This year Laura completed a 12-month Ashtanga apprenticeship with Cathy Louise Broda and is now an assistant teacher. She studied Ashtanga in Mysore, India in 2005, and has studied with Sri K Pattabhi Jois in San Francisco and R Sharath Jois in Honolulu. Her initial teacher training was with Yoga Hawaii in 2004.

Laura has a BA in Religion and studied Sanskrit for three years under Professor Rama Nath Sharma at the University of Hawaii. She is committed to teaching yoga responsibly and passionately, while holding true to yoga's rich history and philosophy.
