Laura Riley – Private Yoga Instruction

This review is long overdue. But I haven’t had as good of a yoga teacher since I went to Laura. I have taken several lessons from Laura in the park. Not only is she an AMAZING yoga instructor, but she has the most calming demeanor of any yoga teacher I have had. She has the perfect balance of energy and relaxation. I feel completely new after ever class I have had with her. Thank you Laura! I highly recommend her for anyone of all levels.

After taking yoga for a few years now — in classes and private lessons, I can say that Laura is definitely my favorite teacher. She strikes that delicate balance between being accessible yet challenging, inspirational yet not preachy, and extremely knowledgeable yet light-​hearted. She brings her own personality to keep things interesting and unexpected. Heartily recommend.

Laura is an awesome yoga instructor! She gives clear instructions so I know what to do in every pose. My body is really tight and she provides excellent adjustments. Her class is the perfect blend of meditation and exercise. I highly recommend her!

I’ve taken a variety of group classes and privates with Laura for the past six years. Not only is she a wonderfully warm and inspirational teacher, but she is very knowledgable about the body. She has worked with me through two different injuries and helped me heal through use of yoga. I have complete confidence in her ability to work with all types of students, be they beginner or advanced. Laura has really been able to challenge me and help me grow my practice in a very supportive environment. I can’t say enough good things about her!

I’ve taken private lessons from Laura for a few years and she’s a wonderful teacher. When I started, I was fairly new to yoga and Laura was good at walking me through the various poses and using descriptions to explain how your body should feel when it’s properly aligned. She’s also amazing at adjustments! Now that I’m more experienced with yoga, I really enjoy taking classes with Laura because she is incredibly encouraging and supportive of students attempting more challenging poses (in my case, with her assistance). It’s also inspiring to see someone who has mastered a variety of challenging poses – maybe one day I’ll get there too! Perhaps most importantly, Laura has a really easygoing, bright personality and it’s a pleasure to have her lead a class. Can’t recommend enough!
