My yoga journey began in 2008 when I started to practice with yoga DVDs with the hope of getting rock hard abs. Since then, my practice has evolved to the point where I don’t care about rock hard abs, and genuinely see how a regular yoga practice makes life better.
I am influenced by Power yoga, Forrest yoga, Vinyasa and Hatha styles. In 2015 I earned my 200-hour yoga teacher training foundation course from Urban Breath in St. Louis, Missouri. As I began to explore my voice as a teacher, I took on an additional 300-hour Hatha yoga training in Rishikesh, India in 2017.
I hope to encourage others to discover the benefits of yoga and critically think about its role in modern times. In every class, I hope to connect students to their breath, movement, and the power that this awareness can create.
For me, yoga is all about self inquiry, exploration and practice. Practice doesn’t make perfect- it just makes better.
In addition to teaching yoga, I also enjoy writing about it. Please check out some of my work on the publications page.
I hope to practice with you in the future and explore yoga- together.
Warmly,
Laura
