"We come together to nourish each other through quality time. We come together to learn, relate, heal and grow. We work together to develop a profound awareness of the body, breath, and mental landscape. Through this humbling and honest work we become more aware of our patterns, obstacles and gifts. This new awareness helps us to bring all areas of our lives into harmony and balance." - Laura Frank
Laura founded Inner Space, a yoga, martial arts and healing center in Kansas City in 2013. Laura’s classes provide the space to align in the body, focus the mind, connect with spirit and unravel tension and trauma. Laura's practice blends various meditation techniques, yoga postures (asana), yogic movement (vinyasa), qi gong, mini lectures on ayurveda and yogic philosophy, chanting and sound healing. There is no template or plan as these practices are largely inspired by the time of day, season, environmental influences and the needs of the participants present. It is perfectly fine and beneficial, however, to do these practices at any time. She is known for her singing and chanting at the end of her classes to help support the integration of the work done in class.
Laura's background is in performing arts; experimental theatre, music and dance. She completed her yoga teacher certification with the White Lotus Foundation but her yoga teachings are most influenced by her teachers Prema Mayi, Geetanjali Tiwari and Balaram Chandra das.
