MEET LAURIE
LAURIE LEVENSTEIN
Yoga Instructor - Reiki Master
How did you discover Yoga?
I found yoga (or I should say yoga found me), when I was addressing debilitating chronic neck pain. Once I took my first Yoga class, I was hooked! Doctor and chiropractor visits went from painful and many to unnecessary, after establishing a regular yoga practice.
How long have you been teaching and guiding students?
I've been teaching Yoga full-time since the beginning of 2009. I completed my first Yoga Certification for Ashtanga-based Vinyasa in 2011 and my 500-hour Yoga Certification for Hatha Yoga in 2013.
In 2020, I obtained my Reiki Master Certification.
How did you get into Reiki?
I was exceptionally blessed to meet someone who took me under their wing. So, the story goes... I got married, had a beautiful baby girl, and opened a yoga studio with my husband (Yoga Aura), all within a year of each other. And not too long after this, my hard-working husband had a sudden heart attack and was gone from this Earth-plane. I know I wouldn't be here today if it wasn't for the Earth-bound angels that helped me and for Reiki. Reiki assisted in lifting my vibration and saved my life.
What is your passion?
I am extremely passionate about healing and helping, because they are the reason I am here. Healing and helping others with their healing are the only two things on this Earth that are worth my love and energy, everything I do stems from that. I get excited every interaction I have because I have learned we are all here to serve each other. I enjoy encouraging students and friends to see things from a different perspective and to face the adventures that come with life with an open heart. The healing tools of Yoga, Meditation and Reiki, have produced transformational miracles in my life. I am blessed and honored to be able to serve others with the healing methodology that I have learned.
If you could say only one thing to the world, what would it be?
Health and happiness is your birthright!
