Lara
Lara teaches Vinyasa Power Yoga, Shakti Flow, Bikram Yoga, Yoga Sculpt, and Pre-natal yoga to name a few. Growing up, she studied martial arts for over 10 years. At the age of 18, she started her massage therapy and personal training career.
After graduating from Stephens College for Musical Theater, Literature and Biology, she moved to Asia. For 5 years, she worked in many countries around Asia to deepen her knowledge of massage modalities, labor assistance and martial arts. It was there she truly awakened her desire to study yoga and all its wonders.
When she returned to America, she continued her medical training to extend her knowledge of the body, body mechanics and the anatomy of movement. This was also the time she began her studies with many 'gurus', including her extensive training and assisting with Baron Baptiste.
Over the years, Lara has deepened her yoga by studying Shakti Flow with Shiva Rea, Anusara Training with John Friend, and Forrest training with Ana Forrest. Lara is continually inspired to continue her studies with these teachers as well as Richard Freeman, Rusty Wells, Seane Corne, Tias Little.
Through her 15 years as a yogini and over 19 years as a massage therapist and Doula, she has gained a unique understanding of the body. Lara loves the mind-body-spirit connection and how yoga brings them into consciousness.
