Laruga Glaser

Laruga Glaser has been practicing Ashtanga yoga continuously for over 30 years. Starting as a young adult, she was immediately drawn to the practice after working with other forms of yoga years prior. Establishing a committed practice she then deepened her studies traveling to Mysore, India annually to practice at KPJAYI (later SYC), where the late Sri K. Pattabhi Jois taught and his late grandson, R. Sharath Jois continued teaching for many years. Laruga has made more than 20 trips to Mysore and is on a mission to continue to learn and grow as a student as well as a teacher. She is one of the few in the world who have been given the distinction of being certified to teach up to Advanced B, directly from her teacher R. Sharath Jois, which is not easily given and takes many years to earn. In this regard, she honors where the source of the practice comes from, continuing to respect and give high regard to the lineage we are blessed to experience in this transformative method. Through it all, Laruga teaches as an act of deep sharing and love for what yoga develops in each individual, facilitating space to open, challenge, and inspire those to realize their inherent potential, and has been personally invited all over the world to do so.
