LORI PIRRI
she/her
Alignment-based
Lori has been teaching alignment based yoga since 2007, but has been a student of yoga her whole life. Her mom, a Sivananda yoga teacher, shared the practice, but it was only when Lori was dealing with her own life challenges that she fully embraced the practice. She discovered her own yoga passion while seeking a way to create stillness. She realized early on that, practiced consistently, yoga was a powerful tool to help her create physical, mental, and spiritual health.
Lori began training with Kate Coughlin with no intention of teaching, but the beauty and joy of practicing in a community blossomed into the beauty and joy of teaching and sharing in a community. Her grounded, cheerful nature invites students to practice awareness, and her classes blend alignment, strength, and humour. She is always learning and loves to explore new postures on and off the yoga mat, finding inspiration in nature, other teachers, and her students.
As a RYT-500, Lori has made contributions to the local yoga community working with physical therapists and chiropractors to support patient health through in-clinic wellness programs and creating donation-based yoga programs both in studio and outside.
