WHO IS LAURIE JORDAN, ANYWAY?

Laurie Jordan, MSW, E-RYT 500, RCYT, brings over 20 years of yoga teaching experience and a passion for making yoga accessible to all. Known for her playful, laid-back style and smartly sequenced classes, Laurie creates welcoming spaces where students of all levels can thrive. Her signature “slow, steady, and strong” vinyasa flow is breath-centric and thoughtfully designed to counter the fast pace of life, building strength and calm in equal measure. Slow, steady, and strong wins the race! 

Beyond vinyasa, Laurie also offers therapeutically oriented yoga to meet the multidimensional needs of her students. This gentle, yin-inspired yoga practice empowers students to go inward, get quiet and listen to their bodies in order to discover their inherent ability to heal and live life well. 

While Laurie works with folks of all ages, she has a soft spot for kids, knowing that good habits start young. After teaching yoga to thousands of kids and training hundreds of instructors in the specialty of kids' yoga, Laurie wrote YAWNING YOGA to help families conquer bedtime jitters and soothe the restless child. 

But experience aside, what sets Laurie apart is her ability to relate and connect with students in a way that makes them feel safe, comfortable, completely at ease—and eager to return to their mats again and again!

She has been featured in the Chicago Tribune, Well and Good NYC, Mind-Body-Green, Yoga Journal, Working Mother, Greenwich, and Westport Magazines and she shared her expertise as a contributing writer for Elephant Journal.
