First day back after several years! Amazing!! My body and mind so need to make this part of my regular routine!

Laurie taught me how to breathe. Her teaching has allowed me to be in tune with the most subtle nature of my body. Her teacher training program abides in the true nature of yoga where there is no separation from yoga philosophy to physical asana practice…. as a result of training with laurie, my mind and body have fallen into a loving absorption with yoga. Having a ready mind for training with laurie will allow the real nature of yoga, in its own essential form, to deepen your practice for life. After completing my teacher training with laurie and deepening my own practice, I have myself transformed into a teacher with the awareness and readiness necessary to instruct any student who walks into class- regardless of experience level, background, age, or condition… and now I find myself able to teach others how to become stronger in the breath, the body, and the mind. Having Laurie as your yoga-guide will assist you on your way to mastering the ability to focus on the smallest to the largest points of focus too…. and then to help others to do the same!

I have been practicing with Laurie 10+ years and I still think I learn something new every time I take her class.  Her knowledge of anatomy and application of kinesiology shows through in her well thought out sequences. What I appreciate most is Laurie’s ability “to assist” which helps you to continually deepen your practice and “to adjust” which develops awareness in your practice.

In her teacher training, Laurie demonstrates a deep understanding of the material as well as a reflective insight into its meanings.  The techniques Laurie shared to guide students deeper into their physical practice through assists and adjustments have been invaluable to me as a teacher.

I participated in Yoga Nine’s 2016-2017 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) as well as Vinyasa Krama: Targeted Sequencing and Adjusting. I chose these programs for several reasons. Although I had participated in another training prior to this one, I did not feel confident in my ability to safely guide students through asana. Moreover, I trust and respect Laurie explicitly. Her knowledge and expertise make her a rare gem. She is kind, thoughtful, inquisitive, and generous to a fault. As our teacher, she challenged us to think for ourselves and to question everything, including her.

Our YTT was both theoretical and practical in nature. We studied the theories behind all of the major schools through readings, videos and lectures. In order to demonstrate our understanding, we practiced hands on assists and progressive sequencing. All of which were followed by constructive feedback to help us monitor progress, learn from one another and continuously improve.

Vinyasa Krama: Targeted Sequencing and Adjusting was beneficial personally and professionally. As a practitioner, this helped me find alternatives so that I too could benefit from asanas outside of my reach. Professionally, I was able to teach students of all levels as I was given the tools to help meet them at their level.

I am so grateful for my time under Laurie’s tutelage. I know that I am a better teacher and student for having learned from someone so wise.

Laurie has a depth knowledge and experience about yoga with a keen understanding on human bodies.  She has a particular interest in ensuring that the students achieve correct form in order to meet their optimum level when practicing any asanas. She uses good communication to convey methods on how to best engage your own body with kindness and respect to what is accessible.  She provides recommendations with clarity to pay attention to personal experience and learn how to move forward with the practice. She is highly committed to provide the best experience at every class. Laurie is amazingly talented in providing physical adjustment, verbal clues and visual representation in order for everyone to understand and focus the whole duration of the practice.  Laurie provide a consistent life affirming experience and a true yoga experience. I consistently gain new perspectives in my practice and learn something new every time

I am new to yoga and have a lot of physical challenges and get bored easily. Laurie is professional, creates routines to accommodate my special needs and boredom and cares about her students

I was very fortunate to take my teacher training with one of the best yoga teachers I have ever seen.  Laurie Greene just doesn’t teach the poses of yoga but teaches the true philosophy of breath and movement.  With her adjusting and sequencing she enables a student to achieve what they never thought was possible. Her ability to translate what a person should be feeling into words is an amazing skill not often shared by other instructors.  No matter what class I am attending I am fortunate to take with me the knowledge that I acquired in my teacher training.

I have been a student of Laurie Greene for many years.  I have learned so much from her. She is a dedicated teacher with so much knowledge of how the body works.  Laurie can safely bring you deeper into each pose with her spot on adjustments. Her sequencing is second to none.  She can target one body part and you will definitely know that you worked that part to the best of your ability. She also peppers in so much knowledge of the teachings of yoga in her classes that you leave feeling the whole effect, mind, body and spirit.

Laurie is an amazing teacher with extensive experience in principles of anatomy and alignment. She is able to change a sequence in the moment based on who is in the room or how her students are responding to her class.

Whether you are searching for a yoga class or teacher training, Laurie Green is a terrific teacher of asana and breath work. Awesome technique instruction, intelligent cues and sequences link body, breath and mind. I completed my teacher training in 2007 with Laurie and I continue to learn while taking classes at Yoga Nine.
