yoga Practice. Her ability to create a sacred space is unparalleled, whether online or in person, and her use of essential oils brilliant. Leola calms the student and enables them to sink into the Sacred Presence of the moment, initially, and throughout the class. Her creative sequencing and reassuring voice support the student's ability to let go and trust. Students return to Leola because of her talent to facilitate spaciousness, her steadfastness, and her personal touch. In the years we taught together, she created a following of dedicated yogis and a beautiful sense of community for all who graced her practice. I am honored to recommend Leola as a hands on healing professional and a teacher to bring positive change into this world at this time. Practice with leolayogawellness.com and be " in touch with the silence within yourself". Be blessed.

  • Leola is a deeply gentle, intuitive, and intentional yoga instructor. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of expectations whenever I go practice yoga, I was blown away with how Leola’s sessions were everything I could have imagined wanting out of meditative yoga experience. I was touched with how observant she was in knowing what flow I needed, where I needed to stretch more, and noticed my cues when I got fidgety and distracted. She adapted her instruction to my needs and pushed me to stretch myself (literally and figuratively) without being overbearing, intrusive, or distracting. She created so much safety in the space, that I couldn’t help but walk out afterwards as if I finished a cathartic therapy session. I felt emotionally held, grounded, and loved with her guidance. She is a healer.

  • My experiences with Leola have been nothing short of amazing. She is a true professional. She is so mindful of details that make a huge difference in each session. There is no stone unturned. Smells, sounds, equipment, and an awareness of what is needed by each student are all addressed perfectly. She is so thoughtful in every aspect of her work. I always feel like I walk away with much more than a great yoga experience. I've had the opportunity to participate in her restorative sessions. She is so helpful and hands on throughout. I never feel judged, I feel supported. This is truly an extraordinary experience each and every time. I feel so blessed to know her.

  • I have been loving Leola's wellness and yoga programs. The focus on breathing, mindfulness, relaxation, meditation and balance is so restorative. She has a soothing presence that is reassuring, even for an atypical yoga person like me. Although I come stressed and frenzied, I leave glowing and calm thanks to her positive but flexible instruction, encouragement and example. Her preparation before class takes into account every detail- scents, scenes, spacing and sounds. During our classes we practice poses, refine our breathing, improve our posture, find our centers, improve flexibility, gain strength, expand body awareness and increase balance. It will take time, but because she can be flexible, and adjust to my level, I am slowly growing in confidence and interest as I'm connecting mind, body and spirit while finding my inner zen. I have had many a sampler platter of yoga but never desired a full meal until now. She's that good.
