The Yoga Newbie Online Course - September 2022
Have you been wanting to get into yoga, but you feel stuck and unsure how to get started?
Believe me, I know exactly how you feel! I created this 3-week online course to help you learn what you need to know to feel educated and empowered to take on the yoga world.
I’ve packed this course full of helpful information, checklists, tips, and practical information to get you feeling ready to yoga at home or in a studio.
Work at your own pace! The course materials are accessible to you forever, so there’s no pressure to rush.
I'll personally guide you through:
Sorting through your feelings and experiences so you can start off grounded and with clarity about what you need from your yoga practice
Learning about the most common forms of yoga and the 8 limbs that make up the practice so you know what you’re talking about
Finding a studio and yoga teacher that’s the right fit for you to get your needs met with respect and dignity
Exploring expectations for class, typical class structures, common etiquette, and weird yoga stuff you don’t know until you experience it
Experimenting with yoga props and finding accessible options for you to use whether you’re practicing alone or in a class with others
This live facilitated course is a safe space to ask questions, connect with other newbies, and try yoga in a no pressure supportive environment! You get access to resources you can come back to over and over again - the materials are yours forever.
To support and engage you during this course, you'll have access to the following:
A private Facebook group where you can share your thoughts and discuss topics with the other participants in a nonjudgmental, safe space with other newbies
Journal prompts, handouts, and recorded videos to help you find the answers and information you’ve been looking for about how to access the power of yoga
Daily live videos with Laura where you can chat, ask questions, learn about yourself, or just exist with other folks who are on the same journey as you
Weekly Q+A/social hangouts where you can ask any questions you have or just hang out and socialize
Weekly yoga practices you can attend live or stream/download the recordings to use again and again
FAQS
Do I have to be there live for the videos?
Absolutely not! The daily check-ins, weekly hangouts, and weekly yoga practices will be scheduled so you can attend live via Zoom if you want, but the recordings will be posted in the private FB group for you to watch whenever your schedule allows. I designed this course to be very flexible and work for anyone’s schedule!
Ok, but I’m a for real beginner and have literally never tried yoga AT ALL. Will this be ok for me?
Heck yeah! This course was designed as if you know nothing about yoga at all. I love being folks’ first introduction to yoga and take it very seriously. This course will be great for complete beginners, but also good for those who have been away from the mat for a long time or are in the beginning stages of their yoga practice.
What do I need to buy to get started?
Nothing! We’ll discuss yoga props and equipment during the course, so don’t worry about buying anything to get ready. You’re already ready!

What are folks saying about the
4-week Yoga & Body Acceptance E-Course?
“The 30 day Yoga & Body Acceptance E-Course really opened me up to see the connection between yoga and body-love. I have continued to practice at home and feel really present in my body and positive.”
“As someone who is relatively new to yoga and working on developing more intention, Laura and this course really helped to focus me and help me begin to wrap my head around how to care for myself and my body through setting daily intentions and regular yoga practice.”
“This is a great course for anyone wanting to deepen their relationship with their body and ground themselves in a loving self-care practice. I’ve been practicing unapologetic radical self love and radical body love for a few years now but was feeling like that practice had stagnated. Through Laura’s course I was able to gain insights that radically shifted the way I think about my relationship with my body. Laura’s focus on self-compassion, both on and off the yoga mat, was just what I needed to pull myself lovingly out of stagnation and deepen my body love practice.”
“This course is perfect for anyone wanting to heal their relationship with their body, anyone who is wanting to learn about yoga for larger bodies or anyone who just wants some extra love and positivity and their life! Laura is a great facilitator and yoga instructor. I highly recommend this workshop!”
“The kind of yoga Laura has created is incredibly inclusive. It’s yoga for everyone, people who already have a practice, people who don’t, and especially for those who think that yoga isn’t for them. Laura finds ways to create loving and kind safe, accessible spaces that fufill the most needs possible.”
“I thoroughly enjoyed taking the e-course from Laura. It was just the gift of self-care that I needed to give to myself.”
