Lara developed her love of teaching while living in Japan and
Taiwan. Along with her husband, Rick Mercier, she traveled
extensively in Asia during this time. They have also resided in
Texas, Massachusetts and Virginia, where she worked for a variety
of nonprofit organizations. After their daughter, Maya, was born,
they returned to North Carolina and had another daughter Ella. Lara
loves practicing Purna Yoga for the balance and perspective it
brings to everyday life – physically, mentally and spiritually. She
is especially enthusiastic about sharing these gifts of Purna Yoga
with others. She is a graduate of The College of Purna Yoga 200
hour Yoga Alliance teacher training program at Purna Yoga East in
2009 and continues her studies attending ongoing yoga classes and
attending specialty workshops.
