A space for healing and discovery

Laura is a yoga teacher and birth doula based in Durham, North Carolina and has been teaching yoga since the spring of 2020. Laura earned her Bachelor's degree in Behavioral Neuroscience in 2018 from Connecticut College, along with a Certificate in Public Policy and Community Action from the Holleran Center.

In addition to teaching yoga Laura works as a birth doula and serves families throughout the local RTP area. 

 

Laura first discovered yoga about 20 years ago, and practiced on and off until she dove deep into her practice in 2015 following the passing of her sister. Her practice allowed her to heal from her grief while giving her the expansion to explore her capacity. Using her extensive understanding of the human body and psyche, she works to bring ease and mobility to the body through a creative movement practice, to provide a balance between strength and flexibility.

 

Laura helps to guide each student to find their own path of unfurling and healing, by linking breath to movement to ground into the sensations of their body, while finding space for playful and creative movement. She is honored to share space with each student who takes her classes, and looks forward to walking alongside you in your healing journey.
