Jennifer Lauro, RYT Jennifer Lauro is a Topsfield resident, who will be a Registered Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance in June, 2008. Jennifer's yoga practice seriously began 10 years ago, although she does remember practicing yoga poses at the age of 4 from a book that her mother bought in the grocery store! As a full-time mother, lawyer and multi-tasker, Jennifer was initially drawn to yoga as a means both to reduce stress and to get into shape. Her practice has evolved over time: Iyengar, to Bikram, to Power, but for the moment, Jennifer focuses on Hatha-style yoga. She has come to appreciate the spiritual benefits of yoga, and believes strongly that yoga and meditation are essential to her own health. Jennifer lives with a chronic illness, and is motivated to teach yoga so she can share the gifts of wellness and peace that yoga gives to her and offers to us all.
