About Leanne

Leanne is an experienced Fitness, Yoga and SUP Yoga instructor. She set up her Fitness and SUP business in 2012 to follow her passion for fitness, well-being, adventure and the outdoors.

Leanne was a water baby from a young age, learning to swim at 3 years old. At 7 years she joined her local swimming club, winning several spring and winter club championships and several other medals and rosettes over the next 7/8 years. Swimming 8 times a week plus events and land training twice a week, Leanne was a fit and active child, into any sport she could get involved in, from hockey to running, from football to dance. It was also during these years that Leanne developed her interest and understanding of fitness itself and from a young age could complete exercises proficiently and understand training principles.

She captained the Southampton Water Polo team at University, was captain of the Lampeter Ladies Football Team, started surfing and become a Yoga Teacher (member of Yoga Alliance UK), a Personal Trainer (member of REPS) and is a Sports Massage Therapist (member of FHT),

Continuing her interest for water, Leanne combined her love for yoga, paddleboarding and the environment to become a Paddleboard Yoga Instructor, being the first to do so in West Wales. Through her SUP and well being business, she provides paddle board, SUP Yoga, yoga and fitness activities.
