Laura’s journey into Yoga started 10 years ago and typically focused on Asanas (the physical aspect of the practice). Seeking out Yoga in each country that she lived in she began to develop an awareness and appreciation of the inner peace that it ultimately brings into life. In 2008 she travelled to India where she completed her first TTC in the Sivananda ashram, in Kerala, where she would end up spending 8 months; an experience that opened her up to the study of scriptures, Kirtan, Karma Yoga, as well as teaching Asana. Her belief that we as teachers must continually evolve and learn, once again led her to Mysore, India where in June 2011 she completed her Ashtanga Yoga training with her teacher Ajay Kumar. This included an in depth study of the Ashtanga yoga system as well as learning safe adjustment techniques for students with all levels of practice. As outlined by the Holy Sage Patanjali in the Yoga Sutras. Made clear in the 8 steps of Ashtanga Yoga; Asana practice is just one element in the path to purification. The Asanas practiced in the Primary series involve synchronizing the breath with postures which produce intense internal heat and a purifying sweat that detoxifies muscles and organs. The result is improved circulation, a light and strong body, and a calm mind. In class the sequence is followed with special attention paid to Breath, Banda and Dhrishti. Multiple adjustments by the teacher also allow the student to go further in their practice and gain deeper awareness.
