With years of experience supporting emotional and psychological well-being, Laura believes in the powerful connection between mind and body and the role intentional movement, mindfulness, and self-awareness can play in overall health.
Laura completed her 200-hour yoga teacher training in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon jungle with Moksha Yoga Amazonica, an unforgettable and transformative experience rooted in traditional yoga practices.
