I have a love for helping people find a more balanced place in their own body and seeking to create a joyful experience to enrich both the body and the spirit. After a very severe accident I could no longer walk across a room. It took a year for my body to heal and relearn how to walk. Because of that, I began to see a deeper value in my Yoga & Pilates practice.
I used exercises- both physical and mental from Yoga & Pilates to design my own physical therapy. One year after my healing I was able to compete in the Siesta Key Triathlon, validating the benefits of these wonderful exercises. Seeing the deeper benefits of these exercise forms inspired me to become an instructor. I wanted to share what I had experienced and the joy of movement. I went through my YogaFit 200RYT training. Continuing my education further by studying with many of top instructors. My teaching was most influenced by my work with Kino MacGregor (ashtanga yoga) and Jason Crandall (Iyengar Yoga). For 10+ years I studied weekly with Jaye Martin at Garden of the Heart Yoga in the Anusara style of yoga. My Pilates journey began with Peak Pilates and then continued with Kathi Ross-Nash at The Red Thread Ranch and Amy Taylor Alpers and Rachel Taylor Segel at The Pilates Center. For 15+ years I studied weekly with my mentor Connie Borho, Peak Pilates Master Trainer. I have had the privilege to study with Lolita San Miguel and Sonje Mayo, both first generation Pilates instructors (people who studied directly with Joseph Pilates). As well as many wonderful 2nd generation instructors who studied directly with Romana. I am classically trained and forever curious. This work is endless and wonderfully adaptable to the bodies abilities and challenges that day. A lifelong exploration. Years later I had honor of meeting Patrick Mummy and becoming certified as a Symmetry AignSmart Practitioner. Being able to add measurable metrics to my programming and corrective exercise routines has been amazing. It as It doesn't matter where you are at today, you can only start from where you are. The important thing is that you start the journey. Contact me to start your journey!

I have worked with LaRae for many years with one-on-one sessions as well as her Pilates classes.
The one-on-one sessions have given me many gifts. LaRae has extensive knowledge of the human body and the way
it connects together and can offer many ways to utilize her equipment in order to begin the healing process of how to hold my body
and make corrections with my posture. LaRae is gentle and demonstrates movements and makes adjustments if I arrive with an injury.
Through LaRae’s excellent skills and awareness, I have become more connected to my body and she has teamed with me to open
up my heart, my core, my spine. I have improved my posture, how I carry my body, and each week we go deeper into skills so that I can
be of optimum health and well-being.
LaRae is not only a teacher but a healer and she has excellent teaching skills and insights into the human body. I am grateful and I would
recommend her to anyone who is seeking better health and healing of their body
