Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot

​

A 6-Session Program to Spot, Stop, and Survive Stalking & Harassment

Practical safety training + trauma-informed yoga to help you recognize grooming, protect your boundaries, and build real-world safety plans.

 

​

 Book Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot for Your Studio/Organization

Why Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot?

Predators don’t just “appear.” They groom. They test boundaries. They find places where trust is high and oversight is low gyms, yoga studios, after-school programs, camps, even senior homes, and in everyday business and companies.

​

 

Here’s the truth:

 

Most yoga studios misclassify teachers as independent contractors, leaving huge safety and liability gaps.

 

Gyms may hire on W-2s, but managers aren’t trained to spot predatory patterns.

 

Free “volunteers” often slip through without background checks or accountability.

​

 

 

These blind spots create the perfect playground for predators.

 

Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot was built to change that.

Wolf Watch Community Access Fund

Wolf Watch isn’t just a six-session safety training, it’s a community lifeline.

 

The Wolf Watch Community Access Fund makes it possible for people who are healing from trauma, financial abuse, stalking, harassment, or chronic stress to access all the offerings at CoyDog Botanicals & Yoga… not just Red Flag Riot.

 

Because healing doesn’t happen in one place.

It happens over time, in community, through nervous-system repair, movement, grounding, and connection.

 

Your donation helps people access:

​

Yoga Classes at CoyDog Botanicals & Yoga

Gentle grounding, flow, strength, mobility — all trauma-informed and accessible.

 

Sound Baths & Special Events

For deep rest, nervous system reset, and emotional regulation.

 

Workshops, Programs & Group Fitness

Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot Training

Scholarships for the 6-session program for those who cannot afford it.

 

Community Outreach & Launching WolfWatch in Gyms & Studios

Your support helps bring Wolf Watch into community centers, yoga studios, shelters, schools, and gyms — places that desperately need this training but don’t have the budget to bring it in.

​

Your donation helps create and sustain safe, trauma-informed spaces across Central Massachusetts, places where survivors can practice yoga, attend sound baths and workshops, and participate in Wolf Watch programs without financial barriers. Your support helps us bring weekly classes and healing experiences into Worcester, Hudson, Marlborough, and beyond

 

This fund is how we make sure people can get care, safety, and empowerment without finances being the barrier.

Meet Leslii Stevens 

I’m Leslii Stevens ERYT500, YACEP — yoga teacher, trauma-informed trainer, Ayurveda practitioner, Sound Bath practitioner, and the founder of Studio23 and CoyDog Botanicals & Yoga.

 

I’ve spent years teaching yoga, working in gyms, yoga studios and advocating for safer spaces. I’ve also lived through trauma myself and I know what it feels like when organizations fail to protect people.

 

Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot is my way of giving communities the tools they need to spot the patterns, close the gaps, and stop predators before harm escalates.

 

I don’t just teach yoga. I teach awareness. I teach prevention. And I teach people how to protect themselves and each other.

Testimonials for Wolf Watch Red Flag Riot

​

Domestic Violence Survivor

"Leslii’s program gave me something I didn’t even realize I was missing tools to actually see the patterns before they escalated. For years I thought what happened to me was just my fault. In Wolf Watch, I learned how grooming works, how to spot the red flags, and how to trust my instincts again. The yoga portion helped me reconnect with my body in a safe way. I finally feel like I can breathe again."

 

Sexual Assault Survivor

"I’ve taken other workshops, but Leslii’s was the first where I felt completely understood. Her knowledge of trauma is deep, but she explains it in a way that feels human and relatable. She doesn’t sugarcoat the hard stuff, but she also shows you that healing and strength are possible. Because of this program, I feel safer moving through the world."

 

Stalking Survivor

"When I was being stalked, I felt like I was crazy that nobody believed me. In this program, I not only felt believed, but I learned exactly how stalking behaviors escalate. Leslii gave me language I could use with my HR department, my friends, and even the police. That education made all the difference. I went from isolated and terrified to empowered and prepared."

 

Yoga Student in Trauma-Informed Class

"I’ve practiced yoga for years, but Leslii’s trauma-informed approach is different. She creates a space where you don’t have to pretend. Her metaphors, her humor, and her deep understanding of the body made me feel safe and strong again. For the first time, yoga wasn’t about flexibility it was about healing."

