Aurora Life Sports Inc. was launched as a small giveback mechanism to support and promote movement and expressive connection in every day habits.

Laura is a registered yoga teacher (200-hour RYT) in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga and has been practicing yoga for over 25 years as a part of her day-to-day life with various instructors as well as for a year in Chai-Yi, Taiwan. She also holds a certification in Yin Yoga, pole fitness, and Standard First Aid – CPR C – AED and is affiliated with both the Canadian Yoga Alliance and International Yoga Alliance.

Class Management 

Classes are prepared and structured beforehand. However, clients and situations change daily. Therefore, we start each class with an overview and specific intent and then flow through a sequence (beginner to advanced). Participants are provided with options so they can adjust depending on how they are performing and feeling that day.

Safety

The intent of yoga is to demonstrate and teach effective methods that aid movement and mindfulness in every day life. We use our breath as a tool to assess and work though range of motion limits, and various techniques to enhance body awareness first. Then, we work muscles though engagement and relaxation exercises to relieve tension and build strength progressively. Pushing through numbness, pain, compression etc. is discouraged. 

Individual Uniquenesses and Abilities

Students come to class with various habits, emotions, limitations, injuries and strengths. The goal is to recognize, reflect upon, and celebrate this without placing judgement on the esthetics of a particular pose. So, we work on techniques to disconnect, focus and accept what is so that they can move forward with their personal goals, given their individual uniquenesses.
