Ashtanga Yoga Raleigh

Owner/Director of Ashtanga Yoga Raleigh.

Lorie was first introduced to yoga as a complement to marathon training, but as life evolved, so did her relationship with the practice.

Several years ago, unexpected health challenges turned my world upside down, but through it all, yoga remained a constant source of strength & healing, helping her maintain both physical and mental resilience.

She traveled to Koh Phagan, Thailand, to study with Vari Morales and in 2021, joined the AYSR community. Later, she began apprenticing under her mentor and teacher, Stacy Ingham. She continued practicing, studying, and teaching alongside Stacy until July 2024, when Stacy relocated to Belgium, entrusting the AYSR community to her.

Lorie is passionate about every aspect of this practice—from the quiet, meditative rhythm of movement synchronized with breath, to the rich traditions of philosophy, chanting, and self-inquiry that form its foundation.

For her, this practice feels like coming home to herself. and sharing its transformative teachings as well as supporting others on their own journeys brings her immense joy.
