Laura VanDenBergh

Practicing since she was 8 years old with her mom, Laura's yoga styles have varied over the years, eventually bringing her to teacher training at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in 2007. She now teaches Hatha, Vinyasa, Restorative, and Kids Yoga - with a free-flowing and lighthearted vibe. Laura likes to get a lot of background from her students so that she can meet them exactly where they are. Sometimes that might mean guiding them deeper into the pose, other times that might just mean helping them connect to their breath. During a class, Laura helps students find their “intelligent edge” —that moment where it’s a push to be challenged, while knowing when it's time to take a breather. She relishes having an open discussion environment, where students feel free to make requests and provide feedback. When not teaching students, Laura is teaching herself and expanding her knowledge with yoga books, workshops and videos.
