She was so deeply moved by the intelligence, humor, and innate desire the young men had to improve their conditions through introspective work that she left for South America to study and teach yoga, meditation, and writing, and develop a comprehensive curriculum for incarcerated youth. Leah is currently a teacher and Recreation Program Leader at a correctional facility. She facilitates public and private workshops and yoga lessons and is a reiki master practitioner. Her website (fourminutesaday.org) a reference to her initial commitment to meditate for (at least!) four minutes a day.
Leah Gooch teaches yoga, meditation, writing, and art in order to help individuals approach a deeper awareness of their existence. She offers youth and adults the tools to mitigate frustrations and transmute anger and sadness into positive and creative outcomes. After teaching art in New York City for eight years she facilitated the creation of a mural inside of Crossroads Detention Center in Brooklyn, completed by fifteen justice-involved youth.
