"Larissa is that special teacher who truly embodies mindfulness, pranayama, and yoga as a way of life.

She openly shares her steady dedication to her own practice as a way to both live beautifully and navigate life’s challenges, which inspires me to regularly commit to my own practice. The open-heartedness and acceptance I feel from her has allowed me to explore and heal some of the deepest parts of myself while feeling tenderly protected. I feel fortunate to have found such a special teacher."

"With Larissa, it’s more than just technique, because what she imparts is grounded in a thorough awareness of both the history and philosophy of meditative practice.

I have taken some great yoga and meditation classes with Larissa, but it was in a seminar about how proper breath control can enhance public performance that she really spoke to me. Among other breathing techniques, she taught me nadi shodhana (alternate-nostril breathing), and I have used it ever since when needing to ground myself and help place my voice when getting ready for rehearsal, auditioning, or before going onstage or in front of the camera. She’s the real deal."

"Larissa teaches with clarity and passion, making the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda approachable and experiential through body practice.

I am grateful for how her teachings empower me to choose what makes me balanced and nourished, while influencing how I teach yoga to fit the needs of the students based on different seasonal energies here in Japan. I love how Larissa brings Ayurveda and yoga together--she has greatly influenced how I teach.

"I consider myself very lucky to have discovered Larissa's teachings at the beginning of my Ayurveda journey.

We spent several months doing 1:1 Zoom consultations; her incredible knowledge on everything from theory & principles, to lifestyle, herbs, dosha-balancing foods, and especially yoga now form the foundation of my own approach to living this ancient system of health & medicine. I first contacted Larissa during a difficult time when feeling quite off-balance. By the time our package sessions concluded, I noticed a definite and positive shift! I consider myself lucky to work with her and I look forward to continuing."
