Laura comes to us from British Columbia, where she has lived most of her life, and is returning to St. John’s with her two beloved dogs and kitty to pursue an MSc in Kinesiology.  Laura first stepped on the mat in 2004 and fell in love with the peace, compassion, and acceptance of self that came with the practice of yoga. As a former figure skater, Laura enjoys the flow and movement that yoga offers, exploring balance, strength, and breath through each pose. Along with the spiritual and mental balance that yoga brings to her life, Laura enjoys the lightness of yoga through playing and exploring new and challenging poses.

Laura’s classes involve playful exploration, dynamic flow, curiosity, detachment from ego, and a theme of self love and non-judgement. Laura completed her 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training at Tandava Yoga in the discipline of Kripalu, and her Acro Yoga Certification through Acro Yoga International.

She enjoys continuing her education through workshops around the country and the USA. Laura believes wholeheartedly in lila, the divine play. She is passionate about community, connection, and the importance of joyous play. She is a movement generalist and loves lyra, hiking, canoeing, strolls with her pooches, and acro yoga! When she’s not moving, she’s travelling for acro festivals; thirsty for play, laughter, and community.

Laura believes that the most important part about yoga is not just the physical practice or the traditional lineage it stems from. Yoga is how we show up in our lives on a day-to-day basis. It’s about being kind to our body, mind and spirit. It’s about connection, community, forgiveness, love, and living authentically.
