"LauraNidra is Fantastic!"
Review of LauraNidra Yoga, August 13, 2009
Laura brings her incredible presence to light and to life in her classes. She is creative and modern in her approach, while honoring the time tested traditions of yoga. You can expect a dynamic and fluid asana portion of the practice combined with thought provoking/insightful/inspirational bits of wisdom, prose and or poetry topped off with breath work and traditional chants. Laura is extremely attentive as an instructor, offering a wealth of guidance and alignment/adjustment for all students in the classes I've attended.

Review of LauraNidra Yoga, August 12, 2009
I went to my first Yoda Nidra class a few years ago in Greenlake and Laura was the instructor. The class was amazing! Since then I have followed her to different studios, most recently at Taj Yoga in Ballard. I truly believe that Yoga Nidra is one of the best forms of de-stressing in this busy world. I have also taken Laura's other yoga classes and really enjoyed them. Experienced and beginner students alike would really enjoy and benefit from her classes, her instruction is clear and her voice is very soothing. I would highly recommend attending one of her yoga classes!
