Laurie Greene, PhD, E-RYT, YBR
DIRECTOR
A PhD in anthropology, Laurie has practiced yoga since age 15, having grown up in a “yoga family”. Since then, yoga has become her healthy addiction. Always an enthusiastic student, Laurie combines her training in a variety of classical “hatha” traditions, bringing insights and techniques from all these to her eclectic teaching and practice. Training extensively in the Iyengar tradition, emphasis is on safety, technique and proper alignment so that students will get the greatest benefits from their practice, and easily experience the joy that yoga affords every fitness level. Laurie is also certified in Vinyasa flow and is registered with the Yoga Alliance as an “experienced teacher” and trainer.
Her continuing exploration of classical and newer interpretations of Astanga Vinyasa have led her to study with many amazing teachers; and to all of them she is forever grateful. The studio has become a place where many of these and new teachers gather and continue to inspire. Having completed her 500 hour certification with the wonderful Edward Clark & Elizabeth Connelly, Laurie’s passion lies in blending many styles into a practice that is instructive, creative and fun. Laurie is the proud parent of three grown children!
Testimonials: Yoga Nine
“Whether you are searching for a yoga class or teacher training, Laurie Greene is a terrific teacher of asana and breathwork. 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 with every class I take.” -Kate S.
“Laurie taught me how to breathe. Her teaching has allowed mr 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 between yoga philosophy and physical asana practice…as a result of my training with Laurie, my mind and body have entered into a loving absorption. Yoga is only useful when it is applied in real life. My training allowed me to confidently change direction and devote myself to meaningful social action. I have also been able to work toward improving my own teaching and instructing anyone who walks in my door-regardless of experience, age, background, or condition…to master the ability to focus on the smallest to largest points…and then help others to do the same.” -Annie
“I have been practicing with Laurie for 12+ years and I still think that 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 of in your practice.” -Tara T.
