Laura Van Duyne

Laura began regularly practicing yoga in 2019 when she moved to South Carolina with her family. Having been an avid runner, yoga gave her a different way to exercise her body and balance her workouts. As her yoga practice grew over the years, she found herself coming to her mat more often than her running shoes. She received her yoga instructor certification in 2024 through Om Yoga with Rachael Lary and Jackie Dominas. Laura loves the physical aspect of yoga and designs her classes to be challenging yet inclusive to all, while incorporating playful vibes to help her students lighten up and explore their potential. Laura is convinced that yoga helps us defy the physical effects of aging by improving balance, strength, and flexibility. She also believes that yoga isn’t all about the physical component - it allows us to be present and to surrender to the current moment - which is where the true benefits of yoga lie. The more peace we create in ourselves, the more we spread to others and to the world. Off the mat, she enjoys being a wife and mama to her two children and dog, working as a speech therapist, and exploring the world.
