My name is Laura Hernandez<\/strong> and I am the founder and owner of Yoga & Movement.<\/p>\n My mission is aligned with my deep desire to offer the place, encouragement, and support necessary for my students to undertake and pursue their own inner journey.<\/p>\n I am a mother, mentor, trainer of teachers and creator of well-being. I share a patient nature, compassion and calmness that I have developed during my studies and over time.<\/p>\n It goes without saying that my teaching and practice are influenced by the richness of the Mayan lineage from which I come, other knowledge that distinguishes and influences my overall approach.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tFull bio<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t Trained and certified (Ashtanga Studio Montreal<\/em>, 2002). I have been teaching and practicing yoga for over 23 years. Over the years, I have accumulated more than 1500 hours of training and teaching. Before becoming a studio owner, I had the privilege of teaching at various studios in Montreal (Ashtanga Studio in Montreal, Yoga Yoga and Yoga World) and in <\/em>the Eastern Townships.<\/p>\n I have received training in aromatherapy, nutrition, various schools of somatic movement such as the Feldenkrais Method and the Franklin Method. I also trained in water massage.\u00a0My approach is holistic, and thus, I lead my students to increase their strength and flexibility (both physical and mental).<\/p>\n Before moving to Canada and founding Yoga & Movement, I studied interpretation and translation as well as international business. I worked as an international economic development officer from my homeland in Mexico. It goes without saying that a career of this nature came with great challenges, stress, competition, and pressure to always perform more and better. So, when yoga came into my life in 1995, I quickly felt the physical effects of postures and meditation.<\/p>\n In 2000, at the peak of my career, I decided to move abroad in order to escape an increasingly threatening national insecurity. Being in a welcoming land motivated my desire to pursue the passion that I had. I had discovered the benefits of mind-body approaches, and I wanted to continue studying the body, movement and personal development. It was the beginning of a journey that still inspire me.<\/p>\n In my new life, yoga quickly became the main pillar of my well-being, and as a result, my perception of this discipline changed. I wasn’t “doing Yoga anymore”, I was “living Yoga”.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\tOther teaching experiences<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tExpand<\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t (Excluding teachings and workshops at the Yoga & Movement studio)<\/p>\n Pilates on mat Instructor<\/strong>, AMP Anne McMillan Pilates, Montr\u00e9al<\/p>\n In training<\/p>\n Cancer Exercise Specialist Advanced Qualification,<\/strong> CETI Cancer Education Training Institute U.S.A.<\/p>\n Continuing Education in Oncology Yoga<\/strong>, Radika Foundation, Spain.
