Laura • @laurajervidalo

I have been practicing yoga my whole life from my mothers belly. I grew up in a yoga school in Copenhagen and practicing yoga was always a natural part of living life. Growing up yoga practice was a way to find balance and calmness in everyday life activities and challenges.

After moving to NYC in 2015 I met teachers Yoshio Hama and Sri Dharma Mittra that inspired me tremendously to be able to share this ancient, beautiful, life-supportive practices. I started to teach because I want to serve my community and share the knowledge discovered in my own journey. In the physical aspect Ifocus on the relationship between strength and flexibility to balance the body, but just as importantly how overall through  incorporating all eight-limbs of Yoga it holistically support longevity in outer and inner health. Balancing the physical, sets the body for stillness, silence and creates the preparation for deeper discoveries in more subtle parts, encouraging sensitivity and heightened enjoyment of existence. I hope to help my students to a deeper understanding of their inner Self.

Laura has fulfilled advanced teacher training in Dharma Yoga, Rocket Vinyasa Yoga and Backbend, reaching over 1000 hours of certified teacher training.
