I began my journey of self discovery in 1990 when I turned to yoga to help relax my body and mind. I studied Integral Yoga at the Satchidananda Ashram in Virginia and began teaching in 1994. I have continued my studies through master teachers such as Roger Cole, Rodney Yee, and Brian Kest. I recently completed a 200 hour Yoga Alliance certification in Power Vinyasa Yoga with Dolly Stavros. I have been teaching through Northwestern Technical College for 9 years, Clear Spring Yoga for 7 years and have recently founded Moon Haven Studio, a Holistic Center for Women offering Yoga, Dance, Meditation, and Healing. My passion is helping to empower others to find a healthier, happier, and more fulfilled life. “Lori’s nurturing spirit is weaved throughout each class.” I am available for group classes and private consultations. “I hope to help you awaken to yourself and I am honored to share a part of this journey with you.”
