Introduction: If you’re coming here for fitness (body), mind (meditation), or connection (soul), I’m happy to put together a plan that’s right for you! Little bio: I quit my job to pursue my passion. And after 14 years on the east coast, I decided it was time to move to Hawaii, to be closer to family and of course, the beach. For the last 4 years in NYC, I was teaching yoga and training clients. My journey has allowed me to share my practice with a wide range of students from adults and youth in NYC jails to youth on Native American Reservations to working with local youth, studios, resorts, and physical therapist in Hawaii. Personal training/one-on-one yoga sessions are the best way to learn more about the strength you already have and the parts of you we can make even stronger! I’ve been working hard to build my clientele in Hawaii and I’ve learned that my style of functional movement/hatha yoga/geometry is unique and special and I’m so happy to offer my practice to you. I look forward to working with you!

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.

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 listened to what my goals were and tailored an excellent plan to meet those goals while motivating me to stay consistent and to educate myself on nutrition. Each workout was different and focused on what I needed to do to make progress. She has the knowledge and training required to incorporate a variety of exercises. Her enthusiasm for fitness shows. The value for what you get will be worth it as you see results. She was always on time for our sessions and very responsive and supportive of my concerns.

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 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.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is important, it is an investment in your time and mine. Yes, other trainers may be cheaper, but here you get a teacher who is constantly growing and learning more, for you. Your sessions are planned and focused. As I said, it is an investment in you!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first meeting is a FREE call we will talk about your current health, fitness, and goals. We will select short and long term goals and all your sessions will be focused on achieving landmarks over time. From there, a typical session is to start with 5 minutes of breathe work, then 45-50 minutes of movement, and ending with 5-10 minutes of stretching and closing. This set up is fluid based on how you are feeling that day. Know there is homework.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
