Long Island Yoga School — Local services in Town of Brookhaven

Embarking on my yoga journey at LI Yoga School, I had the privilege of being guided by an extraordinary mentor whose influence went far beyond the yoga mat. The experience was nothing short of transformative, and it's my pleasure to share the profound impact my mentor has had on my practice and personal growth.

From the very first session, it was evident that Laurie was more than an instructor; they were a true guide on the path to self-discovery. Their deep knowledge of yoga philosophy, coupled with a genuine passion for the practice, created an atmosphere of authenticity and mindfulness.

What sets Laurie apart is not just their expertise in the physical postures but their ability to seamlessly weave in the spiritual and mental aspects of yoga. Each class became a holistic journey, integrating breathwork, meditation, and asanas to nurture the mind, body, and soul. The sessions were challenging yet accessible, allowing for growth at one's own pace.

Beyond the technicalities, Laurie fostered a sense of community within the class. Their compassionate and encouraging demeanor made the studio a safe space for everyone, fostering a supportive environment where individuals felt empowered to push their boundaries. Laurie truly embodies the yogic principles of unity and acceptance.

One of the most remarkable aspects of Laurie's mentorship is their commitment to individualized guidance. They took the time to understand each student's unique journey, tailoring sessions to address specific needs and goals. This personalized approach created a profound connection between mentor and student, fostering a sense of trust and openness.

As a mentor, Laurie radiates positivity and embodies the very essence of a yogi. Their words of wisdom extended beyond the studio, providing valuable insights applicable to the challenges of daily life. The transformative impact of Laurie's teachings resonates not just in physical flexibility but in a newfound mental and emotional resilience.

Laurie is not just a yoga instructor; they are a beacon of inspiration, a compassionate guide, and a mentor who goes above and beyond to facilitate personal growth. For anyone seeking a truly enriching yoga experience, I wholeheartedly recommend working with Laurie in an environment that nurtures both the body and the spirit.

Thank you, Laurie!

I am also very excited to find out that Laurie offers continuing education...

Not just a certification, a series of master class sessions!

I have been practicing Yoga for 20+ years and have been wanting to take a certification course for a long time. When the pandemic hit I felt it was the perfect time to to fulfill this desire. So when I started researching courses, and found The Long Island Yoga School, I was ecstatic! Why? Because one of the main reasons I have so much love for yoga and my personal practice, is because of a class I walked into 16 years ago. That class was Laurie's. She had this way that spoke so clearly to me. I found myself progressing 5x faster than I had in the first 5 years of my practice. The connection I felt to Laurie was undeniable. This was the obvious choice for my certification path. I finished up my certification recently and can honestly say it was an amazing experience. The one on one zoom classes were the highlights of my week. She teaches with such ease, she gave me so much encouragement and could see right through to my insecurities. I would recommend this 200 Hour course to anyone who wants a better understanding of Yoga and is looking to become a confident teacher with their own unique style of teaching. I can say with complete assurance you will be transformed from an enthusiastic student to an enthusiastic teacher with the desire to be better. Thank you...

I did a lot of research and interviewers with Yoga schools before deciding to start my 200 YTT with Long Island Yoga School. I wanted to make sure the school was Yoga Alliance Certified and there was an option for classes during the week and not just on the weekends, since I work full time. Laurie is absolutely amazing. She walked me through the program before I signed up. I am so glad I am part of the LIYS family. Laurie is hands on with an intensive and thorough curriculum with Zoom Lectures and Yoga classes. Everything is personalized to your schedule. I found this so refreshing, since other schools were only offering video demonstrations and modules for training. Due to COVID, there was no option for in-person training, but Laurie is hands on, it felt as if she was right next to me in a studio. I learned so much about myself in the training. Laurie was there for me every step of the way in my journey. She is so amazing with her cues and teaching skills. She is the best Yoga instructor I have ever met. I would highly recommend LIYS to anyone who is interested in YTT.

I absolutely love the program! I am graduating soon from the 200 YTT and already enrolled in the 300YTT training with Long Island Yoga School.

Thank you, Laurie! I am...
