Lore Kent has been studying, practicing and living the yoga philosophy since 1999. Lore became a Certified Yoga Instructor at Center Point Yoga Studio, NYC. More recently, Lore became certified in Chair Yoga and was overwhelmed by the number of people that were missing out on the benefits of yoga — simply because they could not practice yoga on a mat!
Most recently, Lore has teamed up with Long Island Yoga School. Lore is one of the instructors for the 200 and 300–hour Teacher Training courses given by Long Island Yoga School. She brings her expertice in Chair Yoga to the Teacher Trainings and teaches a module on "Inversions and Arm Balancing".
Lore has been a practicing Ashtangi from the onset of her personal practice and has been privately studying with one of Long Island’s most knowledgeable and evolved Ashtanga yogis, Adam Dobbs.
Lore enjoys teaching Vinyasa Flow (movement and breath) to beginner, intermediate and advanced yogis. Ashtanga yoga is the heart and soul of her practice and Lore loves any opportunity to share Ashtanga yoga privately, in a group or Mysore style. Becoming more and more involved with alignment principles through discovering Anusara Yoga, Lore incorporates a great deal of the Anusara alignment principles into her classes. Additionally, Lore utilizes a variety of yoga postures to offer an energetic and invigorating Power Core and Upper Body Workout.
Prior to teaching yoga, Lore created and founded Music–in–MeTM, a music and movement program that allowed young children the freedom to create and connect with their imaginations through musical play and dramatic movement. For sixteen years, Lore worked with young children, allowing them the freedom to create and connect with their imaginations through musical play and dramatic movement. Lore taught her "Music–in–Me" program at her own studios as well as at the Great Neck Arts Center, touching countless children throughout the Long Island area.
Lore believes that reaching out and helping others is rooted in the yogic philosophy. She has done numerous charitable events and outreach programs in her community. Her most accredited event started out as a grass roots Walk–Run for Winthrop Hospital’s Cancer Center for Kids. Lore created and then co–chaired this event for six years — in which time it became a very prosperous fund–raising event for the Cancer Center as well as an event that the entire community in Great Neck and surrounding areas lovingly supported.
One of Lore's greatest passions is hiking and trekking in the mountains throughout the world, including the Himalayas, the Alps, the Dolomites, the Patagonia, and the Rockies. When Lore has only a few hours to run to the hills, Cold Spring Harbor is her favorite Long Island hike! Lore feels most free and connected to her spirituality and inner–self when surrounded by the awe and magnificence of the mountains. Lore strives to always bring that sense of freedom, energy and spirituality to her yoga classes.
"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
