About me
Laura is the founder and owner of Mountain Kula Yoga & Director of the Annual Kula Yoga Fest. After a 20 year career in apparel design in the outdoor & ski industry, her love of yoga, ayurveda, and holistic healing led her to launch Mountain Kula Yoga in 2021.
Laura was first introduced to yoga in 2005 while designing technical outerwear at Eastern Mountain Sports in Peterborough, NH. It was there that she learned the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga from former employee and co-worker, Robert Moses. Continuing to deepen her Ashtanga practice she was inspired to pursue teacher training, seeking not only the physical, but the mental and emotional benefits of a yogic lifestyle.
She has studied Ayurveda with Cate Stillman, Heart Centered Leadership and Facilitation via the Spiritual Psychology curriculum of the University of Santa Monica, and took her 300hr YTT from Ashley Turners Yoga.Psyche.Soul teacher training. She continues to deepen into the more subtle practices with the musical Bhakti guidance of Ananda Das, Restorative Yoga & Yoga Nidra training with Katie O’Connell, and Theta Healing w/ Jeffrey Charles Warren.
When not in the studio or on her mat, Laura enjoys time outside walking her pup, being a soccer mom & spending time as a family on skis and bikes with her husband & 2 sons.
