C-IAYT Yoga Therapist, Hatha Yoga Teacher, Restorative and Yin Yoga Teacher.
Lori began her yoga journey in 1999 coming from a health and fitness background that continues to inform her teachings today. For ten years she owned and operated Body Harmony Yoga Studio, a successful yoga space in North Vancouver, until family took her to Peru. While in Peru, Lori continued to develop her practice and stayed connected online with her community of like-minded yogis back in Canada. During that time, she returned home regularly to share the beloved Yoga by the Beach classes in beautiful West Vancouver. Now settled back on the North Shore, Lori integrates yoga therapeutics into her unique teachings for groups and individuals, online and in person. She specializes in breath optimization, mindfulness and improved postural alignment for those dealing with general muscular tension and acute injuries, however she works well with a diverse clientele who sometimes require her skills with chronic pain management and trauma informed training.
Inspired by a long list of teachers and mentors, Lori loves to integrate positive lifestyle themes and yogic philosophy into her sessions. A holistic approach is taken to encourage contentment, where one feels a connection to self, the community, the globe and beyond.
With at least 2500 hours of certifications, Lori has over two decades of qualified teaching experience in Classical Hatha Yoga, Yin, Restorative, Prenatal, Mom and Baby, as well as kids yoga. She thrives on hosting retreats and teaching a live online class, along with working closely with clients supporting them through private Yoga Therapy, since certification at VSOHA in 2020.
