Meet Laurie!
Laurie’s personal mantra is BALANCE - balance on the mat and balance in life. She came to yoga slowly. Initially, it was the physical benefits that kept her coming back; but over time, it was the mental focus and unconscious physical responses each time she came to the mat that really convinced her of the true power of yoga.
Her inspiration for teaching is to make yoga more accessible, especially to those seeing age as a limitation for themselves. As she sees friends and family (and herself) age--She is concerned with the impact of declining mobility. Mobility = freedom, and her quest is to help others maintain this mobility. She offers classes at all levels and makes yoga accessible through modifications to suit each student.
It is a great joy to introduce first time students to yoga and to watch as they see the difference it can make in their lives. She has been an avid yoga practitioner since 2010. Laurie completed her yoga teacher training and 200 hr certification at Blue Sun Yoga in Lake Bluff, IL in 2019
