Laurie nardokunst
Bio: My journey with yoga began about 10 years ago when a local gym began offering a yoga class. Frustrated with a gym environment, I joined a yoga studio and it was there I was exposed to the mindfulness of yoga and fell in love with it! As one who looks for growth opportunities, I decided to deepen my practice by completing 200 hr yoga teacher training at Mandala Yoga in 2020. I had just completed a 25 year career as a clinical social worker and felt the mindfulness of yoga would smooth this transition. My personal yoga style is to bring a bit of energetic playfulness into the practice, while focusing on the fundamentals of asanas. I embrace the philosophy of yoga is for “every body” and enjoy offering classes that encourage self-acceptance, confidence, growth, and grounding. I am ever grateful for my teacher, Becky, who keeps me grounded, humble, and in love with yoga!
