Yoga Teacher • High Priestess • Shaman •Trauma Awareness Coach •Christ Consciousness Healer

 

Leeanna Silva is a gifted teacher, healer, seer, and spiritual guide who brings over a decade of experience to her yoga practice and teachings. As a high priestess and shaman, Leeanna offers a unique blend of movement, breathwork, and energetic wisdom rooted in both ancient traditions from around the world and her own cultural lineage.

Drawing on global healing arts as well as the spiritual and ancestral influence of her families island they call home Cabo Verde, Leeanna’s classes are deeply intuitive, ceremonial, and transformative. She holds sacred space for students to explore not just the body, but the unseen realms of the mind, soul, and heart.

For Leeanna, yoga is not just a practice—it’s a way of remembering who we are.

The Mission: Liberation Through Embodiment

Leeanna believes that healing is not about fixing—we are not broken. Rather, it is about remembering: remembering our sacredness, our divine connection, and our right to live freely in our bodies and truth.

Her mission is to guide others home to themselves—through movement, energy, breath, and sacred practice—so that each soul may live a life rooted in love, liberation, and divine remembrance.

"I teach to help others deeply connect to themselves. Whether that be through movement, breath, or teaching the skills of higher awareness, to feel connected to the body, mind, and soul is the art of yoga and the beauty of life. We can learn values on the mat to be practiced off the mat. That’s the beauty of yoga."

Through her teaching, Leeanna invites students into a sacred journey—where healing is personal, but never solitary, and where the lessons of the mat ripple outward into every part of life.​​

“Love is a direction, not a state.” – Simone Weil

Yoga, for me, is all about life enhancement and presence. And like Weil’s idea of love, yoga is a direction, not a destination: yoga accommodates you wherever you are in life.

I first experienced yoga in a Honolulu Iyengar class in 2007, and since then, I’ve explored many complementary styles and practices before and after completing my 200-hour Hatha Yoga Certification in Portland, Oregon. I received my first attunement in Usui Reiki (a type of Japanese energy healing) in 2011 and my second attunement in Usui Holy Fire in 2024. In that span of time, I’ve taken Bharatanatyam dance classes, Deeksha under the full moon, Chöd guided by a Tibetan monk, Ashtanga, Anusara, Kundalini, Jiva Mukti, Yin, yoga nidra, aerial yoga, ecstatic dance, and many versions of Hatha yoga on my path to developing the style of yoga I practice and teach called AUMREI Yoga Reiki–yoga, Reiki, and meditation combined in a powerful session of presence. 

At Saipan Yoga Collective, I teach weekly sessions called Aligned & Alive. In each session, we cultivate Presence through breath and awareness, explore alignment in static poses, and express that alignment as form-in-motion through vinyasa—an intentional sequence of poses—before finishing with a Reiki-infused shavasana. You will also develop an ear for both the Sanskrit and English names of poses in these sessions. 

When I’m not teaching yoga, I am probably reading food, travel and philosophy essays, listening to ambient and electronic music, and drinking black iced coffee. You can find me on instagram @aumrei.yoga.reiki or my blog insearchoflostpresence on substack.
