Laura Gisi

1. Laura was introduced to yoga in 2001 after her mother passed away from breast cancer.  She found solace in the practice and a way to stay grounded both physically and emotionally. But it wasn’t until Laura moved to Marble Falls, Texas in 2014 that she truly deepened her practice. Amongst a community of yogi warriors, she learned how to exist in the present moment, fully experiencing the connection that happens between mind, body and soul while on the mat. She became a passionate advocate for the practice, encouraging everyone she knew to come and experience the place where everything from the past and future quiets and a person is able to exist in the NOW.

Laura earned her 200-hour Yoga Alliance Certification in March of 2018 training under Brad Offutt, a well-practiced and respected Baptiste Power Vinyasa Yoga© instructor. She obtained her 300-hour certification in Bali in March of 2019 in tantric Hatha through Zuna Yoga in Bali. She is a well-seasoned leader, emboldening others to discover their own true potential through the practice of asana, self-inquiry, and meditation. Her classes are not only challenging and invigorating, but will nourish your mind and spirit. She believes and honors the mindset that yoga is for EVERY Body and will lead you in a session offering magical, feel-good assists to help you discover unrealized strengths. Her focus is not the attainment of a perfect physical pose, but rather the practice of opening ones heart to the beauty of the journey, a practice that can be found in each day both on and off the mat. At her core, she is an ambassador of love and light and is passionate about awakening people to the infinite possibility that already resides within them while motivating them to dispose of thoughts and behaviors that no longer serve them. In her teaching and presence, it is her sincere intention to be a clear, open channel of love, energy, and opportunity.

Laura’s degree in International Studies and her extensive travels throughout Europe, Southeast Asia, Africa,The Middle East, North America, and Latin America have broadened her view of different cultures, philosophies and tradition. She has attended multiple international yoga retreats, participated in home builds with Habitat for Humanity, and is in the process of planning her own international yoga retreats this year. When not on the mat, Laura can be found directing plays at the local community theatre, dancing, singing, taking photographs, writing, and scuba diving.
