Now introducing Laura Goellner, one of our four new teachers on Glo this season! We are thrilled to welcome her into our community. Below, get to know Laura through her letter to the Glo family.

Hi Glo Community!

I’m Laura, a Yoga Therapist and Occupational Therapist based in southern New Jersey and sunny northern Florida.

My focus is on helping you create a stronger relationship with yourself through the holistic practice of yoga. We will work with the principles of mindfulness and mobility training to connect to your physical body. We will explore practices that are rooted in human anatomy and psychology that honor your mind-body individuality. Together, we will dig into the details of your experience, fostering a depth of awareness in your practice and in your life.

My relationship with yoga began, somewhat reluctantly, over two decades ago. As I transitioned away from competitive sports, I found myself in a yoga class, thinking about sneaking out halfway through. Thankfully, I worked past that initial discomfort and gave it another try. Several months later, while stretched out in Savasana, I felt true relaxation for the first time (maybe ever?). It was a novel experience during a highly stressful period of my life, and it instantly solidified my desire to share these techniques with others.

Ever since then, I have been fascinated by the interaction between yoga and the nervous system. I draw inspiration from my professional background as a clinical Occupational Therapist to craft an experience that helps you to know yourself deeply and take great care of yourself.

If you are ready to step into a practice that supports your personal development, you can join me on Glo for a breath-guided slow flow, a modern approach to Kundalini yoga, and a special practice called Yoga at the Wall.

I am honored to be working alongside so many teachers on Glo that have inspired me over the years, and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to share my love of yoga with you, the Glo community.

I can’t wait to see you on the mat!
