Leslie Loeza-Gamel, Creator/Founder of My Lucky Karma
My name is Leslie an Loeza-Gamel and I am a wife and mother to, two boys. In 2009 I had the opportunity to move to Japan and live there for 5 years. While this wasn’t my first introduction to Buddhism, my time in Japan allowed me to create lasting friendships with people who opened my eyes to the beauty of their way of thinking and how they percieved lifes triumphs and struggles. After I started to practice meditation, I embarked on a deep journey to find myself. I suffer with anxiety and seasonal depression but, meditation and mindfulness has helped me learn to live in the moment and allow my feelings to exist without letting them control my actions. Meditation and yoga have changed me so much. They both have helped me embrace what life has to offer. Shortly after opening My Lucky Karma, I began my journey into becoming a yoga teacher. I received my 200-hour YTT through Nya Patrinos (Art of Yoga) and am Yoga Alliance certified in 200- HR RYT, Yoga Nidra, Yin Yoga and Restorative Yoga. Because of all of these positive changes that meditation, yoga, and the pursuit of mindfulness have given me, I created My Lucky Karma with the hope of helping others on thier own spiritual transformations.
