The focus is on self-care and healthy movement. She helps us to focus inward on where we are at the moment and then teaches us to move in ways to strengthen and heal.

“The classes feel relaxed and non-competitive. She makes sure that everyone knows that modifications are available to fit individual needs. She is very professional and patient especially with beginners but also provides options for more advanced participants.”

“Laura is a wonderful teacher who is sensitive to the needs of her students. She actively encourages students to listen to their bodies. She offers ways to modify poses so that regardless of ability or experience a student is able to get the most benefit from each pose. I love Hoop Asana, her teaching is super centering and playful at the same time. I love being in her class - it feels safe and encouraging. Laura also has a very soothing voice, I know that sounds silly, but she understands how to use her voice to guide you as well as, when silence is needed. After I leave her yoga classes, I feel like a her light has made my day brighter.”
