Leslie Van Bell has been teaching yoga on Long Island since 2008. She is passionate about helping people fully embrace the practice of yoga, and have fun while they are doing it.

Leslie teaches FLOW, an energizing vinyasa class designed to help people access their inner strength. She loves to weave in the teachings of yoga into each class, making sure the practice is never just about the poses. She curates a class that allows people to access the tools they need to build inner and outer strength. Leslie loves to share that sometimes the greatest measure of strength comes in our ability to rest and surrender.

When you take Leslie’s classes, you can expect a creative, engaging vinyasa flow with loving assists and inspiration that lasts beyond rolling up your mat.

Leslie is the cohost of the Stronger Together podcast, and co-led yoga teacher trainings for 8 years. She is also a special education and mindfulness teacher at Mineola Middle School. Leslie lives in East Northport with her husband, 2 sons and their dog. She is incredibly grateful to serve the community that she calls home!

Melissa Trentadue is a local mama and is in love with the healing aspects of yoga and its ability to transform the heart, mind, body and soul. Inspired by her deep love of poetry, music, yogic philosophy and breath, Melissa strives to create a blissful and soulful class for all the beautiful humans who come her way. 

Having studied at Laughing Lotus Yoga Center in NYC under the direction of Dana Flynn, each class is not just a physical devotion within our bodies, but a spiritual dance and journey on the mat. After years of teaching vinyasa flow, Melissa has advanced her studies with her long-time teacher and mentor, Elena Brower, and is honored to have completed the Art of Attention advanced teacher training with Elena at VIRAYOGA. Melissa taught in NYC for 10+ years before coming back home to Long Island with her young family & dogs and rooting herself at Breathe Strength.

Melissa teaches from her soulful heart, offering assists, language and beauty to open the bold heart and dive into our layers, letting out the freedom and softness from within.
