About Me
Yoga found me more than 20 years ago.
It helped me to heal on many different layers
(and continues to do so).
The more I explore this beautiful practice,
the better I get to know myself
and adapt kindly and compassionately to
the changes that move through me.
I invite students to embrace
themselves in this way too.
This inspired me to dive deeper and complete
my 200 hour YTT with Leanne Kitteridge
of Shibui Yoga in 2014.
I continue to practice, study and take
many workshops and training including
Yin Yoga, Private Client with Lauren Roegele,
Restorative with Kim Sheridan
and many trainings with Natalie Rousseau.
My practice and teaching has been also influenced
by Nicole Marcia who offered her knowledge
in Trauma Informed Practices.
In 2022, I Completed 300 hour YTT with
Janet Stone and
50 hour Pranayama & Respiratory Sciences
with Julia McCabe.
I am eternally grateful for
these teachers and so, so many more that
have helped guide me on my journey.
Testimonials
I can’t say enough about Laura as a yoga instructor. She has done an amazing job with our seniors yoga group over the past few years. How far we have progressed is so impressive and we are doing things we once thought impossible. Laura is so encouraging and works with us, accommodating our “can’t do it” areas rather than pushing us past our abilities. She also spends extra time on “age appropriate “ poses such as balancing poses and poses that help with back pain issues. She starts out each class with an inspirational reading and a gentle progression of poses. The class is not too serious- we are not afraid to laugh at ourselves but are very supportive of each other. Laura works hard to maintain a positive atmosphere in the class. I highly recommend her as a yoga instructor.

Laura is a teacher with such devotion to her students and deep rooted understanding of the benefits of yoga. She is always and foremost a student herself, which gives her the ability to see and feel how her students are experiencing her teachings. Blessed is anyone who has the opportunity to practice with Laura. I'm one of those people and am truly blessed. Sandra Cavan Yoga Teacher
Laura’s calm yet fun loving spirit drew me in when I first started attending her classes. I love that she challenges us, yet always reminds us to listen to, and honour, the body we came with on that particular day. Through Laura’s guidance I have grown to love yoga more than I imagined I would. As time has passed I have come to know Laura as a friend and her gentle kindness fills my heart. Her yoga classes along with her words of wisdom and inspiration have helped me on my journey of healing more than words can ever express. Debbie Knelson
