Teaching Experience

Laurie has been teaching since 1999.  She first started teaching at her place of employment in Mountain View, CA and progressed north to the YMCA in San Mateo.  Soon studios in San Francisco were asking her to teach in their studios.  In 2005 Laurie was called back to New Hampshire.  She eventually began teaching around the Seacoast at Dover Yoga, The Works, Strafford County YMCA and Wells Adult Education Center.  In 2009 Laurie's practice and teachings took her to Rishikesh, India to deepen her studies.  When she returned to the states Laurie moved to New Jersey and began her "seva" volunteer self service at Golden Bridge Yoga in New York City.  Laurie was called back to New Hampshire officially making the state her home.  She is currently teaching private classes and group classes in Rochester and Wakefield.
