Lara Gratsinopoulos I started my journey to yoga in 1991. I began by teaching Aerobics, strength training and personal training at the YMCA. From there I trained to teach Gymnastics to kids between the ages of 5-16 years of age. I was the Physical fitness Queen and when Yoga was presented into my life my first thought was that yoga would not challenge me or give me the intense work out I was used to.
My first Hot Yoga class changed my life and the direction my life was headed. I was surprised by how challenging the yoga class was and how great I felt during and after the hot class, this feeling still continues today.
Today I am working in the Massage field and Yoga industry! I feel very blessed to share my love of yoga with all the wonderful people I have met along the way. Yoga has enriched my life in many ways but the one most important part of this journey is the connections and friendships I have made along this path. I hope to share with many more and to learn from them as well.
