Loren Altura

Strong woman and strong teacher!

Loren is a wonderful instructor. Her classes always help me to be more mindful of the postures ensuring that I get the right adjustments and get as deep in to the posture as I'm comfortable with.

She's very devoted to the practice and leading a healthy class. It is very easy to see this in her teaching.

Loren Altura is a great yoga teacher. She has detailed instruction regarding anatomy and performs incredibly effective adjustments during practice. She encourages proper alignment and it makes me a better student be more committed to my practice.

I love Loren's classes! She has awesome music and a dynamic bold sequence. I always learn something new and come away from class inspired by her and my feelow yogis but also and most importantly MYSELF. She has strong clear guidance and cuing for safety and gives many hands on adjustments as needed. I look forward to my time on the mat with her every week and always walk away feeling invigorated and strong.

Loren is a warm, inspired and gifted yogi. Each of her classes is different from the next, but each class flows beautifully, all the way to savasana. Loren knows how to adapt and adjust her teachings in function of her students' abilities. She is truly dedicated to yoga and it shows!
Namaste.

Loren is excellent -- she has fair expectations for your level of practice, and a very calming & positive attitude that I always appreciate! I always look forward to her class!

Loren is a superb teacher, mixing her vast experience with a focused approach to all aspects of yoga. I look forward to her classes and always feel inspired and revived after attending.

Being a new yoga student, Loren has great energy but is calming and willing to take time to help me learn at my own pace.

It was a pleasure being on your classes.

I have had the honor of practicing Vinyasa Level 2/3 under the instruction of Loren Altura at Embrace Yoga in Terra Linda. Loren is an amazing yoga teacher! She encourages students to push their comfort zones in a safe and supportive environment. Her classes are challenging but rewarding, and she takes the time to make adjustments to ensure proper alignment. If you want to take your practice to the next level, I highly recommend Loren. Her classes are fun and informative, accompanied by a great music playlist! Thank you Loren! Namaste.

Thank you Loren. Every class is a great class, I always want to keep coming back.

Loren is a great.
You can tell she is very experienced and her classes flow very well

Loren is without question my favorite yoga instructor. Her classes inspire me to focus more and work harder. I get my best workouts in her classes. She knows what a class needs and tailors the experience to match. I look forward to my next class with her!

Loren has a perfect balance of demonstrating and explaining the poses. She creates a safe and sacred space that allows students to go very deep into their practice. Her hands on adjustments are amazing!!!

I have only been to Loren's class a couple of times but I really enjoy being in her class. She is the best teacher. I hope I can go more often.

Loren is a dedicated yogini and wonderful teacher. Her cues are clear and concise, she teaches with the safety of the students in mind, and she brings her own style to the class through music and sequencing. She's there for her students 100%. She's not one of those teachers who just stands at the front of the room doing her own practice - she looks and walks around making sure everyone is supported in the class. I felt great in my body after taking loren's class!

Loren is a fantastic instructor! My body and mind always feel much better after her class. Great stretching but also incorporates spirituality.

I enjoy my classes with Loren. I like that she takes her time to move through her sequencing and isn't just rushing through everything like some many teachers do. I also like that there is some spirituality but it's not heavy, so it certainly does not feel odd. A positive movement experience.

I have practiced yoga for over 20 years and practiced with Loren for a long time -- she is a great teacher, very patient and thoughtful and fully engaged in helping beginners learn and providing more advanced students with appropriate corrections when needed and desired.

Won't be disappointed!

I look forward to Monday yoga classes with Loren. She does such a great job of making each of her classes different, focusing on the third eye one week and the back the next. Loren's voice is soothing and I also appreciate how she explains the meaning of the words and poses in yoga while giving tips on how to get into and out of poses. It always feels really good take her class.

I have recently returned to yoga ans Loren is one of my favorite teachers ( at the Marin Y ). I generally enjoy her style. I also enjoy her music!

I am new to yoga and Loren's teaching puts me at ease. She makes the whole experience fun and challenging and I feel like I learn a lot. She strikes a good balance between spiritual and physical.

We feel very fortunate to have Loren on our staff! She is joyful and engaging. Body Focused and Very Spiritual- Loren's strengths are very balanced. She creates a warm and inviting atmosphere.

I love Loren's relaxed, yet balanced approach to yoga. She's an excellent teacher. Combining her wealth of knowledge with her beautiful & loving personality- creates a setting & atmosphere that I find so comfortable. She has helped guide me, not only in class, but thru setting intentions that I try to live by daily. I highly recommend her as a teacher & mentor for your yoga practice.
