what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?
— Mary Oliver

Lou is a wild hearted, freedom loving, nature and beach obsessed yogini. She loves to share her practice and knowledge of yoga with her students though soulful and dynamic flows and insightful yin practices that focus on nervous system regulation and deep inquiry that leads to true knowledge of the self. As a highly sensitive person (HSP) she loves to share the practices, tools and insights that have helped her understand and thrive with her innate sensitivity. She knows from her lived experience that a spiritual practice and daily sadhana are simply the BEST things for sensitive souls!

Lou has over 1000 hours of formal training. 200 YTT, 350 YTT, the method, advanced vinyasa trainings, aerial yoga trainings, 3 x yin trainings…. she is an eternal student of the incredible body of knowledge. 

Her style is playful, reverent, deep, joyful. In her classes she tries to impart the holistic nature of the practice -whatever the student needs, yoga has it. Maybe its something physical like a stretch or a vigorous practice to get the blood moving, maybe its an intellectual or philosophical inquiry into the nature of life…maybe something is needed for the spirit. What she loves to share with students is the multilayered nature of this practice.  Also, we can come to the mat as we are and there is no judgment –ever. Just showing up builds tapas and that is what transforms us over time.
