500 hour Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance
In 1983 Lori attended the University of Connecticut, working in a health food restaurant, where her boss/mentor brought her to her first yoga class! From the age of 17 until now, yoga has been an anchor for Lori. An anchor for healthy living, healthy thinking, healthy feeling.
Lori’s primary yoga community in the last few decades has been Hot Yoga Olympia, Gravity Yoga (Lori’s studio 2016-2020) and True Self Yoga! She completed her yoga teacher training with Great Heart Yoga at the renowned Yoga Loft which was beautifully perched on Capital Lake in downtown Olympia. In 2016 Lori traveled to Spain to Yogabody to acquire her Aerial Yoga/Yoga trapeze teacher certification. In 2017 she opened a studio for aerial yoga, Gravity Yoga – it thrived until closing during Covid. After having practiced Hot Yoga for over 18 years, Lori decided to pursue an apprenticeship to teach Hot Yoga with Vajra at TSY in 2023. And in the Winter of 2024 Lori attended Trueself Yoga 300 hour Teacher Training.
After a 40 year career as a carpenter/contractor and experiencing life as a householder, single mother raising twins, Lori feels inspired, to share her experience and yogic perspective with her clients, students, and community.
