Bio
Lorraine started her yoga journey ten years ago at the age of 44. It began with just one class a week but it wasn’t long before she found herself returning to her mat more and more often. She craved the way yoga made her feel both physically and mentally. After practicing consistently for ten years she decided to jump into 200 Hour Teacher Training at the Yoga Loft in Wilmington, MA in the fall of 2020 and graduated in May of 2021. She also received her Level 1 Reiki Certification at that time. Her goal is to bring yoga to people who think they can’t do yoga. Her hope is that people come to her class, see her and realize that the images they have seen of “perfect” yogis are misleading. Her classes fall somewhere between beginner and advanced beginner with encouragement to use props and modification both up and down. She believes that humor, an open mind and a good play list are some of the keys to a good yoga class. Lorraine grew up in Somerville, raised her son Adam there and has previous teaching experience as a swim teacher and coach at the Somerville YMCA

Flow
Creative and fluid sequences, curated with an intentional anatomical or philosophical focus, explore the rhythm of body and breath while holding poses for several breaths. Cooling down with restorative poses. Perfect for those who like to explore each pose in a slower and deeper way, expect a slow to moderate pace with the potential for more challenging asanas, backbends, arm balances, or inversions.
