Laura Williams (spiritual name, Hari Arti) received her teaching certification from Kundalini Yoga East in Manhattan. She comes to teaching yoga after a fulfilling career as a newspaper reporter. "Kundalini Yoga is the ultimate multi-tasker's practice," Laura says. "In just one class, you get to work on the total you -- body, mind and spirit. Kundalini even works on the glands!" Laura has practiced and enjoyed many types of yoga, but was drawn to Kundalini because of the deep exhilaration she often felt during and after class. And she became a teacher because she wanted to share that with others. She also likes Kundalini's focus on meditation and mantra. Laura lives on Long Island with her husband and children.
