On today's episode, Dr. Lara Heimann talks about how she transitioned from her traditional PT career path and became a Yoga sensation combining her clinical expertise with yoga leading to her LYT Method. We discuss how she has helped thousands of people get back to what they love to do, the state of physical therapy, and the business of yoga
Drawing from her background as a Physical Therapist, Lara has combined her love of anatomy, creative movement, and functional training to develop LYT (Lara’s Yoga Technique) YOGA, a powerful, challenging flow style that emphasizes anatomy, alignment, and intelligent sequencing.
Movement has always been Lara’s favorite form of medicine, beginning with her early years as an athlete and dancer. She graduated from Duke University with a BS in Biological Anthropology and Anatomy and a MA in Physical Therapy, worked as a Physical Therapist and began teaching yoga in 1996. With her postgraduate specialization in neurological training, she learned the importance of the brain in remapping more optimal movement and daily habits. Lara’s passion for yoga transformed into a career and sparked a personal mission to help her students find their source of inner strength and a deeper understanding of the brain-body connection.
Lara has an online movement platform, LYT Daily with over 800 classes, an international online teacher training for both 200 and 500 hours, and a podcast, “Redefining Yoga” with over 3 million downloads. As a wellness enthusiast and a certified natural food chef, she can often be found mixing it up in the kitchen or playing outdoors with her family.
