Testimonials:
The Breath workshop exceeded my expectation in so many ways and I wanted to share some feedback about this with you using a basic framework that we use for IB lesson planning and delivery. The framework is called KUD – as in Knowledge, Understanding and Doing (Skills).
KNOWLEDGE: I found the depth of your knowledge about biology, physiology, human anatomy, and logic, enticing and fascinating. Your theoretical and technical knowledge of the human body was used most effectively to supplement your anecdotal, and often funny, background in breathing and yoga.
SKILLS (DOING) From the start of the workshop, you incorporated practice and demonstration into our learning as participants. Rather than talk only, you preferred to demonstrate, and encouraged us to experience the impact/effects of proper breathing techniques on our daily lives. This method of delivery allowed us to embed the practices into our lives in a seamless manner. Your experiential approach enabled me to overcome my own inhibitions about breathing incorrectly and in front of others.
UNDERSTANDING What was apparent from the opening activity of the workshop, was your deep understanding of the many ways in which breathing techniques were transferable to participants. As we practiced the techniques and the skills, our understanding deepened. Through the fusion of real-world applications (your stories), and your ethnographic research (your life experiences), we were able to appreciate your passion and your authentic approach to the mantra of “breath is life”.
Thank you, Laurie, for your energy and your compassion, and for teaching us that breath is not only life but that it is also empathy.

• This seminar gave simple techniques to handle stress and feel more energized. I think everything about this seminar was positive. The popularity of this class would make it seem that this class should be offered again to those who could not participate.
• I was impressed by the instructor's knowledge and her great attitude! I will get back into doing deep breathing more often during the day.
• This is something that can be used anywhere!
• The teacher was great! Extremely pleasant to listen to, extremely knowledgeable. She taught some great techniques and exercises.
• Great "hands-on" practice and hand-outs were good.
• The instructor seemed so relaxed. It was a joy to listen to her. She exuded a "slow your life down" attitude. I always knew it was good to diaphragm breathe to rid yourself of toxins but I now will exhale much more strongly.
• The trainer's attitude and energy were very positive and believable. The things she taught were easy to do and easy to remember.
​
• Learning how important breathing (deeply) is to my overall health and how I can
incorporate deep breathing techniques into my daily routine.
• I was able to leave the room in a 100% more relaxed, calm state than when I entered
