About Our Yoga Instruction

Laurissa Heller's experience with yoga and yoga instruction stretch back to her days in high school when she was first introduced through her hippie friends in the 1980's.  Yes there were hippies in the 80's.  As an adult, she was once again was introduced Tribal Tree Yoga Instructionnearly a decade ago, starting with her introduction to practice through Tina Lanzoni.  She took her 200 hr. teacher training through the Yoga Center of Columbia.  After teaching for a couple of years and learning a variety of yoga traditions she studied with Beryl Bender Birch, who has been teaching yoga for over 30 years.  She has now completed her 500 hrs as part of the Yoga Alliance requirements.

After learning more meditation techniques and working with her own practice, Laurissa began teaching meditation as part of her private yoga sessions, and as part of her classes.  She currently volunteers at the Wellness House in Annapolis.  The Wellness House offers services to patients who are currently being treated for cancer.  It is through the practice of meditation that she found the most profound growth in her life, along with the power of observation of her thoughts and actions.

Private Yoga Session

First Step

For people who are interested in learning yoga in the comfort of their own home this is a great opportunity.  This is also for clients who have specific areas that need to be worked.  Many of my clients who have back pain and are looking for relief, call for a private session.  We work the area with yoga and gentle adjustments and have had amazing results.  Privates are also for people who want complete focus on their needs for growth.

Yoga - Meditation Session

Next Steps

The session begins with postures that allow the body to begin to relax and open in preparation for meditation.  Meditation is the art of focus.  There are many ways to come to this place and everyone has their way, so we will work with the process to find one that fits your needs.  This practice has the potential to change your life in ways (brace yourself) that will make you happier.

Astrology Readings

As soon as you see the word astrology you have an idea of what that word means to you.  Let me explain that it is not some crystal ball, fortune-telling, black cat--don't go under the ladder reading.  It is only about looking at energy and traits that you have as part of your life path.  I do look at the planets as part of the reading to gather information about your process, but it does not tell me exactly what is going to happen. Mostly because, the most important factor is you and the choices you make.  Certain hurdles will come into your path and the planets will assist in showing what opportunities may come forth.
