Join Laura Burkhart for a workshop designed to help you refine alignment, prevent common injuries, and adapt poses for longevity!
Most yoga injuries are due to common injury prone alignment cues, repetitive stress, going too far with range of motion, forceful hands-on adjustments and how a class is sequenced. “One study found that from 2001 to 2014 yoga related injuries doubled for people between ages 45 and 65 - and increased eightfold for those 65 and older.
This doesn’t mean an asana practice is unhealthy and we should ‘throw the baby out with the bath water”. We get injuries in all kinds of healthy physical modalities such skiing, running, soccer, football, etc. The pluses far out way the cons. It does mean we should move and teach in a wise, thoughtful manner.
During this workshop, you will move through a well-rounded practice focused on refining your alignment especially with injury prone postures, and look at how to work with existing aliments. It’s important to move in a way that minimizes potential injuries and maximizes the longevity of your asana practice.
Learn how to support your body wisely—so you can practice for years to come!

About the Instructor:
Laura is an E-RYT 500 International teacher and featured online yoga teacher for Yoga International, Om Stars, Grokker, Yoga Vibes and My Yoga Work. She is a four-time cover model for Yoga Journal Italy, Yoga Journal Singapore and Om Yoga and Lifestyle Magazine, and has been a regular contributor for Yoga Journal USA.
Laura sought out yoga to help combat serious health problems due to a decade of stress and insomnia. She gravitated toward yoga because it reminded her of the similar meditative movement she found when she use to dance. The healing, grounding benefits she received from yoga was so profound that she decided to change the course of her work to help others find the same relief and peace she found through a fluid, meditative vinyasa practice.
Laura teaches smart, creative, well-rounded and intelligently sequenced classes. Her classes are invigorating with a smooth, rhythmic flow. She is adept at catering to different levels and abilities, ensuring that all of her students feel welcome and at ease. Her extensive studies under primary teacher Jason Crandell, and trainings under Shiva Rea, Yoga Works and Senior Iyengar teachers, taught her smart sequencing and precise alignment, as well as the benefit of fluid movement and creativity, all of which influenced her eclectic instruction style.
