Laura helps people heal so they can contribute to healing the planet.  As Founder of the Green Yoga Association, she spurred a national movement towards Green Yoga studios, inspired thousands to move away from toxic Yoga mats, and produced two major conferences raising awareness about the connections between ecology and Yoga.  In her Yoga teaching, Laura offers open-hearted practice, compassionate acceptance, and soul-nourishment. She encourages students of all levels to care for their own bodies as their first step in caring for the planet.  She is author of The Moon Salutation: Expression of the Feminine in Body, Psyche, Spirit, slated for release in summer 2011.
