Meet Laurie!

My personal mantra is BALANCE - balance on the mat and balance in life.  I came to yoga slowly. Initially, it was the physical benefits that kept me coming back; but over time, it was the mental focus and unconscious physical responses each time I came to the mat that really convinced me of the true power of yoga.

My inspiration for teaching is to make yoga more accessible especially to those seeing age as a limitation for themselves.  As I see friends and family (and myself) age--I am concerned with theimpact of declining mobility.  Mobility = freedom, and my quest is to help others maintain this mobility. 

I offer classes at all levels and make 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.

I have been an avid yoga practitioner since 2010. I completed my yoga teacher training and 200 hour certification at Blue Sun Yoga in Lake Bluff, IL in 2019.
