LARA WHISMAN
Lara lives in Newbury Park and has been a student of yoga for
10 years. She has been teaching private/group instruction
for 5 years. She has a deep understanding and much
compassion for those new to the practice and for those
with limited mobility. Having experienced back pain due
to severe Scoliosis since childhood, she was unable to
be free from back pain until discovering the healing
practice of yoga. After discovering this healing
practice, she was able to develop a newfound respect for
and acceptance of the physical body she was given. This
acceptance, in turn, created more space to nurture the
Spirit and quiet the mind. The infinite joy and freedom
discovered through this amazing practice and
through inspiration from her wonderful teachers led her
down the path to True Yoga's Teacher Training program in
2006.
She continues her love of learning
through self-study (svadhaya) and has attended many
immersions and workshops with wonderful instructors such
as Desiree Rumbaugh, Parusha Hickson, Lauren Peterson,
Saul David Raye, Erich Schiffmann, Paul Grilley, Scott
Blossom, Elise Miller, and others. In December of 2007,
she completed an advanced teacher training with renowned
back care and Scoliosis yoga instructor, Elise Miller.
This additional training allows her to work in a
therapeutic and safe manner with all students and, more
specifically, those who have limited mobility,
back injuries/misalignments, and scoliatic curvatures
Lara believes that yoga can be a truly healing and
therapeutic practice for all, one that allows us to
return to our blissful and peaceful natures while
healing the body, heart, mind, and spirit.
In addition, she has a MS in
Psychology and is a licensed Marriage and Family
Therapist, giving her a broad perspective of the human
condition. With attention to alignment and breath,
Lara's teaching style helps to quiet the mind and awaken
the spirit. She completed her teacher training at True
Yoga in 2006 and is a Registered Yoga Instructor at the
200hour level.
