Growing up on 18 acres of expansive Maine mountain forest opened Lori's body, mind, and soul. She brings that connection to the Source into all her yoga teachings, weaving together creative asana sequences that build awareness and strength both inside and out. Lori creates the space to turn your yoga mat into your playground for risk-taking, your laboratory for self-exploration, and your spiritual touchstone to get grounded and centered again.

Lori began her yogic journey in 1995 while earning her BFA in Dance at Emerson College. She received her 200 Hour Certification and Prenatal Certification in 2004 at New York Yoga where she studied with Govinda Kai, David Hollander, and Michael Gilbert, and Gina Menza.

This summer Lori is completing her 500 Hour Certification at Sonic Yoga in a Shiva Rea program. She will then be a certified Prana Flow teacher. Prana Flow is Shiva Rea's style of embodying the flow and experiencing prana, the universal source of breath, life-energy and conscious intelligence- as the navigating source of yoga practice and vital living.

This fall Lori continues her epic education into the world of vinyasa by studying with Kula Flow and Wanderlust founder Schuyler Grant and earning another 75 Hours in Advanced Level Kula Style, graduating from the School of Kula Rock with an Advanced Level Certification in Kula Flow. Rock on!

- Christopher Hildebrant with whom she studied the Yoga Sutras
- Kaustab Desikichar with whom she studied Krishnamacharya's classical style of Vinyasa Yoga
