{Laura teaches yoga to some very cute children}
Yoga has been a large part of my physical and emotional healing.
I have been into yoga for about eight years.
Six months prior to the accident,
I had an opportunity to instruct at a boutique in downtown Mesa, AZ.
In 2004, I was introduced to yoga by my dear friend Laura Harper.
We were neighbors and became fast friends.
When I moved to New Jersey, I missed Laura's yoga class tremendously.
I did the best I could to keep it up and often practiced in my basement-
{with my girls too} After the accident, we moved back to Provo and
Laura and I picked yoga back up and she helped me heal.
My body stretched in ways it hadn't in a really long time. It felt so good.
Laura is from South Africa and her accent is mesmerizing!
She is an amazing instructor who teaches yoga
in such a beautiful and natural way.
She has taught me to listen to my body and strengthen my mind.
Since practicing with Laura after the accident,
I am more flexible and patient with myself and my children.

Laura has put together a DVD of fun yoga stories to do with children
and Claire and Jane make an appearance!
