For those of you who are new to my page, thanks for the follow and WELCOME! Here’s a little bit about me…
My name is Laurel Rourick. I am mama to twin 10 year old boys, and another little guy who’s 8. I am an animal lover through and through - from Lizards to cats and dogs, my house is a full one. My heart bleeds for rescuing large breed dogs. My hubby and I have been married for 13 years. He and I are both First Responders - I was an EMT for nearly 6 years in Modesto. Our favorite hobbies to do together are weight lifting, cooking, and exploring nature with our 3 dogs and 3 sons.
My formal Yoga training is in Trauma Informed, Faith Based, and Kids Yoga. One of the reasons I was drawn to the practice of Yoga (and specifically the Trauma Informed Yoga world) was seeing first hand so much pain, disregulation, and stress I saw out in the field, working 911 calls. I felt so helpless after seeing so much hurt and brokenness. The pain I saw in my patients, and also in my coworkers and in myself after seeing folks on the worst day of their lives, day in and day out led me to seek out some small way I could give back to those hurting around me. As clichè as it sounds, in the process of wanting to help others through Yoga, Yoga changed my entire life. I am honored to have the opportunity to guide people into finding their own healing and inner peace through Yoga.
Though I enjoy teaching many different Yoga populations, my favorite is working with our younger generation. Getting to be a part of guiding kiddos into developing coping mechanisms and ways of handling the frustrations life throws at them in a healthy way lights my soul on fire.
Thanks for being here, Beautiful People!
