Your Trainer
Laurel is a yoga teacher and teacher trainer for YogaWorks in New York City. Her classes are an even synthesis of breath-centered flow and precise alignment instruction informed by her studies under the guidance of Jenny Aurthur and Carrie Owerko. Through weaving anatomy awareness and yoga philosophy into her classes, Laurel explores the interplay of yoga postures, biomechanics, and The Yoga Sutras. An inquisitive being at heart, Laurel encourages herself and her students to seek answers to questions such as: how do superficial aspects of our bodies relate to deeper aspects of our minds, how can discipline be playful and playfulness be disciplined, and how can we learn to be more intrepidly open to reality and the present moment.
