Laurie Kinkel - Yoga

Laurie Kinkel has lived full-time on beautiful Tybee Island since 2001. She discovered yoga in 1997 while studying performing arts at Akron University in Ohio. She has evolved her practice and teaching ever since.

She received her RYT 200hr training with Marianne Wells Yoga School at the Goddess Garden Eco resort in Cahita, Costa Rica in 2017. There she gained knowledge from teacher Marianne Wells who, in the early 1980s, studied with B.K.S. Iyengar, the father of Iyengar yoga.

Iyengar yoga is alignment based yoga with the use of props to aid in performing asana. Since receiving her Iyengar yoga certification, she has added certified Pranayama training through Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda Institute. Pranayama is the yogic practice of focusing on the breath to elevate life energies.

She specializes in teaching many different classes on the beach and around Tybee & Savannah including all levels of Hatha yoga, full moon yoga, gentle yoga, kitten yoga, bachelorette yoga, senior yoga, and kids’ yoga.

Lauri is the founder of Tybee Yoga and Healing Arts.
