COVER MODEL

Laura Burkhart

Laura Burkhart is a San Francisco

based yoga teacher, who also

teaches online and at conferences

and retreats. She has appeared

in numerous Yoga Journal online

video podcasts, is a writer and

has been spotlighted in many

magazines. She has written

features for Yoga Journal U.S. and

has been on the cover for Yoga

Journal Italy.

Laura originally sought out yoga

to help combat serious health

problems related to years of stress

and insomnia. She gravitated

towards yoga because it reminded

her of the similar movement and

meditation she found in dance.

The healing and grounding

benefits she received from yoga

were so profound that she decided

to change the course of her work

life to help others find the same

relief and peace she had found

through a fluid, meditative vinyasa

practice.

Laura is teaching in Singapore

on March 18 at Amara Sanctuary

Resort, Sentosa. Don’t miss her

sessions. Check out

yogajournal.com.sg for details.

Come say Hi to Laura and take

a picture with her before she

heads off to teach at the Bali

Spirit Festival (March 19-26). Laura

will also be teaching at a yoga

retreat (March 23-30) to ring in the

Balinese New Year.
