Laura took her first yoga classes in 1996, but it wasn't until 2000 that her heart led her to a regular practice.  In 2002, she had the great blessing of finding Anusara Yoga^®, an uplifting style of hatha yoga that combines precise alignment instruction with a life-affirming philosophy that is ultimately a celebration of the heart.

Since finding Anusara Yoga, Laura made the journey into teaching and is honored to have studied with many great Anusara Yoga teachers, including Anusara Yoga founder, John Friend, Sianna Sherman, Naime Jezzeny, Sue Elkind, Todd Norian, Ann Greene, Amy Ippoliti, and many others.  On May 7, 2009, Laura became the first certified Anusara Yoga teacher in Indiana, through one of the most rigorous yoga certification programs.  She is also a Registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance at the 500 hour level.

In late 2005, Laura returned to her home town of Indianapolis from Cincinnati where she was an active part of the Anusara Yoga kula (community of the heart).  During the day, Laura works as a Senior Environmental Manager for the Indiana Department of Environmental Management.  Laura is currently living in Carmel with her beautiful daughter, Annabella, who is Laura's biggest inspiration.

Anusara Yoga has shifted her life in many positive and tremendous ways, revealing more strength, beauty, and joy in her life.  She is excited to expand this beautiful practice in the Indianapolis community.  She wishes to honor her teachers by offering even a small taste of her experiences.
