Lora is no stranger to the health and wellness field or working with children. Over the past 10 years, she has worked as a pediatric nurse, a licensed massage therapist with certifications in many modalities in pediatrics, a certified RYT 200 and RCYT 95. 

Lora is passionate about connecting the mind, body and spirit in mindfulness each day through everyday experiences on and off the mat. She believes these teachings become a toolbox of coping skills children will use for a lifetime. Lora enjoys observing the kids making connections with other like-minded children, seeing them take the practice off the mat and spread their new skills to their friends, schools and community.

Lora is proud to be one of the instructors teaching kids yoga at our Dubuque Studio. She has taught several classes over the years including: Kids Yoga, Boys Yoga, and YogArt Camps.

She is a proud former foster parent and enjoys spending time with her three children (2 adopted) and her husband and blended family.
