WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
I absolutely love Laurel’s Yoga with Bands online classes! Every class incorporates new “wake up” activations for different areas of the body and her logical sequences make every class feel like an adventure!
-Trina Altman
I am loving your Sweet and Simple Strength workouts and did the B2 version today. Incorporating these tempo-based and repetitive movement sequences into my week is doing wonders for my nervous system. I finished today and thought, "I feel more put together"—in my physical body and in my mind! It's an odd phrase but I think you know what I mean. Yay for a varied movement diet!
-Jennifer Kurdyla
Just wanted to share how happy I still am with your online studio. I will turn 54 in April. For the first time in my life I am aware of how my body feels as it moves. All thanks to your razor-sharp instruction. There is a whole new world to discover.

PRAISE FOR LAUREL'S VIRTUAL STUDIO:
Thank you for putting energy and research into delivering key information about the topic of strength in Strength Science 101. You did this so clearly. I found your lectures quite engaging and accessible. The photos and analogies were helpful. Additionally, the video increments were helpful to parse listening time. After this course, I feel like I have a much deeper understanding as to how strength occurs and why you teach us specific strategies. I also feel more motivated to lift heavier weights."
-Tanya L.
I just wanted to say how much I am enjoying Kettlebell Gym. I had done a couple of kettlebell classes (Russian kettlebells). I enjoyed them, but I didn't realize how much more fun kettlebells could be. I love how many different movements and planes of motion you integrate. And I really appreciate the atmosphere you create. One of sharing (rather than imparting) knowledge. I am learning a lot and look forward to the next sessions.
-Valentina Marconi
Hi Laurel! I just took your kettlebell class and it was amazing. First timer, always afraid to touch them at the gym but not anymore. Your passion for movement and teaching is contagious and I loved every minute of class. I’m excited to participate and learn so much more. Thank you!
