How might one describe Laura Tyree? Sincere introspection infused with warm humor, dynamic energy, and tenacious perseverance are all trademarks of Laura and her teaching style.
Laura encourages her students to utilize their yoga practice in a multitude of ways. Many deepen their awareness of self and open fully to their unique beauty and strength, both inner and outer. Her teachings grow and blossom as her life transforms. Blend these cherished traits with her unique approach to the eight-limb path, mantra meditation, anatomy, and psychology and then one can grasp the full, organic richness of her yogic style.
Laura first trained with Jan Campbell and the rigorous Iyengar Yoga method in 1986, while recovering from a sports related injury in college. She began teaching in 1990 after meeting teachers Erich Schiffmann and Rodney Yee. Internal awareness, breath, and compassion gave her purpose. This shift led her to deepen her yoga practice and studies.
Co-founder of Yoga Source in Nashville TN (1996), she began to teach in earnest finding a deep love in sharing the knowledge of yoga. After many years of practice and study with Rodney, Erich and other dedicated and renowned teachers, Laura continues to hone her teaching skills and explore her own personal growth. Her current studies in yoga therapy are inspired by her teachers JJ Gormley-Etchells and Doug Keller. Both are frequent quest instructors for her Teacher Training Programs.
Laura opened the doors to Dragonfly Yoga Studies in FL (2001), consolidating her training programs into one 13-month teacher’s course. With her love of adventure and nature, Laura travels to facilitate yoga asana workshops in the Southeast and California, and teacher trainings throughout the Southeast (Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Tennessee). While at home, Laura raises her son, Will, teaches weekly public classes, and directs her teacher training programs.
Laura’s love of music and chanting led to the release of "Amma Bhakti" CD in 2007. Visit www.myspace.com/lauratyree to hear some of the beautiful songs from this creation.
"This CD is the culmination of 22 years of yoga practice and a lifetime of singing my heart full. I have chanted sacred yoga and spiritual mantra during and after classes for years as a means to promote healing, relaxation, and balance to those listening. These are ancient phrases blended with inspired melodies. These melodies arrived in their own time and unique ways throughout my yoga journey. Everything is vibration. Light, sound, thought, and action all culminate into each arriving moment. Those chills we get are the proof of something greater than our current knowing. I hope this brings you the opportunity to be, to know, and to experience yourself more deeply." ~ Laura

Often times when things get tough, or tougher, we can fall into a pattern of doubt...this leads to feeling like every arising thing, even the good ones, are more obligation and obstacle, than opportunity. This is the time to reframe your thoughts...opportunity, opportunity, opportunity...even if you don't believe it at first. Soon your thoughts will lighten, and the pattern of doubt will transform into a pattern of faith and optimism.
