About Laura Allard-Antelmi

She is an Intermediate Jr III Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructor and has been teaching Iyengar Yoga continuously since 1987.

She is the Founder and Director of the Iyengar Yoga Center of Boulder, Colorado, and an Assessor for the Iyengar Yoga National Certification Committee and is an adjunct professor of anatomy at Naropa University in Boulder Colorado. Laura is an expert in the application of Iyengar Yoga for therapeutic means and regularly studies in India with B.K.S. Iyengar and Geeta Iyengar, as well as many senior instructors in the United States.

Laura's workshops involve using clay to build body parts on skeletons as well as working on the yoga mat with postures so that students feel the muscles they will build on models with clay. This approach gives participants both visual and experiential understanding of the structures and systems they are studying.

Laura's diverse knowledge and experience makes her teaching both lucid and penetrating. Her clarity of presentation gives yoga teachers and students of yoga a powerful way to discover the human body, its beauty and intelligence, and a lasting knowledge based in direct experience to apply in their practice and teaching.
