Louanne Lawson has been practicing yoga in various forms since her hair was dark. She was introduced to asana practice by Lilias Folan on public television. She used Richard Hittleman’s “28-Day Yoga” and Bikram’s “Beginning Yoga Class” to learn yoga as geometric form. She has studied with a number of local teachers, including Lynn Frazier, Nell Weaver, and Cliff Riggs, and each of these and other teachers offered challenges and opportunities for growth. When she met Matt and Holly at Barefoot she found what she didn’t know she was looking for: that yoga as action – both on and off the mat – answered a deep yearning, a yearning for stability, for ease in transition, for balance. As a teacher trainee, Louanne communicates a clear recognition of integrity in connection. She is honored to be a member of the Barefoot family.
