About Laura:
Laura is an E-RYT 500 International teacher and featured online yoga teacher for Yoga International, Om Stars, Grokker, Yoga Vibes and My Yoga Work. She is a three-time cover model for Yoga Journal Italy, Yoga Journal Singapore and Om Yoga and Lifestyle Magazine, and has been a regular contributor for Yoga Journal USA.
Laura sought out yoga to help combat serious health problems due to a decade of stress and insomnia. She gravitated toward yoga because it reminded her of the similar meditative movement she found when she used to dance. The healing, grounding benefits she received from yoga was so profound that she decided to change the course of her work to help others find the same relief and peace she found through a fluid, meditative vinyasa practice.
Laura teaches smart, creative, well-rounded and intelligently sequenced classes. Her classes are invigorating with a smooth, rhythmic flow. She is adept at catering to different levels and abilities, ensuring that all of her students feel welcome and at ease. Her extensive studies under primary teacher Jason Crandell, and trainings under Shiva Rea, Yoga Works and Senior Iyengar teachers, taught her smart sequencing and precise alignment, as well as the benefit of fluid movement and creativity, all of which influenced her eclectic instruction style.
