About Laurie
Yoga is one of Laurie’s favorite things in the world. It is her path and her passion. She loves to study, question, reflect and share as much as she can.
A self-proclaimed Yoga-mutt, she teaches her students the benefits she’s experienced from Ayurveda and Ashtanga to Kundalini and Vinyasa Krama.
She discovered yoga in 1998 as a wonderful tandem to marathon training.
Today, she believes that yoga can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of age, size or other limitations and has the unique ability to make her classes accessible to all.
Background
Laurie received her Yoga Alliance Hatha Flow Certification from Sonic Yoga (http://www.sonicyoga.com) in New York City with teachers Lauren Hanna and Jonathan Fields. She was then led to study with Dharma Mittra (www.dharmayogacenter.com).
After moving to LA she received her Yoga For Youth Certification with Krishna Kaur and has enjoyed spreading the joy of yoga to at-risk and troubled youth within the city. She is continually inspired by the great teachers that keep coming into her life as well as the hundreds of students she has crossed paths with in New York, Los Angeles and Shanghai, China.

Philosophy
Her sessions use breath and intention as the foundation for living mindfully in the present and proper alignment to open the physical lines of communication throughout the body. Laurie guides movement through each posture to awaken and return to the true and natural self, building strength, power and calm within. Each practice is infused with fun and openness to all possibilities on and off the mat.
