🌿 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.

For Leola, yoga is not just a session—it is a sanctuary.
Her work centers on reading the energy in the room, feeling what her clients need, and setting a grounded, serene atmosphere the moment a student walks in. Her ability to sense emotional patterns, subtle energy shifts, and the unspoken needs of a room has become one of her defining strengths. Students often say her sessions feel "intuitive," “transformative,” and “exactly what they needed without having to explain.”

Although the use of essential oils is optional, Leola often integrates them into her sessions to enhance calm, deepen reconnection, and create a sensorial experience that supports stress relief and emotional renewal. Students consistently leave feeling restored, centered, and rebalanced.

🌿 Leola’s Journey

Leola’s personal path began in 2014 during a season of deep life transition. Through her own healing process, she discovered the transformative connection between movement, breath, mindset, and emotional grounding. What started as personal practice soon evolved into a calling: helping others find the same peace, clarity, and balance her own journey revealed.

Her early training and guidance roles at YogaSource Los Gatos and YogaSource Palo Alto shaped her teaching foundation and opened doors to additional collaborations with studios, corporate wellness environments, boutique spaces, luxury venues, and private clients—including the prestigious Four Seasons Palo Alto.

Over the years, her offerings have expanded to include:

  • Private and small-group sessions

  • Corporate wellness sessions

  • Community programs

  • Virtual sessions

  • Mind–body hybrid practices

  • Energy-aware restorative sessions

Leola later supported teacher-training development, contributing her insight into energy awareness, restorative sequencing, and the emotional aspects of yoga instruction.

Her signature method—LeolaYogaWellness & More, aligned with her United Mind & Body Wellness model—integrates mind, breath, movement, emotional grounding, and wellness clarity. It was designed for individuals who are craving balance, seeking peace, and longing for a space where their mind and body finally align.

🌿 Training & Influence

Leola’s 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

This integrated foundation allows her to guide students with both structure and intuition—balancing practical technique with energetic sensitivity.

🌿 Closing

Through her work as a hybrid yoga instructor, wellness practitioner, and author, Leola continues to guide individuals toward balance, grounding, and a deeper sense of self—one mindful, intentional session at a time.

  • 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.

  • 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.
