laurieG, *ryt500
so grateful for the gift of this practice on my path...
this practice which continuously blesses me with the remembrance
of that which is most meaningful. this practice which transforms the way i exist
in relationship to life in each moment in the most subtle and profound ways...
this practice which reveals to me that which has been concealed but never lacking...
i practice to dip into the stillness in the very center of me;
to thoroughly enjoy and savor the gift of each breath,
to realign myself physically enabling the
fullness of life and love to flow
through me unencumbered
this practice is a gift, a doorway, divine alchemy....
i feel blessed to share in it’s exploration with you.
from the depths of her heart, laurieG
is profoundly grateful for the Dharma studies, meditation, and movement practices which ground, open, and inspire her. she has been sharing the gift of these practices with students in one-on-one experiences, group classes, workshops for more than a decade.
laurieG’s creatively sequenced classes are guided in an ever*evolving organic flow seeking to restore the body’s natural alignment and the fullness of the breath. she consciously creates a sacred space for practitioners to calm the waves of the mind and honor guidance from within. her one*on*one work provides clients with the tools they need to live more comfortably in their bodies on and off the mat. proceeds donated from her monthly candle-lit, live music*filled Moon Flow & Glow Gatherings have provided thousands of dollars to numerous local causes. her sunset sessions on the beach and summer rooftop flows are magic.
her life and work are rooted in her studies of Dharma through the Asian Classics Institute and the Yoga Studies Institute, with her precious Teacher and Guide, Lama Lobsang Chunzom. She studies harmonium and receives private vocal instruction with Mala Balkaran through the Kalavant Center for Music and Dance.
She is a certified teacher of ISHTA Yoga through Yoga Zone, now Yoga Works: the Integrated Science of Hatha (the physical practice of yoga that creates balance), Tantra (the yogic philosophy that recognizes the perfection in all beings), and Ayurveda (the Indian science of healing by bringing the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies into balance). ISHTA blends the flow of Viniyoga, the more vigorous discipline of Ashtanga yoga, and the mindful alignment of Iyengar yoga with breath work and meditation to create a unique practice tailored to each individual's needs.
She is a registered teacher of Yoga Alliance (at the highest level of certification) and received her PreNatal Level I & II Certification through Yoga Works. She is a Level III Certified Radiant Child Yoga Instructor. She has been featured as a yoga instructor for Yoga Weekends at New Age Health Spa (recognized as one of the best retreats in the country). Continuing studies in various traditions inform her work, these along with her own explorations in movement are at the heart of her practice and teaching.
Her wholehearted dedication to promoting the overall well*being of her clients is undeniable and her limitless love for what she does infuses every aspect of her work.
