Catch me if you can. From running to surf and yoga, I get my sweat on. I love switching up my workouts to keep me feeling strong and balanced. Acknowledging and listening to my body, and specifically what it needs each day, is so important physically and mentally. I am born and raised in Kovalam beach in a fisherman family, learning the spiritual path from the sea and finding my passion in Yoga in an early age. Yoga is the journey of the self, through the self, to the self. It is confusing, scary, calming, relaxing, and powerful all at the same time. But what is so amazing about it, is that it can be whatever you want it to be. Depending on your mood, what you are searching for that day, your practice will shift. Yoga has taught me to listen to my body, become fearless on my mat & honest in my heart. It is a safe place to show up exactly as you are. Slow steady deep breaths in, long full calm breaths out. Let’s continue this journey. Laura is an Architect turning into Yoga to promote the ancient Indian art of Yoga. Calm and peace will be the energy that she projects.
