Hi Im Laura- a Yoga Therapist with over 15 years of experience working in Healthcare, Wellness, and Rehabilitation.

My education as an Occupational Therapist combines with my deep study of yoga to bring together modern science-based approaches with ancient wisdom.

My goal is to share the tools of yoga in a way that is practical & effective, so you can feel a greater sense of ease and connection in your daily life.

Virtual Sessions allow for the greatest accessibility- You can practice with me from the comfort of your own hOMe!

Teacher Mentoring & Continuing Education

My style is a blend of gentle/therapeutic vinyasa, restorative, and Kundalini Yoga. I also incorporate breathwork, meditation, lifestyle medicine, and philosophy for a comprehensive approach to yoga.

The special populations I work with include individuals living with:

Parkinson's Disease and neurological conditions

Lymphedema and Breast Cancer

Anxiety, Depression and Mood Challenges

In addition to my education as an Occupational Therapist, I have worked as a Massage Therapist and a Certified Lymphedema Therapist. I am certified in LSVT BIG for Parkinsons' & have over 8 years of experience working in a specialty clinic for those living with Parkinson's Disease.

I deeply believe that the tools of yoga can be used to benefit everyone in some way. It is my life's work to help you to discover what gifts yoga can bring into your life!

Laura is a certified yoga therapist and meditation teacher based in rural Northern Florida.  Her practice began over two decades ago as a way to bring balance to a rigorous school schedule. 

Her experience as a yoga teacher evolved in parallel to her career as a therapist. After completing her B.A. in Psychology Laura went on to earn a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy. The result is a style of teaching that blends mind-body science with the eight limbs of yoga. 

Over 15 years as an Occupational Therapist, Laura utilized mindfulness, breath work, and movement in her patients’ treatment plans.  At the same time, the clinical goals of functional movement, healing, and nervous system regulation were infused in her yoga offerings.

Kundalini yoga came into Laura’s life during a particularly challenging time.  The powerful movements, breath, and mantra offered a profound experience of spaciousness and freedom. She went on to become certified in a modern, trauma-informed approach to this transformational practice. 

A forever student, Laura is training in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction and continues to dive deeper into yoga philosophy as a way to fully engage with the challenges & joys of being human.  When not on her yoga mat, Laura is outside camping, hiking, and exploring the natural world. Her most recent adventure is starting a regenerative farm

Laura strives to create a practice space that facilitates self-awareness and healing in a way that is pragmatic and rooted in compassion.

Kosha-Based Therapeutic Meditation:

In yoga philosophy, humans are made of 5 interconnected layers (Koshas):

Physical Layer

Energy Layer,

Mental & Emotional Layer,

Wisdom Layer, and

Bliss Layer.

Our Sunday Evening Therapeutic Meditation practice uses the Koshas as a framework to bring awareness and self-care to each of your layers.

This approach is especially beneficial to students who struggle with traditional meditation techniques!
