BOSTON MARATHON 2020

In 2019 Laura ran the Boston Marathon on behalf of Flying Kites . A non profit that in partnership with Kenya’s Ministry of Education and other non-profit organizations, supports a network of resource-poor primary schools as they work to ignite learning and improve student outcomes. After raising over 10k in 2019 and having the honor of visiting the kids and the campus that fall she decided to run for them in 2020 as well. *Due to COVID-19 the Marathon has been postponed until September 14, 2020

YING YANG RETREAT

In March of 2020 Laura hosted her first international YOGA/HIP HOP DANCE retreat with her longtime friend and Boston Fitness Instructor Jessie Alegria. Together they brought a group of 15 to the beautiful city of Cartagena, Colombia where they were together as a group able to break throw boundaries, fears, celebrate each other and experience the colorful culture of Colombia. Some participants had never traveled abroad. Some were yogis but had never danced. Some were dancers but were unfamiliar with yoga. Some came to work through limitations and some came to celebrate themselves. Together they danced there way through local salsa clubs, scuba dived, mediated, journaled, learned to salsa and left with 14 new friends and a lifetime of memories.
