When I went to pursue my journey further at the Amrit Yoga Institute I was told how important it is that you don't replace your personal practice with your "teaching practice. In fact how could you? One quickly realizes that you can only teach who you are, meaning without the direct experiences, how do you have anything BUT the ego to teach from. To be a teacher you must be a life-long student. In fact this is the conversation that Laura and I had after class as she so humbly stated, I tell people I am just a "sharer. We are all just sharing our experiences."

What I love about Laura's classes is how thoroughly she describes the modifications and tips for getting the most out of the pose without going too far. It's a physically challenging vinyasa/ashtanga flow but her attention to detail as to where each student is at all along the way allows her to direct you in and out of the poses safely. It's very refreshing and iinspirational to hear your instructor describe their direct experiences instead of just relaying information.
