Yoga has the power to heal and unite, not only individually, but globally. The action of stepping on our mat plants the seed of awareness and, through moment to moment mindfulness, we cultivate love and integrate peace into our world.  Yoga invites us into a fearless examination of who we take ourselves to be and empowers us to express our true inner radiance, participating fully to co-create a positive life for all. Teaching Anusara-based, Ashtanga, Yin and Restorative Yoga classes, I have fun sharing a medley of asana, pranayama, and meditation, peppered with wisdom from the sacred texts of Yoga and other readings so you feel encouraged in your own inherent wholeness and radiant goodness. With humbling pranams, I give thanks for all of my teachers, past and present. I have been graced with a 200-hr Yoga Alliance certification and I am also a Karma Krew Chief, with the honor of coordinating service projects (or "seva") within my Central Florida yoga community.  Please see www.theyogaservicecenter.com and www.laurengaines.wordpress.com for more information.  Om, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
