LAURIE JORDAN

Laurie Jordan is the Director of Kids Programming at Kaia Yoga and the creator of Little Sprouts Yoga for kids. She is the author of YAWNING YOGA: A GOODNIGHT BOOK FOR A GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP based on her successful bedtime yoga series, Yawning Yoga and she has a large private practice, working with folks of all ages. Laurie shares her expertise on all things kids yoga as a contributing writer for Elephant Journal. She has a Masters in Social Work from Columbia University School of Social Work and is a certified yoga instructor for children and adults through BE YOGA (now YOGA WORKS), KAIA YOGA, KARMA KIDS YOGA, the YOGA LEARNING CONNECTION, and CIRCUS YOGA. Laurie has also studied Thai Yoga Massage with the good folks from Lotus Palm and Yin Yoga with Joe Barnett. 

Laurie took her first yoga class when she was 15 but the experience left a nasty taste in her mouth. She was kicked out for laughing at the instructors mantra, “feel the honey golden light in your...unmentionables” Eeww. 

Who would have thought that all these years later, that “honey golden” moment would be the one that influences her teaching the most? (Or at the very least, that it serves as a reminder to never say anything as hippy- dippy and dorky as that–and to always, always keep it real.)

Laurie’s classes are a refreshing departure from the idea that yoga must be very serious and almost no fun at all. On the contrary, her classes combine her playful sense of humor and laid back approach with years of experience as both a yoga teacher and yoga student. Add to that mix, an awesome music soundtrack–and Laurie’s classes feel like a 75 minute celebration. 

Laurie is available for private sessions and teaches at Kaia Yoga.
