Laura Stornelli

Hi.

My name is Laura Stornelli and I am a certified pilates/yoga/spin instructor. I am a married mother of two adult boys residing in Ontario, Canada. I have been teaching fitness classes to all levels of fitness for the past twelve years. 

I am in my mid fifties and feel that exercise is instrumental to maintaining ongoing wellness. I am a seven year cancer survivor who worked out through chemo and radiation treatments for overall mind and body health. This is a personal philosophy that I aim to share. After my treatment for cancer finished I helped to create Dragonfly Wellness for Women. Dragonfly is a charity based in York Region that aims to guide women post treatment on the next phase of their wellness journey. In this role I fundraise, volunteer at the wellness retreats teaching yoga and pilates to women who have had surgeries and lymphatic issues. Dragonfly has an exercise branch called SHAPE where women who are finished treatment can get back into fitness in a safe and supported environment. Along with an RMT who specializes in lymphatic issues we provide an eight week program for this demographic.
