I feel very lucky I get to understand my body this way and it was this mindset that let me get out of pain.
I was just thinking about how happy I was I found your classes. They’re so different than most yoga and the way they’re shifting my mindset to understand how I can use props for feedback to move better is just game changing. I feel very lucky I get to understand my body this way and it was this mindset that let me get out of pain.

Thanks to your razor-sharp instruction. There is a whole new world to discover.
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.

I feel like I have a much deeper understanding as to how strength occurs.
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."

I finished today and thought, "I feel more put together"—in my physical body and in my mind!
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!

MEET LAUREL
Well hey there! I'm a CSCS, YACEP, E-RYT 500, international yoga educator, certified kettlebell specialist, strength coach and the creator of Yoga with Resistance Bands teacher training. I'm also a mom and a New York City transplant living in Huntsville, Alabama.
As a yoga teacher turned strength coach, I know what it’s like to be trapped in dogma. Initially, it’s satisfying, protective even, until it stops working and turns against you. I know that, as a teacher, there’s nothing worse than obsessing over the best way to keep your students “safe” only to feel bored, stuck, and in pain. It’s difficult to realize what you’re teaching isn’t really serving your students, because the truth is, it’s no longer serving you.
Now, I help other teachers expand their careers using the same tools and processes I did. Rather than prescribing a set of rules, though, I help teachers understand and integrate other movement modalities and scientific concepts through the classes and continuing education courses I offer in my membership.
I teach to help people feel better and live better in their bodies using the combined tools of yoga, strength & conditioning, and evidenced-based body science.
You can find my articles online for Yoga Journal, Shut Up & Yoga, and the Tune Up Fitness blog, as well as my own personal blog, as well. I also co-host the Movement Logic: Strong Opinions Loosely Held podcast. When I'm not taking care of my daughter or teaching, you can find me on long walks in the forested foothills of the Appalachian mountains.

I didn't realize how much more fun kettlebells could be.
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.

Your passion for movement and teaching is contagious and I loved every minute of class.
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!
