We’ll also work a lot on advanced adjustments plus you'll receive 20-hours of anatomy by a renowned physical therapist/yoga enthusiast . More info about the guest teacher will be coming soon!

Laura sought out yoga to help combat serious health problems her body was experiencing as a result of a decade of major stress and insomnia.

Her extensive studies under Jason Crandell and Shiva Rea taught her smart sequencing and the benefit of fluidity, both of which forged her intuitive, spontaneous and eclectic instruction style.
