I was privileged to take my 200 hour teacher training at Kripalu this past year with Laura as one of the assistant/facilitators. She is a gifted, compassionate and loving teacher who generously and endlessly gives of herself in order to further your understanding and knowledge of yoga. Her passion for yoga on and off the mat radiates through her to you and she is truly inspiring!

Better is One's Own Dharma
Though Imperfectly Carried Out
Than the Dharma of Another
Carried Out Perfectly.
Better is Death in the Fulfillment of
One's Own Dharma, for to
Follow the Law of Another
Brings Great Spiritual Peril.

It was an honor to have been part of the Kripalu Teacher Training Program where Laura's constant, steady, and beautiful presence was truly transforming."
