“When I invited Laura to teach an IFS and LifeForce Yoga 5-day program at Kripalu Retreat Center, I had no idea how her generous spirit would make such a difference to me and our participants.
Her open heart and authenticity drew our community together. Her advanced preparation and ability to connect and communicate with calm presence made her an outstanding teacher. She stayed fully present to the volunteer clients, as she demonstrated two clinical sessions that brought the group to tears. I loved teaching with Laura and look forward to our next opportunity to teach together!”