 

Parent of Teen Participant

"My daughter and I signed up for Wolf Watch after she had some uncomfortable experiences online. Leslii taught her not just to recognize red flags, but to speak up and trust her gut. As a parent, I can’t put a price on that. My daughter walked away more confident and aware, and I walked away grateful knowing she has tools to protect herself."

 

Organizational Leader (Gym/Studio)

"Bringing Leslii in for Wolf Watch was one of the best decisions we made. She opened our staff’s eyes to things we had been overlooking. The grooming and red flag education alone was worth it, but she also gave us practical steps to strengthen policies and protect our community. Every gym and studio needs this program."

THE NARCISSIST IN COURT 

By Leslii Stevens ERT500, YACEP, Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher

 

If you ever find yourself walking into a courtroom with a narcissist on the other side, buckle up. This isn’t just a court case, it’s a full-on battle for your life, your sanity, your truth. A narcissist doesn’t show up to “resolve” anything; they show up to win by any shady, slimy, underhanded tactic they can conjure. They are pathological liars with the ability to deliver an Oscar-worthy performance on command. In a courtroom, a narcissist becomes one of the most venomous, dangerous opponents you’ll ever face.

 

And the cases? Oh, they come in all flavors:

 

Criminal proceedings where you’re the victim of their chaos.

 

Divorce proceedings, where property and money suddenly become weapons.

 

Custody cases, the most painful battlefield of them all.

 

Proceedings over what they owe you, money, property, or anything they’ve conveniently “forgotten.”

 

 

If it’s divorce, watch how they walk in cool, calm, collected, like they’re the damn Dalai Lama in a tailored suit, meanwhile you’ve been ground down, worn out, broken open by months or years of their madness. Of course you look stressed. Of course your confidence has taken hits. That’s what living with a narcissist does.

 

Here’s the move: Do not talk to them. Do not look at them. Find a quiet corner, find a private room, find a damn broom closet if you have to. Keep yourself away from them and their flying monkeys so they can’t rattle you or drain your energy before you even step foot in front of a judge.

 

And yes, most people fear the same thing: What if they manipulate the court? What if people believe their lies? This is why your lawyer must actually understand Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Not kinda. Not sorta. Fully. Because a lawyer who doesn’t get the dynamics will get manipulated, and suddenly you’re being advised to “settle” when your gut is screaming HELL NO.

 

They’ve pushed you to your limits, but once you hit the courtroom, it’s your turn. Narcissists unravel fast when the spotlight burns too hot. Catch them in a lie, and their rage pops like a faulty firecracker. Their mask slips. Their lawyer will scramble like they’re trying to hold back a rabid animal, good luck with that. And yes, the narcissist has likely hidden assets, moved money, tucked things away. That’s their standard playbook.

 

You can break a narcissist in court, but you have to be prepared like your life depends on it. Your evidence must be irrefutable, undeniable, supported, solid. Don’t give them alternate explanations they can twist. A skilled lawyer can ask the right questions in the right tone and dismantle their ego without ever raising a voice. Something like:

 

“I’m led to believe you’re quite knowledgeable. What’s your highest academic qualification?

Oh… you don’t have one?”

​

Just like that. Their inflated self-image cracks, and suddenly their fragile ego is bleeding all over the courtroom floor.

 

Physically position yourself away from them. Don’t give them your eyes, not even once. Ignoring a narcissist is like pouring salt on their wound. They hate being invisible more than anything.

 

Remember: they genuinely believe they’re above the law. In their mind, they outrank everyone, including the judge. The idea that someone might actually hold them accountable is outrageous to them. And anyone who testifies against them? Automatically labeled corrupt, lying, out to get them.

 

Don’t react to anything they say or do. Nothing. No eye roll, no smirk, no sigh. They know where your buttons are, and they’ll try to slam every single one. Your job is to meet every attempt with pure, ice-cold indifference.

 

It’s hard to explain to a court how bad a narcissist’s behavior can truly be, but don’t worry, most of the time they reveal it themselves. Their fury, their entitlement, their unraveling, it leaks out, and the court sees it.

 

And your job?

Tell the truth. Just the truth. Don’t embellish, don’t exaggerate, don’t play their game or sink to their level. Stand in your integrity. That’s where your power is.

 

You don’t need theatrics. The narcissist will provide plenty of that.
