Laura grew up in the high stress world of classical music and from a young age developed chronic "Type-A" syndrome. Towards the end of high school, she was overwhelmed by college auditions and turned to yoga for the meditative qualities she found in the physical practice. Laura's practice and classes encourage vigorous curiosity. She focuses on balancing strength with flexibility, self-discipline with self-understanding, and technique with creativity. Laura completed her 200 Hour RYT Training with YogaWorks and will finish her 500 RYT Professional Program with YogaWorks in February 2014. She graduated from Northwestern University with a B.M. in Music Performance and is a freelance musician.
