Toyoteriyaki Yoga and Meditation

To all whom considering yoga, This was my first ever yoga session ever and I must say Laura was the ideal instructor I had in mind for my first session. I didn't know what to expect besides hearing that it's hard. I want to start off by saying my experience was second to none. I haven't witnessed any other instructors but I am 101% positive I dont want to nor need to. I had the greatest experience. I left there smiling and calling my friends telling them how great it was and how I am anxious to go back and continue from here forward. Laura is well educated in the field and provided knowledge that I believe we as athletes would think we know but we dont. She worked with my lack of flexibility and ability to do certain things but I never felt as if she was frustrated. Her instruction is very informative. She is also one of the nicest people you could meet. We talked as if we been knowing each other. Laura not only have a client but a friend in me and I will seek her every chance I get. Last but not least she is very easy to work with and very considerate as far as payments for her clients. I stand tall and give Laura a 5 star salute. V/r Coach Derrail

Laura contacted me right away. She wanted to know what we wanted to achieve through yoga and is tailoring in home classes to achieve these goals. She is very upbeat and encouraging. We have had one class with her so far and are looking forward to the next. She seems genuinely interested in making our experience with yoga a very positive one. I am very happy!

Laura was very knowledgeable and helpful! I enjoyed my first session and look forward to continue practice with her. She was easy to talk to and understood what I wanted to get from the training well.

Laura provides a knowledge base about how we may generate a trauma focused yoga program here on the Pine Ridge Reservation with Oglala Lakota Children's Justice Center. Laura also does intentional follow up to ensure our goals are being met.

Laura is very knowledgeable on anatomy. I really like how she applies it to the sequences of the poses. She really takes her time to explain in depth what we are trying to accomplish in a pose and with her knowledge of anatomy, she gets you really deep in a pose with creative usage of props. I have learned to express a pose to it’s full potential through her class much differently than other classes. Her classes are very unique and I learn something different every time.
