Roche's mantra is Have Fun, tempered by the knowledge that having fun relies far more on how she guides her mind than the task she's engaged in. She teaches from a sense of delight in the miracle that muscles and bones work so well together, a belief that devotion easefully enlivens any practice, and gratitude that we humans have the ability to dance. The play between rigorous study, brazen sensuality and deep wonder is the grounding for the work that she does in all the forms she loves.

She moved to San Francisco on a leap of faith, and landing at Laughing Lotus transformed this strange city into a home. She is thrilled to be living on the best coast, riding her bike, eating fresh fruit, hanging out with new and old friends, dancing every day, and practicing yoga with the incredible gang of hooligans that's drawn to Laughing Lotus.
