Lore Kent completed her 200–hour Yoga Certification at Center Point Yoga Studio in New York City. More recently, in 2008, she completed a 25–hour Chair Yoga Certification, Lakshmi Voelker Chair Yoga, at Kripalu Yoga Center in Lenox, Massachusetts. Lore attributes her passion for Chair Yoga and her acquired expertise to Lakshmi's wonderful Chair Yoga Program.
For over six years, Lore dedicated her practice solely to Ashtanga, continuously practicing with Long Island Ashtangi, Adam Dobbs. Lore developed a comprehensive understanding for the Ashtanga system while furthering her love and appreciation for the practice. Lore also completed a seven day Ashtanga Intensive with David Swenson and worked with other Ashtanga gurus, such as David Williams and Richard Freeman.
Lore then started branching out and exploring other yoga disciplines. Taking various intensive workshops over the years with Anusara Yogini Desiree Rumbaugh, Lore has come to embrace the alignment principles of Anusara Yoga. These Anusara alignment principles are weaved into many of Lore’s yoga classes. Movement and Yoga Queen Shiva Rea embraces movement as a yogic art form and working with her has impacted the flow, grace and creativity in Lore’s "Vinyasa" style yoga classes. Completing a three day retreat with David Life and Sharon Gannon, creators of Jivamukti Yoga, impacted Lore’s belief system as they both cherish Ahimsa (the Sanskrit word for non–violence). It is a truly enlightening concept to practice yoga with a sense of non–violence, honoring your body and all living creatures on the planet. Power yogis such as Anna Forrest and Baron Baptiste have contributed to Lore’s Power Yoga classes and her Upper Body and Core classes. And after taking a seven day intensive in Tulum, Mexico with Edward Clark, (who is the creator of the Yoga Dance Troupe, Tripsichore) Lore has certainly added a playful approach to arm balancing and inversions!
"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us."
