Instructor

Lori Taft Sours brings the benefits of slow, mindful yoga to those seeking greater balance, peace, and resilience. She is passionate about guiding people to develop tools for increasing their vibrancy and living well every day.

A Certified Yoga Teacher since 2014, Lori offers an alternative to fast, fitness-based yoga through her emphasis on building nervous system resilience and increasing her students’ ability to navigate the highs and lows of life.

As a 25-year cancer survivor, Lori knows first-hand what it takes to live with the worry of a recurring (or new) health crisis, the feeling of vulnerability that brings, and the need to be well and to find inner peace each and every day. She brings that experience into her teaching as she gives people tools to manage in difficult times and believe they have some agency over how they respond to life's events.

Lori holds a PhD in linguistics and has 30 years of experience in higher education where she specialized in adult learning. She is committed to making learning accessible and clear to all students, including those who may be new to yoga.

Lori is a registered yoga teacher RYT500 with Yoga Alliance, with over 970 hours of yoga teaching experience. Her practice and teaching are inspired by the Viniyoga tradition, Subtle Yoga, and yoga therapy. She has specialized certification in slow, mindful yoga, with additional training in yoga for healthy aging, breathing practices, and meditation in the yoga tradition.

With her conviction that we all have the ability – and the right – to seek health, wellness, and vibrancy, Lori founded Consider Yoga to guide people to create sustainable practices for self-care and wellness through slow, mindful yoga.
