RYT 500 and Reiki Master

Laura Schadler

As an educator in her day job, Laura’s teaching is deep and thorough and filled with cues for the body’s wisdom to heal and align.

Laura grew up in the mountains of Virginia, studied filmmaking and creative writing in New York, and moved to San Francisco in her early 20s. The moment Laura walked in the Lotus doors, she felt welcomed into the community and practice of Lotus Flow. Every Lotus student was guided through an authentic and empowering practice, and she continues to offer that same guidance to her students.

Laura’s classes draw from over twenty years as a yoga student, her many incredible yoga teachers and mentors, and most recently, her love of pilates, strength training, and insights from physical therapy. Laura’s classes focus on gentle, interdisciplinary, and functional movement with the aim of encouraging steadiness, spaciousness, and connection to self. In both Lotus Flow and Restore and Lotus Basics, you can expect to slow down, focus on exploration and curiosity, use your props in creative and playful ways, and leave feeling strong, centered, and nourished.
