Laura Huang began studying yoga in 1988 and has been a dedicated student at Mainstreet Yoga for several years. She attended the 2007 Iyengar Yoga National Convention, where she studied directly with Geeta Iyengar. Laura has a background in ballet which began in her youth when she danced and performed with a ballet company, then later taught ballet classes. As a collegiate athelete she competed in cross country and track where she set a school record in the 5K. Her active background has given her a good understanding of a student's physical needs and challenges. Laura's devoted study and practice of Iyengar yoga, as well as training from senior Iyengar teachers, has enabled her to share her experience and knowledge with fellow students. She is excited about teaching and helping students new to yoga begin their practice.
