Portia Leigh is a journalist and poet from Los Angeles, California. A certified 200 HR yoga instructor and perpetual student, she is passionate about sharing the practice with others through teaching and writing about yoga and yogic philosophy. She sails, snowboards, rides motorcycles and recently took up kiteboarding. She finds traveling and the people she meets along the way to be among the most fulfilling and enlightening things in life, and she is constantly looking for new adventures to write about.

With degrees in both journalism and philosophy, she is driven to tell the truth in a way that weighs opposing viewpoints, cuts to the root of the issue and mindfully offers solutions to how we can find common ground to stand on as human beings. She has writen for No. 3 Magazine in New York and Gypsyrich.com. Her writing also appears on Tinseltownnewsnow.net, Internationalfilmreview.net, Stillstoked.com and the Book Yoga Retreats blog.
