MoreAbout Yogasphere' Yogasphere was born from a desire to provide the Newtown and surrounding community a dedicated and serene space for the practice of Yoga. Drawing from her business experience, Laura Rothstein put the plans in motion to make this desire a reality. In 2005, Laura partnered with Kirin Mishra ( Parvathi ) to create Yogasphere. Inspired by Laura's dynamic vision of offering an array of yoga, Kirin felt this was in keeping with the integrity of the ancient wisdom of yoga. About Laura Rothstein Laura was raised in Orange County, California. After graduating from Drexel University in 1989 with a BS in Finance and Commerce/Engineering, she lived for a brief time in Center City before settling in Newtown, Pa in 1992. Laura held the position of IBM Client Representative prior to becoming a founding partner of KOR Group Inc, an IBM Business Partner Firm. After the birth of her fourth child, Laura decided to make the change and stay at home with her young children. It was during this time that she was reintroduced to Yoga and discovered Vinyasa Flow style classes. She began to study traditional Ashtanga Yoga and completed a teachers training under David Swenson. Laura is a graduate of the Saraswati River Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship Program and continues to study with Parvathi Ananda Nath and train in the unique Ayurveda, Hatha, Tantra Teacher Training offered at Yogasphere. Laura truly believes that her practice and study of Yoga has helped make her a better mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend through living a strong, mindful, and balanced life. As a student, Laura feels honored to have such caring, warm and exceptionally qualified instructors in the Yogasphere family and is equally honored to have the opportunity to share these instructors with the community. Laura would like to extend a special thank you to Parvathi for her wisdom and insight as a friend and teacher. About Kirin Mishra Kirin Mishra ( Parvathi Nanda Nath Saraswati ) brings the ancient and timeless tradition of the Saraswati Masters to America. Born in Bihar India, she came to this country as a young girl, bringing with her the lineage and tradition of the Saraswati River Yoga Masters. A tradition that merged in the mountains of Kashmir with the great and original teachings of the yoginis and later traveled North into China and Tibet as Chan and Dzogchen, and East and South as Shakti Sadhana. The direct teachers of Kirin were in the unbroken lineage of Kashmirian yoginis and Shree Vidya, the highest yogic science. This tradition has never been for renunciates; it is and was practiced by those living in the world. In Kashmirian yoga, a yogini is understood a practitioner ( female or male ) who is one with what s/he is doing, perceiving, feeling. A yogin is the one who is in awe and wonder of this relationship. While this tradition is predominantly a non-postural yoga style, Kirin studied asana with Indian masters in order to integrate this branch of yoga into the beauty and perfection of the Saraswati River tradition. Kirin began studying the texts and languages of this tradition as a young girl. Lalleshwari of Odyyagiri ( Lalita Devi ), a yogini from Kashmir initiated and oversaw her training into the wisdom lineage of yoga practice. This lineage of yoga emerged in the beautiful mountaintops of Kashmir and verdant river valley of ancient Western India. It is a tradition that is intrinsically in harmony with Nature and seeks to fulfill the beauty of the ascent of humanity to Divinity. The texts, stories and mantras are ripe with the poetic vision of ones in accord with nature, and knowing the proper relationships of the universe. LessPhone: (215) 579-6130
