I recommend Lara for her healthful approach to the total individual and highly recommend her for anyone looking for a safe and healthy training program.

From the strongest competitive athlete, to the amateur strength trainer, or people like me who are just trying to stay one step ahead of the natural aging process. Lara is a power house.

Deciding to train with Lara was one of the best decisions I made all year. Her style of training not only helped my physical health but also my mental health. She has given me the tools to reach all of my fitness goals. I have only been working with her for 6 months and I have lost almost thirty pounds and I have dropped two jean sizes. She is the best trainer I have ever worked with!

Nearly three years ago I met with Lara to try yoga, which I knew nothing about. I had terrible back issues and would try anything to get relief. As months went on we worked mainly on stretches for my back, then progressed up to more intense stretched and yoga postures. Every session Lara would really study what I needed next. Session after session I became more flexible than ever and had me doing things I never thought were possible. To my surprise yoga with Lara was much more than just being flexible and getting into yoga postures! She has helped me “center” my life. Although it hasn’t been easy; Lara would always encourage me to go beyond my expectations! Because of Lara, I have the knowledge and confidence to take my life back and be freed from pain! Namaste!

I have been working with Lara for over 6 years. Her welcoming and supportive personality makes the accountability aspect easy because I look forward to seeing her for each of our workouts.

Lara can come up with diverse workouts to target any area of the body very quickly. Whatever needs work, Lara only needs to look at you to able to make personalized adaptations to meet your specific workout needs. She not only knows how to use gym equipment to its full potential, but can also give you routines to work on trouble areas on your own at home, providing and encouraging independence.

I sought Lara out in order to get fit before my first pregnancy. When I was pregnant she was still able to effortlessly cue a yoga class with prenatal modifications for me.

Lara has a wealth of knowledge in not only physical fitness, but also areas of diet, healthy lifestyle choices, channeling and directing positive energy, and even myofascial and neuromuscular health.

She’s the complete package and that
Makes her an effective trainer and wonderful friend.

I have had 3 other personal trainers since I was age 43 and Lara is a lovely person as well as an excellent trainer.

She keeps my workouts interesting, up to date and fun. She also knows yoga which helped me tremendously when my husband fought cancer for five months last year.

Her work outs have helped me also with the stress of living by myself. I would strongly recommend her as a trainer to anyone.

Her ability and skill turned an admittedly skeptical individual into a firm believer and dedicated practitioner of yoga.

Lara doesn’t teach yoga, she gives you a way to learn from yourself.

Costa Rica..I wanted a week to hang out on the beach and do a bunch of yoga. From the minute we arrived it was clear that my expectations were set way too low because this retreat was set up to be much richer than a postcard vacation. We had an interesting, active, spontaneous group of people whose paths would not have crossed without Lara at the center. Every day was a combination of physical yoga practice, spiritual exploration, and adventure around Costa Rica. Some of it was easy, some was confusing, some was painful, and everything was valuable.

Lara makes yoga fun because she likes to challenge people in new ways – challenge her back!
