Laura Plumb

In Yoga classes, Laura directs students’ awareness to body and breath to develop mastery of the mind, and ultimately to transcend the physical, in order to access higher realms of consciousness. She encourages Yoga practice to be a celebration of life - a breathing with the divine essence everywhere - and an expression of compassion to help further the healing and awakening of humanity.

Yoga has meant a lot to Laura. Overwhelming, life-threatening experiences drew her to the healing fires of Yoga to purify and renew. As she began to emerge from the shadows of her conditioned self, a profound near-death experience revealed to her the awesome intelligence creating and informing all life. With that, she embraced Yoga even more as a way to integrate this ground-shaking awareness.

Laura is extremely grateful to her teachers who took her from darkness to light, particularly Rita Rivera, don Miguel Ruiz, Barbara Simon, Yogiraj Rod Stryker, Vamadeva Shastri, Jeffrey Armstrong, Tom Stone, and Swamini Mayatitananda, and to the sages of our time Swami Muktananda, Paramahansa Yogananda, Sri Anandamoyi Ma for their profound inspiration and guidance.

Laura Plumb is co-founder of Deep Yoga with her husband Bhava. She is registered with the Yoga Alliance at the 500-hour level and leads retreats, workshops and trainings. Laura's primary teacher is Vamadeva Shastri (Dr. David Frawley), founder of the American Institute of Vedic Studies, and known worldwide as a master of Vedic Wisdom, Yoga, Ayurveda and Jyotish, and she is soon to be certified by the Institute as an advanced practitioner. She recently produced her first Yoga DVD, containing three 20-minute asana practices (morning, evening, restorative).
