Yoga & Meditation Journal
Laura's journal, The Art of Flow: Mindful Mini Meditations, is a labor of love created during the Pandemic. As her hospital yoga students dealt with fear and anxiety, especially when anticipating upcoming hospital checkups, they become overwhelmed. Thoughts such as: Will the cancer come back? Am I going to catch something else, like COVID, while at the hospital? filled their minds. And of course, all classes were cancelled when the world shut down, and zoom wasn't an option then, due to HIPPA regulations. When a longtime student asked Laura to write down her guided meditations, she had a spark of inspiration to create a bespoke journal filled with her beautiful photography (to give readers the feeling of being on vacation or having a vista), guided & healing meditations, affirmations, and a journal to write down feelings, intentions, and fears to release. Laura's self designed and printed journal sold out of two print runs and currently sells at hospital gift shops, yoga studios, online, and at her retreats. A portion of initial sales went to charities.
Retreats & Private Classes
Laura leads & participates in wellness & creativity retreats that marry her writing & editing experience, yoga, breath work, meditation, and time spent in nature. She is a guest speaker during retreats held at Canyon Ranch Michelin-star resorts. She is also an expert guest speaker on yoga, meditation, and current trends in health and wellness. She will be speaking at a TMMC Miracle of Living event May 21, 2025 titled: "Stress Less, Live Vibrantly. Learn why reducing stress is critical for disease prevention." If you would like to hire Laura to speak an event, or for a private therapeutic, healing yoga session, please reach out! Laura's background as a health and wellness journalist, as well as her experience working with patients recovering from injuries and surgeries, makes her sessions of great benefit for those who may not get access to enough physical therapy, occupational therapy, or lymphatic release therapy - and/or who feel overwhelmed and anxious. Reach out and she can chat with you about your needs and goals.
Since 2012, Laura has been teaching therapeutic yoga classes for hospital patients and those recovering from various surgeries, including breast cancer, knee, back, hip, and neck. She created "yin-yang flow" basic yoga classes that open lymphatic nodes, frozen muscles, and fascia points, to aid in mobility, balance, strength, flexibility, and low-back stability. She includes deep breathing techniques, guided meditation, acupressure points, and flowing restorative poses and heart openers, to reduce anxiety and heighten relaxation. At Torrance Memorial Medical Center (TMMC), she has taught beginner classes for all ages, chair, and pre-natal classes. Laura also is trained in Vinyasa, Hatha, Restorative, and Hot Yoga.
