Lorie had been practicing yoga for many years on her own until she found her true “Yoga Home” at the Ananda Lynnwood Community in the late 90s. She became a graduate of the 200 level Ananda Yoga Teacher training in 2011. She has since continued on with her studies becoming certified as a specialist in each of the following fields – restorative, yoga nidra, meditation, adaptive yoga teacher, yoga for cancer and a yoga therapy. One her greatest joys is helping others find the peace and joy she feels by creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels acknowledged, supported, with a sense of well-being and awareness of the inner radiance that exists within all of us.
