Laura Reese

Yoga Instructor

Hello, friends! I’m Laura (she/they) and have been teaching in the beautiful Yoga Sanctuary community since 2020 after completing my 230-hour Holistic Yoga Teacher Training before finishing my 500-hour Advanced Teacher Training and Level 1 Yoga Therapy at Yoga North International SomaYoga Institute in 2024.

I create holistic, trauma-informed yoga classes for all bodies by drawing on my unique background which includes a former career as a fitness professional, a bachelor’s degree in psychology, practicing craniosacral therapy, living with and healing from lifelong chronic illnesses, and an innate, unending curiosity about all things human - body, mind, spirit, and the interconnectedness of all beings. I am passionate about functional movement, conscious breathing, and holding loving space for all to explore coming home to the body through the transformational practices of yoga and somatics.

I am completely filled with joy every time I get to share these practices, and I do so intentionally with an open invitation, gratitude, and unconditional love with all who are willing wherever they are on their paths.
