Laura Moir

Forever a devotee and student of yoga, Laura has found immense physical, mental, and spiritual healing within her practice since finding yoga in 1999 at the Piedmont Yoga Studio under the tutelage of Rodney Yee. Laura is an Oakland native, born and raised, outside of her time studying film at the University of Southern California. Movement and physical expression have always been a part of her life, studying jazz, tap, and ballet dance then moving into the world of marathon running in 2010.

Along a combined 30-year career path in event management, Laura found herself burned out, overly stressed, and anxious; therefore, in 2022 chose to change her life and pursue her dream- via the sole outlet that provided her true joy- and become a yoga teacher. Laura’s teaching approach has developed into one of healing and recovery, her message that of love, and her aim to provide a safe and accessible space for all beings and all abilities alike.

Laura completed her 200-hour training at Yoga Kula Berkeley in 2022 in the Anusara method and has since furthered her studies, training with master yogis including Judith Lasater, Baxter Bell, Margi Young, and JoAnn Lyons. Laura also holds teaching certifications in Relax and RenewⓇ (Restorative Yoga) and Yoga for Disabilities. Laura is also a Certified Sound Practitioner through the Sound Healing Academy and is a member of the Board of Directors for the Piedmont Yoga Community.
