Laura Elsey

International Partnerships Director

Laura is both a proud American and a proud Brit!  Living and working in Washington, DC since 2002, Laura found herself suddenly living in Philly, unable to work and going through a divorce, a CPTSD diagnosis, and Covid; she says that her 200-Hr Yoga Teacher-Training course with Dhyana Yoga truly saved her mental and physical health.  Laura met Steven during the yoga training and, after finding out more about his goals, she wanted to help in any way possible. As a leader, mentor, advocate, and fundraiser within the non-profit world, Laura wants to bring her skills to Yoga 4 Philly and Yoga 4 The World, so that ALL might share in the benefits of yoga, meditation, and breath work.  As a mother to four grown-up kids, Laura is particularly interested in finding funding for our pre-natal and school programs, both within Philly and internationally.  Laura is a born connector and collaborator and would love for you to reach out on LinkedIn and start a conversation ☺
