Bloom Yoga & Fitness

Bloom Yoga & Fitness My name is Laura Martin, and I have been leading Fitness classes since 2006. Join me on the mat! I am so excited to share Yoga with my friends and family!

I am a full time teacher at White Hall Elementary School, but love to get in a great workout anytime I can. And everything's more fun with friends, so join me sometime! My Fitness Background:
In 2006, I began training to be a fitness instructor. After teaching Toning, Step, Kickboxing, Cycling and Boot Camp classes at Transylvania University and EKU, I found Yoga. Yoga felt so natural to me because it incorporates familiar elements of Gymnastics and Dance. At the time, I had completed my Primary Group Fitness Instructor Training through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, as well as initial trainings with YogaFit. In 2008, I completed my 200 hour Yoga Teacher Training with Erin Smith at the Om Place in Winchester, KY. Through the years, I have grown as an instructor thanks to incredible opportunities to connect with a group of fitness professionals, and folks that just enjoy a great workout. I currently teach classes at Fitness with Faith, Bluegrass Bliss Yoga & Bodywork, and privately to a group of hardworking ladies, and will continue to indefinitely as Bloom grows. Class details:
Classes are $5 per participant. In order to keep costs low, participants are asked to supply their own mat, blanket, and water. Classes will be scheduled in 8 week sessions, once a week to groups of 6 people or more. Choosing a location is very important; we can work together to do that. We can use privately owned businesses (after hours), basements (mine or yours), or maybe the largest room in your home (with the furniture pushed to the walls). I look forward to using Bloom Yoga & Fitness in a way that benefits our community. I would love to teach one time specialty classes, or host fundraisers. You can message me for more information. While Bloom only provides Yoga classes now, I hope to expand to Personal Training and Boot Camp style classes in the future. Let me know what you would like to try, and maybe we can work it out!

Hey Yoga Friends! I’m in a season with a little less Social Media. It’s been nice to fill my free time in other ways, but I still miss my online friends! Just had to stop and snap a picture of my trunk after a busy week of all kinds of yoga. I’m so thankful for the opportunity to share Yoga with a crowd of happy kids, and a motivated bunch of EKU students. 🧘🏻‍♀️❤️

Do you struggle to get comfortable with yoga? A Mat-less Salty Yoga class might just be the class for you! 🤪 *no kids allowed 😂😇

{Seriously, though, Yoga in 4 inches of Himalayan sea salt has been a lot of fun. Join us tomorrow night for a Vinyasa flow style class with lots of opportunities for deep breathing, and 45 minutes of Halotherapy. Expect the full sensory experience; hand towels provided. A sense of adventure welcome!}

📸 My husband snapped this picture a few weeks ago while I was sequencing an inversion class, trying to fly under radar in my kids’ playroom. Unsuccessfully.

Hey Folks! Our Salty Yoga session for October start tomorrow! Join us at 6pm. No mats needed. ✨🧘🏻‍♀️

My favorite things about this class are the unique sensory feeling that comes with a little fun in the salt AND the easy breathing. Those post-salt room deep breaths during allergy season are great!! Let us know what you enjoy too!

🧘🏻‍♀️We have a few opportunities for Salty Yoga in October. Looking forward to seeing you in the salt during the second half of the month!

🗓️ Notice Tuesdays and Saturdays on our schedule!

I really enjoyed the Pilates training I attended this weekend. 🙌🏻

It brought back lots of memories of a Pilates session at a FitFest from many years ago. In many Yoga classes I still say “this is a Pilates inspired movement” and I so look forward to saying that more now.

It has been interesting to read some of his writing from the early 20th century and consider how Joseph Pilates has also had an influence on Yoga. (Ironically, I just shared an article with my EKU Students about how westernized Yoga developed and became popular - at the same time Pilates was developing his exercise regime he called Contrology.) As his program has improved with a modern understanding of anatomy and physiology, many of his personal convictions about fitness remain fitness truths.

Of course I spent the weekend envisioning this picture of my grandmother from a Des Moines newspaper article… reminiscing about all the Hundreds I have done post partum through the years… and taking screenshots from some of Pilates original writing… can’t help but nerd out about fitness stuff sometimes. 🤓🧘🏻‍♀️
