In the summer of 2001, Laura was reading VT's Burlington Free Press one Sunday with an extra large cup of Joe when she saw a human pretzel looking back at her.  She read the article about Bikram yoga and joined the 4:30 class that day.  She loved it and was hooked from day one.

She hasn't been able to tear herself away since.  She embraced the teachers, the hot, intense workout and the post-yoga high.  It was the first time she realized her calves could sweat.  After finishing college in 2003, Laura headed to L.A. to achieve certification as a Bikram instructor.  She has been teaching in Portsmouth ever since.  Laura knows Bikram will be a part of her life for years to come and welcomes others ready to take the challenge.
